Does anyone know if these will work? http://www.ebay.com/...282c206&vxp=mtr Or These? http://www.ebay.com/...2828548&vxp=mtr The title reads: 521, however these keys do not look similar to the key that I have.

ruckycharms Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Don't wanna waste your time bro, so please make sure that they are NIssan Brand. I can get the aftermarket ones on ebay fairly easily, but as you should know I am a brand whore.. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 ill see what i can find Link to comment
EvilTwin182 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Have you checked your local Nissan Dealership? I ask only because I have a 71 and 72 521 that I have been shocked what the dealers can still order straight from the horses ass as it were. Hope this helps Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I dunno about where you live. But in Orange County, Nissan dealerships are a fucking joke when it comes to Datsun parts. A few of them had the audacity to laugh at me for even asking for Datsun parts. Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Pardon my foul language. That animosity was not aimed at you :console: Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 You can buy them new at Nissan, but you get a modern looking key. Definitley not what the original keys looked like, they are longer as well. 521 came with three different keys. If you need this type, $15 and they are yours: But note there is a mirror-image version of them. So compare your key to the photo. Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I've seen those everywhere, and they are $9.99 on ebay with free shipping. But my concern is that they wont be the proper fit seeing as how there are two open channels on either side of the key whereas my key only has one channel on each side. Also they don't seem to line up quite as well either? Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Like I said, there are 3 different keys for 521. What kind does YOUR truck need? Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Pics of my keys are in the first post sir. Those are my actual keys. and the serial number is... well keep readin! Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 OK, those are early 521, e.g. Ilco DT4. You probably want two of these Link to comment
ruckycharms Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Please say you have some? Link to comment
merlin Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 i likely have several in the DL keys.. I have a huge bag of one sided Datsun keys i rescued from a repair shop that cut keys in the 70's. Link to comment
Eagle_Adam Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 i struck out - sry man Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 These are four DIFFERENT keys Each key is shown on both side. There are two more DIFFERENT "N" keys which look nearly the same, except they are double-sided. Link to comment
merlin Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 the one i have is the same as the first pic in your thread, just says Montreal DL made in canada $7 bucks mailed and I throw in a datsun jacket patch. Link to comment
ggzilla Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Here's another graphic showing the diff between the four single-sided keys. With centered groove or offset groove. And a mirror image of each. It seems Datsuns sold here 1966-1970 came with any one of the four. 1971 they changed to double-sided (reversible) keys. Link to comment
