key hole delete
 

i don't know if this can be done, on my cousins infiniti g37 he removed the key hole cap with the passenger one to cover up the key hole. would i be able to remove the key hole door handle on the drivers side of the 370z and replace it with a passenger side door handle so there is no key hole on both sides

Yes, works great! I just swapped the whole passenger side door to the drivers side... looks way better than the "key hole" ever did.

Another option would be to fill it up with epoxy to block it off.

is there a diy on how to remove the door handle and how much does a passenger side door handle cost?

my I ask the stupid question.]


what keyhole??? is there even a key with the car?

rofl @ this.

keyhole delete is only for G's and not for Z's.... that's it... simple.

You could just look for the JDM left door handle.

but if your battery dies out on smartkey you would be stuck.

keyhole works in the event of battery failiure, the keyfob will work when inserted in the socket (who has ever tried this?) {not, its not a keyfob battery charger}

the car will notify you when the battery is getting low on the keyless

I have yet to have that issue with no key hold and battery going dead.

i would so get the JDM left door handle, awesome idea

Not a bad idea at all

keyholes are so played out

This would look awesome...

But I just don't trust technology that much...

and it is my line of work.

Imagine you accidentally get the keyfob wet... I don't think its water-proof... Lithium Battery would probably die... and stuck out of an really cool looking key-fob less car :)

I have put my fob through the washer/dryer. non issue still works

does anyone know how to remove the door handle or have pictures?

I would advise against removing the key hole. Just how I look at it but what if your FOB battery goes dead how are you going to get in the car, without a keyhole to put the key?

how many people would ever notice you did a keyhole delete or JDM left door handle swap? I personally had to go check my car after reading that it even had a key hole because its so unnoticeable as it is.

I know, some people just like this kind of stuff, i just wanted to voice my opinion on why I think it may not be worth the effort.

Go for it and carry this to get in.

:iagree:

I had to do the same thing. and i do have a keyhole... my question now is did everyone get a set of keys with their car? all I got was two of the FOB things.

the key is in the fob ;)

holy f8ck. That has to be the pimpiest thing on the planet. Why the hell was i never told about this?.

thank you sir.

JDM driver's side door handle adds 30whp!

or if the car battery DIES lol......thats why you need it

rofl! I did the same thing. I was shocked when it still worked. :eek:

how do you remove the door handle?

Page 227 in the DLK section of the service manual.

DLK

thanks

HAHA NOICE!

The door handles are roughly 58 dollars each. Well thast our price but I dont know about JDM.

Do you believe that anyone (besides you) who happens to ever lay eyes on your car in any way, shape or form really even notices or cares if your car (or any car in the world for that matter) has a key hole or not?

:icon18:

This was a mockery, getting rid of the key-in option is a horrible idea. Sorry you didn't read my sarcasm.

haha hating on the guys that just want to stand out sooooooo bad!:rofl2:

But on a side note, I think the key hole covers are a good look. You are given plenty of time to replace your fob battery once it lets you know that its running low on juice, so I don't see the "being locked out of your car" reason to be valid. This is just a cheap alternative to giving your Z that "unique" look. Since I'm on the topic... anyone know of a site that actually sells decent ones that fit/look good on the Z?

Haha you realize that post is almost six years old :icon17: ;)

$hit happens. You cannot assume anything in an emergency situation, so I would caution against removing the keyhole entirely. If I did this, I would just buy a pair of JDM handles and have the passenger door be the one with the keyhole (assuming you could even make that work with a US model).

I can't say I have seen a keyhole cover on the market for a 370Z. I know they have them for the G's.

Umm yea my key fob died on me today and if I wouldn't of had a place to unlock the car, I would have been between a rock and a hard place. Keep it imo because you never know when you'll need it...

yeahhhh its a little dated, but still relevant :roflpuke2:

yeahhhh Thread Throwback :roflpuke2:

Great way to ensure you can't get into your locked car if your remote batteries die. I'll never understand wannabe do it yourself "engineers" trying to mess with what's not broken

I thought this was a for sale thread :wtf2:

Why is this in classifieds lol

I was wondering the same thing:inoutroflpuke:
