370Z Forum --

So I had a bad bit of luck today.

While I was on my run, my Z key popped out of my pocket and I only noticed it 15 minutes after it had happened.

Good news is I found the key but it landed right on a set of street car tracks (think Euro subway system) and a train had ensured that my key had met its demise. I was able to salvage the mechanical key and get into my car.

I checked the owner's manual and I did not find anything on it, but I know that other Nissan vehicles can accept a mechanical key. I couldn't find anything confirming this in the owner's manual but does anyone know if the Z is able to accept a mechanical key to start the motor.

Pretty lousy way to end a Sunday but I guess I learned a lesson here...

Thanks.
