key hole delete

mbz · 09-23-2009, 10:45 AM

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.

mbz · 09-23-2009, 11:15 AM

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

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?

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!

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?

$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.

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}

nogoodname · 09-23-2009, 02:07 PM

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

nogoodname · 09-23-2009, 02:34 PM

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

shumby · 09-23-2009, 02:36 PM

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