1996 Nissan Altima MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a guy over in the Hidden Valley neighborhood in Santa Barbara. He had a 1996 Altima parked in his driveway, one key left, and it was getting hard to turn in the ignition. The blade was visibly worn down on one side, enough that you could see daylight between the cuts and the wafers when you held it up.
He had already called the Nissan dealer. They told him they would need the car brought in, and the quote he got back made him pause. Then he started looking at options.
I showed up with my key machine and a DA34 blank. Cut it right there on the hood using his original as a reference, then test-fit it in the ignition, both doors, and the trunk. Smooth turns on all four. The whole thing took maybe fifteen minutes, and most of that was me checking the wafers inside the ignition cylinder to make sure they were not sticking. They were fine, just a worn key.
He stood there watching the cut and said something like, "That is it?" That is it.
No chip to program, no diagnostic port to plug into, no software handshake. The U13 Altima is one of the last purely mechanical Nissan key cars. A clean cut on a fresh blank and you are driving. He saved a good chunk over what the dealer wanted, and he never left his driveway.
