try taking your vin to a dealer
they can sometimes pull the key code and cut you another key without an original

but i dont know if they'd be able to do with with that old of a car.. try calling or something

find somebody else with an s13....try their keys (= , the ignition and driver door tumblers tend to wear out and anything will fit sometimes.

You can probably still get the keys cut from the dealership, I got a key cut for a 92 Accord last year @ honda. If you get a locksmith to come out, itll cost you ~100 for a key.

okay, but now i have to wait till monday. my ignition and glove box are the same key, could i use my glovebox key to make a new key?

that sucks, i fear the same thing and i would get a spare set cut, but unfortunately a key for my car is $200+

goodluck with figuring that one out, and make sure you get a spare set when you get a new key!

if your key has a chip in it, it'll only be good to open your doors,

I think I have a spare key from my 90 s13 I sold. If I can find it you can pick it up and try. PM if you want me to try find it.

If you still have ur owners manual, in the front there should a code, mine was X564 or something like that, I brought that to a Nissan dealership and got one cut for $19

Who would cut you a JDM key?!?!?!? Doesn't that need to be overnighted?
