Keys on some 1200s in some markets are matched: One key opens all doors as well as operates the ignition. In other markets there is a different key for the ignition.

Usage

1972 USA Owners manual (see page 11):

The "ACC" (accessories) position of the switch permits you to use all of the electrical accessories.


JDM STD and DX models used a non-locking steering column. The ignition switch was on a bracket:

  • B110 STD, DX
  • B120 -7804
  • B120 7804-8910

Key Styles

Two styles were used (center, right). The newer, longer one (left) will work, but is not the original style.

The grooves are for the keylock, so they are the reverse of the actual key.

Interesting that some 1200s (newer utes?) came with two different keys originally. The 1971-1973 north american models came with single key for ignition, doors and trunk.

Oval Single-Sided Nissan Key

This is the earlier style for 1968-1971 Datsun, Mazda before the double-sided keys were used. This was used by 1971 1200s, and for door locks on 1972-up non-North American models

Key Code

When your key gets worn down too far, making a copy results in a poorly-working new key. Instead, have a new key cut from the original key code.

  • In Australia, the key cut number was stamped directly into the original keys
  • In USA, the key cut number was penciled onto the inside of the glove box door:
