Thread: Rather unusual photo request: titanium key!

  1. Default Rather unusual photo request: titanium key!

    Good afternoon folks, I have a rather random enquiry! A magazine I work with are looking for a shot (or shots) of a titanium NSX key - sadly my car didn't come with that key (they were Type R, weren't they?), but if any of you folks have one and are local to me I'd be extremely grateful if I could come and photograph it! Alternatively, they might very well accept a picture you take, I would just be the party to hook you up. Please feel free to email me steve@stevehallphotography.net if you can help or advise.

    cheers,
    Steve

    Not specific to Type-R AFAIK.

    I'm guessing you need a high res photo? None of these do? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=go...w=1680&bih=904

    Yeah needs to be hi res, and as it's for use in a high quality publication, lifting from google not a solution. Luckily one of the good folks from here has contacted me and I'm most likely shooting his key tonight so the mag will have their images first thing tomorrow!

    Not sure for the market outside Japan but Monel (not titanium) NSX key was the standard Main key for all NSX models until the coded key was introduced.

    I still use the original Monel key every day that came with my NSX 22 years ago so the colour has changed (more like shiny gold these days) and I have a blank Monel one but the parts bag is not even opened so glad someone else has offered the support.
    As a side note, depending on the country spec of the key, please photoshop the key code or even the actual key cut for security reasons.

    For security reason, please do not post the image of one's IG key.
    Above photo has been edited although it's too late as it's been cached.
    There is a way to create copy of the key even without showing the registration document or even the existing key so please be careful.

    Sorry Kaz but I'm still not sure how showing an image of the keys will breach security on the vehicle as no registration number or car ID is shown and there's a Cat 1 alarm fob intalled on the car to boot.🤔

    I'd suggest Kaz is right but I think it would be highly unlikely for someone to reproduce a key. If you can make one from a plasticine mould then you could make a "replica" key from copying the key ridges to make a mould. Then using a key blank produce a key. Especially easy to get accurate with a high quality picture. Of course you still need to know which car the key is for lol.. All sounds extreme and far-fetched I suppose but I'm sure there are professional car thieves that could use this info to help in their "work"
