Hi guys , Just found this forum have read many posts already and let me say its a great community you have going here .

I recently imported a 94 skyline gtst M spec and I was wondering if I should have got more than one key , I saw in the owners manual about 4 different types and the only one I recieved is the one with the round plastic head .

Is there supposed to be one with a couple of buttons on it for the doors etc ?

Any help is appreciated .

i dont think it would have buttons on the key as its a 94 model and not to sure if they came out with standard imobiliser preety sure they didnt

as for the key yes get one cut straght away you dont want to lose your original pay afew hundred to get the locks changed or fixed

i think you should have gotten at least 2 keys.

1.) the key you are talking about with the balck plastic head with the skyline symbol on it.

and

2.) a key that can only start the car and will not open the glove box and the boot,where the other one will.

there is another key you were talking about with buttons on it i think this might be for those people in japan that wanted the option of a trunk release etc... but im not 100% sure on this.

well i got only 1 key with mine ... i got it cut immediately ... i also got a seperate central locking immobiliser thingy with it ... but i'm not sure it was immobiliser but it did the central locking ... anyways its a good idea to get it cut straight away ... a mate with a honda civic ... 98 model lost all his keys ... had to go back to the dealer to cut more keys and it cost him over 1 grand cause honda keys are special ... computer codes or something and integrated alarm system ... it only costs like 5 bucks to get cut ... cheap insurance i think ...

Pops, you're right about the valet key - I read about it in the owner's manual.

The idea is you can give that key to the valet parking guy when you go to the opera (hahahahahaha) & it lets him drive the car but not get into the parts where you keep your valuables - ie: glovebox and/or boot.

it's a nice idea. Buggered if I know how many people ever use it.

Akeenan I think your right on the mark there I think its called a valet key which I didnt recieve , thanks for the info .

i am correct!

is the key that opens the central locking an option or standard?

i think it would have to be an option because im pretty sure the driver side door motor would have to be replaced with a master for the remote to unlock/lock all doors. This is what happens when you get an alarm fitted that has central locking you need to replace the driver side motor.

i got two - neither with a plastic head - infact i must say ive got one of the most goddamn biggest uglist keys you've ever seen - i dont even know how to describe it but up the top its got all these swirly patterns eeek its awful. And the other one more pleaseing to the eye but nothing special.

Both open glove compartments etc - wish i had the proper skyline key *sniff sniff*

I too only received the one key with the plastic head on it so I got another few cut as spares, just in case.

The guy who cuy my spare keys said that Nissan keys have a tendancy to wear out and suggested using the cut spare one more often. Also, be careful when getting them cut as it took these guys 3 attempts before they cut copies that worked.

The first would open doors and boot but not start car, the second didn't open anything and the third set finally worked.

Rough price for a genuine Nissan key (from Japan) at least $300 !!!

Cheers, Al

does anyone know if anyone in australia can have the keys cut by just supplying a code? i remember when i had my honda civic (australian delivered) all i had to do is go to a locksmith and quote a code which was stamped into the original key. and within minutes had a brand spanking new key. i had one cut at mister minit before but didnt work because it was too worn. i just got my skyline and there are numbers stamped on that key as well. i wonder if it is still the case with imported cars? Does anyone know what i'm talking about or had it done for an import?

I am wondering who is interested in a group buy of good looking Nismo or factory Nissan keys.

I also only got the basic plastic head key and want a good looking key befitting a good looking car :P

Right now I'm using a $2 key cut at Parklea Markets :-(

T.

I wouldn't mind joining in the group buy for a nismo key

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
