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

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
