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 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 !!!

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 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 :-(

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