I got one of the GTR blanks from JustJap and got it cut in hume for at the locksmith place and it didnt work. I looked at the keys and noticed that the copy wasnt ground down towards the handle part as much as the original there for the key wasnt going into the lock far enough. I gave it a quick once over on the bench grinder and it fixed the prob.

You should be able to take the key back and tell em that its wrong and they should do it again free.

Good luck

Thanks heaps for the offer. I got the keys back for the 3rd time, still didn't work so i took advice of smoothing the edges abit, just used the remel grinder thing and yea worked. i had a few keys so just incase it didn't it wouldn't have mattered but yea it worked. starts the engine and all ;-) first ones only locked the car ;-) Thanks for the help guys. Cheers

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
