Lost my freaking original R32 GTR key on the weekend (ahh the perils of clubs that don't close). I have spares but they were cut badly and only seem to work in the ignition, and badly at that.

Does anybody over in Japan know if Nissan can supply the original ready-cut keys (not just blanks) for a car that old ('89)? I have a mate in Okinawa that I can get to receive it and send on.. but just wonderin.

Spose otherwise I just have to get another blank and get a locksmith to cut it??

they dont supply pre cut keys. nissan (either japan or aus or anywhere) sell only blank keys.

just buy a blank from nissan aus. it may need a little linishing after being cut to work nicely.

Are you in Australia?

Just Jap sell gtr key blanks.

Get one of those and grab one of your keys that "were cut badly". Bring them both to a locksmith.

Ask to talk to a locksmith in the shop, don't talk to the counter chick or the apprentice.

Ask them to "read the cuts" your crappy key and get them to cut a new "key by code" on a regular blank, just to make sure it works good and so they don't accidently stuff your gtr blank (they're about $50 ea for a gtr blank). If it works good then get them to cut it to your gtr blank.

It'll probably cost you about $20 - $30 to get that done from a locksmith.

Any Nissan Dealer can get you an original GTR key and have it cut if you know the code.. Northside Nissan in Perth did this for me recently..

Standard keys were like $10 or $15 and the GTR keys were like $65.. This is definitely the way to go, but you need to know the code..

Have fun!!

I bought a Nismo key last year when Nengun still had them, paid $45. Nismo stopped making them so places will run out of stock soon (I think I saw some on Nismo.com). When I got mine cut the guy said that the type of key was typically hard to cut, but it has worked everytime for me.

Great collectors items now :)

I am thinking of putting my key away and having the Nismo item or spare i had made to use.

To often these keys are taken for granted and some people just think they cant be lost.

I have the code marked on the spares aswell just in case,

Anyway good luck at the locksmith if u didint have your code.

Thanks all - very helpful information. Unfortunately, regardless of the number of times I thought about it, I didnt write that damn number on the key down. Can see it in my mind... 5788.. 5978.. lol.. useless

Everyone take this chance to organise your backups -- I was blase about the whole thing, "I am so good with my keys", "I never loose sh$t" -- one seriously heavy night out and I pretty much lost everything (well.. someone definately took it all, but I was not being careful).

Have a couple of blanks on the way from UAS -- will do as KeyMakeR33 said and get them to read the cuts and cut to code on a cheapie then cut my goodies -- then ill be able to actually get into my boot again !!

Cheeeeers!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
