Yes, I am an idiot .. no spare key :rofl:

Can't find my key anywhere in the house (where it must be since my car is in the garage). What is the the deal if I cannot find the key at all ? Luckily the car is unlocked at least. Will I be able to get a replacement key from Nissan or have to get a whole new ignition barrel and key from a wrecker or something ? I really do not want to have to change all the door locks as well.

Stupid, stupid, stupid for not having a spare.

Any suggestions ?? Is there a serial number on the ingnition barrel or something that might help ??

I believe you can take your vin no and other vehicle details (like chassis no) to any nissan dealer and they can cut you a new key using the factory specs.

I haven't done so myself but worth a call to a nissan dealer.

pull your door barrel out and go to a locksmith and they cut the key to the coding of the barrel we do it at work all the time for customers .

Thanks everyone,

I thought the key might have a transponder in it that would prevent a standard key from starting the car ?? Does anyone know if a standard key cut from the factory one will still start the car ?? (i.e. with no lock/unlock buttons)

Otherwise I guess I will be the guinea pig and get a key cut to the door lock barrel and see if it will work :rofl:

That wont work. Ever notice how a key wears down after use and eventually becomes just a flat edge with no bumps? Well, as the key wears so do the pins in the lock, meaning a brand new specifications key with highly accentuated edges will no work any more as the pins have also worn down to accept the worn key.

I would suggest you remove one of your door handles or the lock from the boot and go to a locksmith and get a new key cut that way.

my s1 had a factory allarm fitted but i had to get an australian approved one fitted. you may have a factory fitted allarm. i had a nissan sticker on the boot window but any alarm can be fitted to overide factory and work as the primary allarm, and central locking. hope u find your key. ps if u find it a copy cost 10 bucks

Theres a 4 digit number on every key. (it may be on the barrel as well), could also be on FAST?

Just quote the number to a reputable locksmith and he will cut it using the Nissan database.

no actual key required. (yes this means there are only 10,000 key combinations)

Some compliance shops feel it's prudent to grind the number off the key.

Our number is ground off our key, but it's in really good conditon so I'm just going to get some spares cut off the one we have.

Also, there should be a 4 digit number printed or stamped on the lock barrels. Just get that and get a key cut from the code, instead of taking out the whole lock!

Cheers, Greg.

The one on eBay Australia? That one doesn't have the central locking remote control on it, it's just a key with a Nissan plastic cover.

dont take out the barrel, take out one of the locks from the doors or the boot lock man.

BTW for anyone whos interested, you can get a mobile locksmith to come out and cut the key without removing any locks from the car. Takes them about 1/2 hour

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
