Nissan should be able to get one cut for you if you give them your VIN. You can try getting yours copied from a regular key place, but be warned they dont always work. I got one copied at a locksmith and it just didnt work for some reason..

Actually kind of a related unrelated story - I locked my keys in the car once, and I got a locksmith to come out and break into it for me. He fashioned a key from OUTSIDE of the car which opened the door, and started the car!!! It took him about 15 minutes. He just stood there with his little portable key grinder, and created a key just from feeling the pins as the key went in and out of the door. It's amazing that he could do that, but the key the locksmith copied from the original didnt work!!

When i got my car from the dealer it only had one key with it.. was a key with the 2 buttons on it, Got quoted from nissan $330 trade Ex japan. Ended up getting another key off them, its just a plain silver key.$5 bucks for the key, $6.60 to get it cut!

If u like i could get the part number and u could go to nissan with it.

Ok here are the pics of the two keys.

One on the left is the one i got with the car, the right one is the $5 dollar one from Nissan

When looking for keys, Shaft length is the most important thing to watch out for..

this is the best way of knowing it is correct

Hope this helps everyone

*sorry bout the large pics*

I've had my key copied from Mr Minit. The copied will open the doors and boot, but won't turn on the engine. The key cost me like $7. They also said that they could copy the key with the central locking etc for around $270. I've got the same type of key from the photos so not too sure it has a chip in it.

Mick you can get remote keys done through Mr Minit for $130ish - It's the same key as a Patrol. :blink:

No the patrol key has a shorter shaft on it than my key.. compared it to kims dads key.

R33, stageas might be the same but the R34 is different

Jeep Keys are usually chipped that's why.

I found that out. Freaking $80 for a key only and another $180 for a button.

My skyline key works fine & its from the locksmiths. Never had an issue with it.

Buy a genuine key blank and take it, along with one of your door lock barrels to a reputable locksmith so it gets cut properly.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • 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?
