Hey people.

I'm in a bit of a bind here. I own a 6 speed 2003 V35 Coupe. Problem is I only have 1 ignition key. I took it down to the local Nissan dealer and they didn't know what to do. They happily sold me a new key for $500 then went and told me they couldn't program it. Now I'm up a creek if I ever loose this key, and now I've got a $500 paper wieght. Does anyone know how to get a V35 key replicated?

I've been checking things out and it looks like a no go so far.

I was talking to some people at East Coast Customs and they said that there is a comp in the car that make random code changes to the chip in the key every time the car is turned on and the key is used. So apparently removing the ECU, the security system and even changing the ignition barrel won't help. They suggested talking to Nissan in Japan. I have some friends over there so I'll get them to ask for me.

I heard that a guy on the Gold Coast might have an idea how to do it, Matt Spry is his name. Works at a place called Perfocmance Injection Tuning Service. I'll give him a call too and see what I can find. Looks like no one really knows how it's done this side of the world. So it looks like I'll just have to find out ;)

What you might have to do is send your key to a Nissan that knows what they're doing... in the states with the G35 spare key (essentially a V35 key with similar transponder) what you do is goto the Infinity dealer and give them your vin number and they'll charge you $90 for the coding.

I'll have a look around on the american forums for you on a local solution. Edit: yep just looked on G35driver site and it appears that it's a dealer only thing.

Yea I checked with the local Nissan Dealers, they said they could do it. But when I went out back to get something out of the car they were all standing around scratching their heads. That was the Nissan Dealer at Kippa Ring if that helps, they had all of the equipment to do it. but they told me they didn't know any of the codes or something. When I asked Nissan Australia they simply said it couldn't be done and that there was no way they could help me because the car was an import.

I'll post a pic of the key later buts it looks like a generic Nissan Key to me. I'll have to do that when I get home.

Thanks for trying to help out guys, I'll post more information as I get it.

Just a quick update people.

I had some friends check out Nissan Australia again. Oddly enough they were told that it was possible.

Apparently, two Nissan dealers in Brisbane could do it by liasing with Nissan Japan.

But when my friends called them up they said it couldn't be done. That was with Nissan Windsor as I recall.

No matter, I have someone over in Japan checking things out for me now. So I'm waiting on that.

If or when I find out more, I'll let you all know.

have you tried a locksmith??

A larger company would be better. And talk to someone that does the automotive key cutting and programming there. You may in fact be able to get it much cheaper than what nissan would rape you for.

I sure have, they all go umm hmm uh no.

Oh well. I tried a few security specialists and electronics specialists too.

No luck.

I got a friend in Japan to take my details to a mechanic over there and they said they don't know the engine code type. Looks like Nissan only. If nissan japan has fixed the website, I'll try and give them a call.

My email to Nissan Japan came back today. Unfortunately I have just been informed that the key can only be programmed by a Nissan dealer. Problem is I already went to them and they couldn't do it. I will email Nissan Japan back and inform them of this. But it looks like breaking the code may be the only way. I have heard rumours of people who can do this. Can anyone confirm?

Good news! I emailed Nissan Japan back and they said if I could get the BCM number from in the car next to the accelorator pedal they could get me the code! It's under the plastic covers on the back of what looks like a comp for those who need it. I sent them the number and they got me the code! I took the code to a local Nissan dealer and they copied a key for me. Thanks Nissan Japan! Too bad Nissan Australia doesn't help us with stuff like that :P

I got a replacement key coded for my 2005 V35 at Amalgamated Locksmiths at Newstead in Brisbane for $150. They advertise transponder keys on ebay. They needed my car and a working Key.... My Advice is to get a replacement transponder key first and then worry about getting one with all the buttons....Dont wait to lose your only key like i nearly did...

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
