i'm having the worse luck with my V since i've had it

only had it for less than 6 months and the radiator fans have karked it and now i'm having problems with my remote to unlock the doors. mine's a 2005 model and the remote has 3 bottons; lock, unlock and boot release.

i've got 2 of these remotes and the car isn't responding to either of them. just a few days ago it was still responding occassionally as i'd walk around the car pressing the unlock button like a mad man. but as of yesterday it's not responding full stop.

i can still lock/unlock the car when i push the button locks on the door lock but the remote itself won't lock/unlock anything.

can anyone offer any advice?

please don't tell me that i need to replace the door lock motor

+2 on that opinion.. i was having the same problem on my 2 spare keys when i got the car... went to jaycar for the batteries and tada.. problem fixed.. anyway good luck, hope it fixes your problem.

When u start the car, does the "KEY" light on the dash flash green? If it does, its warning u, ur remote battery needs replacing. Happened to me few weeks ago. Replaced batteries, problem solved...no more KEY light flashing in green.

I too have a 2nd keyless remote and i haven't used it in more than 6 mths and the battery is dead on that one so its not unusual, ur 2nd one is flat too.

1 of my remotes is hardly ever used so for both remotes to have flat batteries will be very coincidental.

anyway i'll have a look at it tonight and i'm hoping that's all it is.

cheers

Hi Bzkr,

it's not coincidental...batteries of all types have a very normal and natural 'self discharge rate', and a very definite 'shelf'/nominal use "use-by-date".

I'm betting (and hoping!), that the guy's above are on the money!

Let us know how you get on!!

Cheers.

you are a wealth of knowledge n15mo!

yes the green key light does appear so hopefully changing the batteries will sort it all out.

cheers all for your input.

no but the range thing should be more than enough to tell you that the batteries are dead. the dumb remotes do tell you (via a scan tool) battery strength.

I tell customers when the rangee drops on the remote it time to change the batteries and not at the last minute when they are on teh 2nd key and it dies at 3am in the morn... (dont ring me in a panic - I will say I told you so.)

our intelligent key looks like this:

Does not need to be inserted into the key hole. Just have it in your pocket and turn a switch in the car to start. Same goes with locking and unlocking, we have a button on our drivers side door and no key hole same goes with the boot. If you have the key in your pocket, just press the button and it locks and unlocks door.....hence the name intelligent key :ermm:

finally got round to changing the batteries in the remote and it's all sweet now

cheers to everyone for assisting me with this

just a question on remotes, how many types of intelligent keys are there. looking at the post by n15m0, he's got 4 buttons on his remote. mine only has 3 (no alarm button)

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
