Everyone loses their keys, me more so than others.

So i had some spares cut last week, planned on putting one at home and one hidden under the car somewhere. Anyway, didnt quite get around to it.

Left my keys in a cab last night.. cab company has no record of the cab that picked me up. I do live in a small town though, so im in the process of trying to find the guy. (its the only camry taxi around with mags on it)

but anyway, if worst comes to worst i can wire up a new ignition switch and everything, that side doesnt worry me. Its the door locks and remote keyless thats gunna be a pain in the ass if my keys don't turn up.

Anyone else ever lost every key to their car? Can locksmiths do anything?

Keys arent programmed on 34's, the keyhead just has the electronic keyless entry side of it in there.

First think i did when i got my stag was test that.. checked for frequency output.. nothing there. Got a blank key cut and it started it fine.

crisis diverted. Luckily my mate is on racq today, he came round.. 30 seconds he had the door open.

And in about 3 mins i had the door fab off and the door lock out. Walked into a locksmith with the number stamped on the back of the lock and asked for a few keys.

Bingo.

Which makes me a tad scared about the security of my wagon. Well that thought followed the first initial few thoughts of 'hmm, i know of a few stageas garaged around here' haha.

hahaha you and many others.

You can look at it in a good and a bad way.

The good way is that because your car didn't have the transponder in the key head, it was cheap and easy to recover some keys. But the bad way is, your car security sucks and it really is that easy to steal. Believe me, it was my job :D

If your car did require a transponder key to start, you would've been looking down the barrel of a minimum $350-500 for a set made.

Which makes me stress the point, get a good immobiliser ASAP.

pretty sure it was my first mod, there are factory upgrade alarm type thingo's, that work with you existing keyless entry, but add an imobiliser i think, made by cyclops?

If you have the number Nissan can supply a new key (even for remote locking) - last quote about $300. If you don't have the number you may be able to get it from Nissan but I haven't tried.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
