I need to get a new set as I only recently bought the car and didnt get around to makin a spare set.... silly me....

That reminds me i have to make a new set.

Either call a locksmith, best off you pull them out and take them to him, or just get a new/second hand set of locks with keys.

i kwno its a bit off topic but ... where do u get the keys made .. is it a special key or any locksmith will be able to do it

Not from a skyline, but it may be of some help...

I have a Rover tomcat that I needed to get keys made for, I took the door barrel out and brought it into my local locksmith. They made the key up - piece of piss. But the ignition barrell had an extra tumbler/slider (or what ever the term is) at the key tip, so it didn't work. The original guy at the locksimth wasn't overly keen to help, but I got onto another guy there who was happy to help. He just took a bit off the end of the key - 1 notch worth - didn't work, but I took it back each time for one more notch to be taken off the tip until I was up to the last notch and thank goodness it worked. Now I just have to rebuild the engine :)

So the ignition barrel may have an extra bit at the end to work. May not however, But I thought my method was easier than pulling an ignition barrel out.

Also, if your car is fairly new, it may need a key through the dealer as it may have electronic entry or a transponder of sorts. Other than that, your locksmith is the way to go.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
