I just had a steal key cut for the M35 the guy behind the counter said he wouldnt put it in the ignition because it might shut the car down. Is this true Has anyone tried using a standard key. Im not going to bother with the factory key because i cant get my BCM and nissan in adelaide are no help.Nissan told me that with the factory key the buttons only unlock and lock the doors and the key itself starts the car. so i guess i dont need the key with the buttons then. They also said if I did have the metal tag with the code that it was for the cut of the key. Im just going around in circles and i cant find what im after on any forums

i have a metal key that starts the car. AFAIK there arent many M35s around with the coded keys. chris rogers will know what to look for.

as for shutting the car down, yes if you do have coded keys and you dont have the correct code key, then it will stop the car from starting. and then it wont start again.

lucky that happened to me at a nissan dealer (in my S15), and they fixed it for free!

Just confirming that the stock key chain ONLY locks & unlocks the vehicle, there are no transponders in the unit, that is straight from Hornsby Nissan.

That said, providing yours is not an aftermarket ignition/lock you should be sweet, the key you have just had cut should work fine.

Bah! Your pulling our leg on this one ain't you? :)

They probably felt guilty about over charging you for everything else they supplied or did :P

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
