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

hahah nah i bought a new key from them, so they handed it to me and i asked if it will just work and they said yes. so i went out and guess what? it didnt work. like i told them lol

anyway they chucked in the consult and programmed both keys for nothing

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
