I recently purchased 2 genuine nissan keys to suit my r33 gtst off kudos ms for a little over $40 including postage (which all went smoothly). My problem was getting them cut, I went to 2 difference places for each car, Mr Minit and bunnings, both copies look pretty daggy and neither of them worked initially but I was able to use my awesomeness to file out one of the keys to work by myself (took me ~1.5hr), the other one looks so shitty it is beyond a joke. He didnt even bother charging me for it atleast he just said sorry.

Is there anywehere I can go where I can be guaranteed a decent key cutting job, not just some dopey teenage employee who spends 10 seconds on the job and couldnt give a shit if the key works. I dont care if I have to pay alot more for it instead of the usual $3-5 or travel a little further than a 5mins drive I just dont wanna keep having to buy more keys online as they arent that cheap. Or would I be best off spending a whole day doing it myself sitting in a dark corner with my little file.

I had the same problem with my Mitsi a while back. I ended up going to a Lock and Safe shop in Bunno (probably out of your way) but they did a fantastic job and I then had the keys coded by Mitsubishi.

Your best bet is a lock and safe shop or maybe a jeweller to try and clean up the dodgy work that the last guy did.

Blinky

there is one place, i cant remember the name but total nissan in cannington use them and they are awesome! (had my $80 GTR key cut by them with no probs) cant remember the cost per key but it wasnt too expencive and they did a awesome job! anyways umm if i can think of the name i'll let you know

Actually on this note, I only have one key for my car and have done for ages.

Wheres the best place to get one and cut? They still sell them at nissan or will I just need to buy a blank GTR key?

Also, only have one thingo for my immobiliser/central locking. I haveno idea of the brand as it was in when I got it.

Easier just getting a whole new alarm system than trying to get a new thingo?

Diamond Lock and Key on Main Street in Osborne Park (I think that's still Ozzy Park...) We get all our keys cut there (I work for Jason Mazda) and every one is perfect. Never had a problem. Costs us just less the $40, not sure if that's trade price or not though. Either way, excelent work. Unfortunately, not open on the weekends, otherwise I'd be there now getting a key cut for a 32.

Yeah its in Osborne Park, just nest to the Main st/Hutton st lights. And yes, they do kick ass work and have awesome equipment.

There is a place in Morley/Dianella called A1 locksmiths you can either take the key to them or they'll come out & see you but their work is excellent they really know their stuff & the dealership I work at always sends me out to get the key done their they also do transponder programming. Thats the little computer chip in your key for central locking & stuff.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
