yeah ive checked that out...those guys are expensive, any mobile guy is gonna charge u a bomb!!

i read up on google, some ppl actually remove the key latch at the boot compartment and take it to the lock smith, since its a car with no fancy alarm or anti theft system, i suppose i cud do that ?

do advice...tq

Yea do it that way. When my bro lost his key he got a mobile mechanic to come out. They had to take out the drivers side lock (because it has the code on it) so they could make a new key.

not sure mate, because i think its ONLY the drivers side lock that actually has the key code on it. Maybe someone else can confirm if any other locks have the code written on it.

i took off the boot key,

locksmith did it, but ignition isnt working.

all doors unlock fine but ignition doesnt work.

locksmith said there are 8 codes on key for doors/boot plus 2 more for ignition, he cudnt figure out the last two or some shit...

damn .... i have taken out the ignition barrel, going to take it to the same locksmith - hopefully that helps...

Taking out the ignition barrel helps in one of two ways only. A...they decide to do the fiddly thing, try and see which wafers are set in the current configuration, pull the code from those numbers, cut a key and hope to god they were right. B, they cut a new key and change the wafers in every lock on the car to match the new key...handy if ur key has been stolen, does no good if u try and get a pre-cut key from nissan as the code will no longer be right for that vehicle. Expect to pay through the teeth to re-key your entire vehicle. thats at least 2 hours labour IF they work hard on it.

As per Kris' above comments...the drivers side door lock is the only lock with the correct code stamped into the tail piece of the lock. Keying it to the boot will not achieve anything but a nice new boot key. Your best bet is to exorcise the drivers side door lock - because trust me getting it out seems like a pain but will save you time, money and grief in the meantime.

Or hell...you could go to Nissan and ask them to ship you a new pre-cut key overnight from Japan :(

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
