Hi all

Got the pin code for my key from Nissan Japan (fantastic quick service) and went to a dealer in Adelaide to get the keys - I was quoted $300 for the remote, $145 for the key and $65 to do the coding. $400 seems steep? I noticed remotes and key combos on E-bay USA for the G35 Infiniti for sale at ~US$50 - do they work ok? They say to check the FCC ID under the key in the remote, but mine doesn't have any numbers.

Anyone else in Adelaide get their spare keys done recently?

$450 is nothing...

My VW Golf is said around the $450 mark. Some BMW/Merc might be up to $800-ish.

Brand does not become a gauge to the price of the FOB keys, you can buy a jap car with over $600 per key yet some european prestige cars can be about $350-500 only. it all depends on model of the car, year made, and the complexity of the immobiliser / security feature fitted in the car.

There was a drive.com.au article , read here:

as a marker I had a customer over the weekend that wanted two new remote keys. $700 thank you. they took a setp back for a sec and realised I was serious and asked why. RS73's post explains it in a nutshell. you bought a $90k car (in its day) and expact parts to be nix for it. not so.

My local Nissan Dealer just charged me $250 for a new key including cutting and coding for my V36. They even put a new battery in the old key. I think that is just superb! :D

may i ask which dealer that was as i also need to get a new key made up for my v36

is it the same process for determining the code on the v36 as it is for the v35? (contact nissan japan for instructions on getting the serial, send serial to back, receive the code, buy key, cut and recode)

thanks for your help.

Ferntree Gully Nissan. I don't think it is as complicated as contacting Japan?? To be honest, I don't know what they did but I assume they just copy the code from the existing key. They had a few problems to begin with but found the remote they had brought in was faulty. Within 24 hours, they got another remote and sorted it out. Now they have done one for me, it should be fairly straight forward for future customers.

Did you only give them your original remote/key? Nothing else like Id tags or a third (valet?master?) key?

I just left them with the one key and the car!! No other tags. Your V36 keyless remote has a key inside if you push the release button on the back. I have never used the key though, i guess it opens the drivers door in the case of a flat battery etc.

Cheers

great. thanks mate. i called up earlier this afternoon. i spoke to vaughn who wasn't confident in doing a v36. but he quoted approx $200 ($180+$20) for the remote and key. says they'll need to order the keys from japan. but i will need to bring the car around to plug into their computers to see if they'll "talk" to each other. will confirm they can program it first before i spend the cash to order one.

thanks very much for your help!!

If your in VIC take it to FTG Nissan. They are approved New GTR dealer and know what they are doing. As they already did mine it should be straight forward for them.

This is very good news to know that I'll have support from Nissan when I purchase a V36

haven't had much luck with this...

brighton nissan assures me they shouldn't have an issue programming the key despite it being a grey import. so with that, i purchased the spare key off them. after i paid and received the key they tell me they can't do it and refuse to even attempt it. not happy, brighton nissan.

so i take it ferntree gully nissan, who were an absolute pleasure to deal with (thank you danielle). unfortunately, they tried and were not able to get it working despite trying the different codes they had. i was given PIN READ (OFO29) and told to ask nissan japan for the corresponding four digit pin. i contacted nissan japan via email ([email protected]) only to get an email days later from nissan australia saying i should get the dealer to contact nissan australia, who would be able to help them. once ftg nissan explained the situation to nissan australia i was told to contact nissan japan.

sigh... so i reforward my email to nissan japan. it's been almost a week now and no reply. is there any other way to contact them?

hi guys. thought i'd post up the happy end to my story. after several attempts to get the pin code from nissan japan (who never once responded to me directly), i got a call out of the blue two weeks later from ferntree gully nissan. was told they found a contact for getting pin codes and they should have an answer soon enough.

sure enough, two days later, got a call back and was told the code. then booked in a time, sent my partner around and 45min later at the dealership, all done.

for anyone interested, the remote and key was around $215, the programming was around $50. not too painful from my point of view.

lotsa <3 ferntree gully nissan!!

Yes they will. Metro Nissan service will do it. Mention me or they will bitch and moan about not being able to do it. Car is the same as a 370z.

They need to look up the immobiliser code and then C3 the key in. Bring a jar of Vaseline ..

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
