I went to Unley Nissan in adelaide and they were f**king useless. Had to tell the guy 3 times what kind of car my V36 was, he then eventually said "We won't even look at an import, but we'll do a 40k service for $700" i asked what that included and he simply replied "Filters mate"

I enquired about the V36 transmission firmware update and neither he, or his boss knew what "Firmware" meant.

Has anyone been able to get the transmission upgrade to stop the auto hesitating and down shifting hard?

So getting a new key done is simply having it ordered in, and having the ID and immob code copied?

I don't know who Andrew is :P But am very eager to find somewhere in Adelaide to have a key done (hopefully less than $400 lol) and hopefully the firmware update.

Andrew = #Nightcrawler

He's in the SAU SA club and drives a V35. He should know someone.

Hey guys, new to this forum, just purchased a 2006 nissan skyline pv36 350gt type sp and i only got one key from the seller, now i've been to nissan glen waverley (VIC) and also today i went to ferntree gully nissan (Vic) and both places states that they cannot do the coding on a spare key that i have. Ferntree gully advised me that the immobiliser code keeps changing when they enter and exit the program and thus they dont have the system to get the spare key coded and told me to go to infiniti or to an car import dealer if they can do it. Any suggestions as to what i should do now??

In short you are out of luck.

Is that basically the program they use? because as stated earlier in the post 3 years back lol, they were able to get the codes for the V36 by ChrisB, im not too sure, but i'll try contacting infiniti in melbourne if they noe anything at all about the car...

Yep you need consult 3 and a willing dealer.

no one else can help really as they cannot get the immobiliser code.

Dam maybe i should have thought about this b4 i bought the car lol, never knew it was so hard to program a key, i did try to contact nissan japan but of course no luck there, glen waverley nissan did give me a print out of consult III program sheet of the encrypted PIN but i guess thats the one that keeps changing...

Unsure. I have never needed to program a smart key. Normal keys were not a problem IF I had the immobiliser code . Nissan stopped handing those out a few years back.

Another recommendation for FTG Nissan. I believe I was the first spare to be made through them (2011 sometime), and they were great. It's cost me a bit more (exploratory work, etc) but it was under insurance thanks to Jetstar losing my bags!

Don't forget to get your mechanical key cut as well! You can't just go to any Bunnings / basic style key cut place, you need a locksmith who can cut both sides of the key. Should cost around $20. I had mine done in Elizabeth St, Melbourne, near the corner of Queensbury somewhere. I'm sure there are loads of places though.

If you fail to do this and lose your other remote then you will not be able to access your car at all in the event of an electrical failure / flat battery!

I've posted this before, but will throw this info back out there.

I went to Main North Nissan in SA, and they couldn't code my new key. They kept using the 350Z program.

Turns out the V36 needs the Nissan Micra key code program to work. I got lucky as a staff member was in the middle of importing a V36 and followed it up out of his own interest and got mine sorted.

$300, fob, code, cut.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
