Hello there,

Unfortunately 2 weekends ago my partners 2005 Holden rodeo company car caught fire while driving and blew up 1 minute later and burnt to the ground. Unluckily for me my handbag among other things burnt down also, most importantly the keys to my R33 were in the car which has my central locking button and the ONLY key to my car.

I was trying to source an ignition barrel and new locks etc for the car but was then told i can cut a key from the door lock if provided to a locksmith. I spoke to a locksmith and it is do-able but he was not sure whether the cars key had a chip in it or not, they're called transponders i believe. Im hoping the key doesn't because if it does the car needs to be reprogrammed.

So, Im asking if someone can tell me whether or not a 1995 series 1.5 Skyline's key has a chip in it or not or give me some more info into how i can go around this issue? Car also has immobilizer and alarm and i am not sure if the system is factory or aftermarket.

Thanks.

Also, for people viewing pleasure :).

find the key in the wreckage, then get the number that's engraved on it. send it to a Nissan dealer or key maker who knows nissans and they should be able to cut a new key for you.

it's likely the key wasn't damaged in the fire. the plastic end would have burnt off but the melt shouldn't have melted.

skyline keys are just keys, if you copy the key it ll work. however, im unsure how the remote locking system works. you ll probably be required to reprogram that with a new remote.

The key will never be found the dash melted and fused to the floor my bag was in the foot well of the car. Its gone.

Im thinking with the central locking i might have to replace or yeah try and reprogram that, which ever one is cheaper i guess.

theres no transponder in the key, its just a normal key

the remote locking would be a std remote central locking on a specific freqency/signal

either copy it or replace with an aftermarket one

sometimes the keys dont have the code because stupid importers grind it off for whatever reason

cos 1 in 100000 nissan keys made from 1988 to 1997 will open your car :)

On the topic of keys, Nismo key blanks seem obsolete.. is that right?

Yea last I checked its been discountinued there was a thread on it awhile back and it seems like everyone is sold out now. You can pick up a GT-R key from the US for about $35 at the awesome exchange rate, I'm not exactly a fan of people getting GT-R labeled things for their non-GTR but I wont judge :thumbsup:...plus I cant really talk now that I wear the SAU jumper...

just another pic for fun...Company is doing a full investigation on Rodeos to prevent it possibly happening to another car. Luckily my partner for now is getting a 2008 collarado. Hopefully it doesnt happen to that car. :)

Anddddd, A locksmith is making me up 2 new keys as we speak. Getting the lock out of the door was fun. Luckily i have small hands.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
