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 :)

ha. who needs a key to break into a r33 anyway?

haha yeh we broke into it within 1 minute with a coat hanger lol. Car is open now i will take the door lock off tomoz and get the key cut for it. Easier.

Thanks all for the help. Cant wait to have my car back.

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.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
