Hey all,

Today I tried to unlock my drivers door with my spare key to find that it wont open the door. I can unlock the boot and start the car with the key but it will not the door.

Funny thing is, my normal key (has OEM keyless entry) will open the door and start the car but will not open the boot.

Both keys look the same (in terms of cut) however my normal key is more worn.

Can anyone advise on why this might be and what I could do to get both keys to open all locks?

Also, I was talking to a mate about alarms today and he said not to put an "upgrade" alarm on my car as simply unlocking the doors (either by remote, by turnign the key or flickign the door switch) will disengage the alarm/immobilizer. Something to do with the solenoid sending out the pulse. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Note: I have the OEM keyless entry system

Thanks!

if you put an aftermarket alarm on then you will need to unlock the car with the remotes that come with it rather than the OEM ones, as most alarms also have an immobiliser and pressing the button disarms it as well as unlocking the car.

Thanks mate,

when i was talking about the "upgrade" alarm, from what ive seen there are some systems which use the OEM keyless entry to run the alarm/immobiliser. He was saying that you cant hook our cars up to these as simply unlocking the car in any way will disable the alarm.

Oh well, im just going to get a full alarm system...

Isn't that the point of unlocking the car.. No point unlocking the car and still have the alarm enabled.. Talk to a proper alarm shop specialist about your options and whether you can program your OEM button to be used as your alarm/unlock instead of the aftermarket one..

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
