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..

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
