Ignition Barrel Messed With :(

[hamiltonau]

just got back from a 2 month vacation and got NRMA to turn up to give the battery some life..as i went to pop the key in..oops. no ignition!?

some roving kunz from redfern/maroubra/laparouse have got into the car somehow (windows fine though my mate said he locked it) and tried to start it. thank god for immobilisers..

a friend said if i jump start it i should be able to get it going with a screwdriver and then go get a new barrel etc and have it fixed somewhere.

is currently on edgecliff rd woollahra, would any mechanic fit it fine or best to go to an import specialist?

will put pics up when home but yeah front of ignition is clean, just the metal barrel cylinder is sheared off so the front end is separated..sniff. poor skyline.

oh and its an r33

don't go to a mechanic or an import specialist as neither will be able to help you. you need to go see a locksmith (not just someone who cuts keys but a proper locksmith). any half decent locksmith should be able to source you a new ignition barrel, and a good one should be able to source you one that uses the standard key.
