d'oh! you are not having a good run mate. hope you kept the little tag with the key serial no on it?

how did you loose 2 keys? can't say I'm surprised at the $1000 for 2 new ones. though maybe you can get a discount for having 2 coded at once?? maybe see if they'll cut you a deal on a batch of 4 or 5 keys so you don't have to go through this again!!! :)

Hey Eastes,

Not to be a wank or anything but that video pretty much shows where you keep an R35 GT-R to an internet full of low life car thieves.

OT

That's not really an impressive replacement fee for just a couple of keys is it...

Also are those wheels a standard colour from the dealer ?

White car dark wheels = sexytimes.

Lol You've got a point, but all you need is the suburb and then one of the various mapping programs on the net can do the rest !

Or should i just go back to making my tin foil hats ? :P

It's $1000 for just one key. I heard merc keys start at $2500!

Previous owner lost one key. I think my key is at a lost found department in one of many Airports in Australia. I tried MEL and BNE, where I flew. Offered reward. No response.

Ha ha, nope. Not the best run. :-) I'll live though!

an even easier option would be using one of the many free ip sniffers

some computer geek will spend 5 mins on google and that vid isnt necessary

that's why you insure your sh!t

mate bad luck about the keys, seems the dealers are rolling in the gtr parts tax too

Sorry, didn't see this question before.

They are stock wheels. They're pretty dark normally, but they are a little dirty as well. The brake dust dirty's them up very quickly.

Sounds like an Insurance brokers words :nyaanyaa:

You are right though, the address is easy to find with or without the video, get insurance.

I thought it was difficult to claim under certain policies if the cars keys were used. EG: break into a house and steal the keys and drive away? What i've been told so could be bullshit....

You can land a couple transmitters here for $250 direct from the US but what will Nissan charge you to code them especially if you dont buy them through them? Can anyone with a Consult III do that for you?

Dealership said the transmitters cost them about $250 including keying if I do them at the same time. I'm going to get a spare one of them.

So they get you two transmitters for the same price as you can get them from OS and then they slug you $800 just to code them!!! ( I presume you are talking about two of them as that's what I'm talking about for $250). This is for something that should take them all of 30 minutes. That just plain robbery. GT-R tax strikes again :wacko:.... Can this work be done on any Consult III or do you need the "authorised dealer" codes?

No. Sorry, I didn't communicate very well. They only charge me around $250 for the transmitter part. The little old-school steel key part is nearly $700 that has to be imported from Japan. It's a dimple key with little dimple holes drilled through it. Why is costs nearly $700, I don't know. Plus, on the GT-R, it's never actually used.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
