Hi guys, just bought my first skyline a few weeks ago and have discovered that the key is really worn. Its gotten to the point where I cant even start it anymore, and cant get in through the drivers side door.

Not too sure whether to buy a new key and barrel or can I get a new key made here in Melbourne?

Called Nissan and because the car is imported they dont have any info on it to send me a new one. Its a 1993 4 door gtst.

Do I need to change the locks as well with the key and barrel if I went down that path?

And what is involved if I was to change the barrel my self ie does it have anything to do with the ecu?

sorry for the noob questions but as Ive said, its my first skyline/fuel injected car.

Any help is much appreciated.

On the provision you have a working set of locks and a key to match a all of them then a lock smith can fix all of this. Take a door lock to them and get the key made to suit that lock.

that is a standard issue thing though. the rear lock and the door locks are TWO keys, a master key and a valet key. valet will not open the trunk but does everything else.

cheers for the help guys, the drivers door only sometimes unlocks so I usually have to go through the passenger door. Ill pull the barrel out and try and get another key cut. Is anyone from Melbourne that would recommend a decent lock smith?

    • 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

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
