Hey I am new to the skyline world. So I went to mr minit in sydney to get a spare key cut. After scanning for an imobilser chip the guy said I dont need the chipped key. So I got a key cut fot $10. I havent tried it yet. However does this sound right? Will it start?

Thanks in advance

I don't have a 300GT, but I would be surprised if they don't have the same NATS system as other V35s. see if it starts the car. If the engine just cranks, but doesn't start, then you need a chipped key.

My 300GT is a P Collections and it has the factory immobiliser and transponder key. I had Mr Minit cut me a spare and they tried to "detect" the transponder but were unable to offer a replacement. The car won't start with the cut key, just turns over. I presume this is the same NATS security that the 350GT versions have.

I doubt it, probably just a factory upgrade. Nats is built into the ecu/bcm, perhaps it's more the bcm that does it, or just the factory alarm you have.

I haven't heard anyone of this forum discuss their V35 having "factory alarm" without it being a NATS.

I have the usual windows label, the flashing LED labelled "Security" on the steering column, car turns over without starting when using cut key etc.

Chris Rogers wrote in his V35 FAQ on immobilisers, "all of them have a factory one and that it is not compliant with insurance nor OZ stds ADR 82/00. Exception is the M35 Stagea"

Its not a requirement of importers to remove the factory immobiliser in NZ.

there is a factory or dealer 'alarm' option which is in addition to the standard NATS immobiliser. Not sure if it can be fitted to a 300GT if it doesn't already have NATS.

    • Found the answer: it wont fit without a bit of work- you'd have to change the guards as well
    • Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.
    • So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.
    • Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
