Hi all, apologies if I put this in the wrong section, wasn't really sure where to put it.

So I'm looking to get a key made for a JDM S14 Silvia. My issue is the car is in Japan (I'm in Australia though) and somehow I managed to snap the only key I have in half, it's been welded back together but it barely works and takes a lot of patience to get it to open the car/turn it on. I had a copy made from the broken key but that one doesn't work at all.

I went in to my local Nissan dealership in the ACT and they said they couldn't make keys for imports because they can't look up the information on their system. The guy I spoke to has a R33 GTR himself so I think he knows what he's talking about.

I'm at a bit of a loss as what to do as I really want to send a key over there for the people who have to move/work on the car as I'm afraid they'll accidentally break it completely :(

If anyone has an advice that would be great!

Thanks,

Nic

If it's not a chip you need then any good locksmith will be able to look at the key and cut a new one from code very easily.

The mobile guy that did mine had a quick look at a nearly flat (worn out) key and bam! 5 minutes later I had 3 perfect keys.

I think around 95 - 96 they started using chipped keys with obd2 ecus. Not sure when Nissan started implementing them tho.

If it's not a chipped key then why the f** is this discussion happening? Take to a locksmith and they can cut you a new one.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
