It's been AGES since I've last come onto these forums, but I figured this would be the place if any to put this up...

Clearing out my storage boxes, I found my brand new blank Nismo Design Key that I bought from the Nismo Omori Factory in Japan about 10 years ago.

It's completely un-touched, and ready for cutting.

Those who have been looking for one will know how hard these are to find, even more so in a blank, un-cut state.

I have no idea what it's worth today, but using a similar listing on eBay (where they are asking for $680), I'll put mine up here for $500 neg.

In no rush whatsoever to get rid of it, so don't waste your time with low-ball offers... It's been a while since I've visited SAU, but if you look at my post & thread history, you'll see I was a very active member (NSW Exec at one stage).

Hey mate, tried to send a PM but looks like your inbox is full.

I'm interested in this, PM me if you could. Cheers

Sorry about that, didn't even check... inbox should have space now.

Still got it? Cash waiting

Yep... Just dusted it off the other day, these should be as rare as world peace these days, will need to see how many (if any) are still for sale and for what price.

At least $1,000 USD

Thanks.

Due to a recent resurgence in interest, I've taken another look at what's available on the market... there's a grand total of 1 going on ebay for 640GBP which is well over $1k, another forum post suggests 120,000 JPY is not uncommon on Yahoo JP if and when these come up.

I can't seem to update my original post but the price is now $800... expensive for a blank key yes, cheap for a true collectors item and one of the few things that will continue to go up in value if left un-touched.  As such, in absolutely no rush to sell :)

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
