Hey guys,

I thinking of installing an electric start button in my R34 GTR and was wondering if anyone has successfully done this or know where I can get it done?

MCM did a video on something similar a while ago but I want to go completely keyless and make it look flush and professionally installed:

OK guys, I think you all made valid points so this only backs up my own personally feeling about use of a key in a Skyline. 

I just wanted to see what you guys thought. Yep, not a good idea.

Which is your personal opinion?

Post 1 or post 7, or have they changed?

Push button start is cool.

Proximity keys are cool.

I kinda agree with all of you guys. Just wanted to see if it can be done nicely but looks like it won't so would only be wanky so it's a no from me too.

Gay. 

What's the point when you don't have proximity remotes and you still need to use the key to unlock shit before hitting the button. 

If you want that start button, delete the ignition barrel and have your ACC triggered by your alarm's unlock command. Then run a rocker switch of some sort for ignition then have a start button. 

Or buy a Tiguan, chops stock GT-Rs ?

I have one in my 32 GTR from the prev owner.... its the dumest thing really. you need to turn the key then push the button.... if it was going to be anything it needs to be totally keyless or its a shit gimmick.

A lot of these reasons for not going push button start are kind of redundant considering you can get a kit that includes proximity key arm/disarm, push button start, remote start etc.

I say do it and report back!

I see...so it defeats the purpose anyways. 

Thanks for sharing though!

I've since decided it's a definitely no. Just took my R34 GTR for a drive to the shops and would feel guilty for butchering it to install this electric start button. lol

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
