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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
