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?

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

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
