Thought I might add some info for people looking to get a new key and Fob for a Skyline GT370 or similar V36 models

this what I found-

Nissan don't want to know you. although some will try if pushed with info provided by some of the threads here.

Parramatta nissan being one who said they would try {no gaurantee it would work} after telling me the cant do it, they wanted $225 for the pleasure to Program the key.

Mind you some dealers don't have the security module for the consult 111+ scan tool so fair enough.

Keys Fobs , Sinergy motorsports sell them for about $200  genuine JDM import. Key plus Fob - Stock could be problem in the near future

Nissan charge around $380 +

If you can find your part number you could probably get one a bit cheaper directly from a Jap parts website online.

I did also find some second hand units online in Japan about $135-170 posted to Aust.

couldn't find any info whether these can be reprogrammed ?  Let me Know Brains Trust

Programming the key-  there are  a few locksmiths who can do it with a bit of searching, charging $165 for programming. That will vary with each locksmith.

I did find a guy in sydney who could do it with non genuine parts for $350 all up  but who knows what quality you will get.

All in all the process is time consuming and painfull but can be done.

if anyone knows someone in Sydney who can program them cheaper let me know 

Hope this helps

You can also buy a second hand FOB for like $10 on Yahoo auctions in Japan and get it delivered. Then you need a blank key + outer shell if you want a brand new looking key, altogether around $10 from aliexpress plus get it cut in Bunnings/Mitre10 < $10. Not sure about what happens now but when I needed a spare key for the v36 I found a guy in Melbourne who did it for $150+GST, so altogether under $200 for a brand new key programmed.

To get your fob programmed i found two people in sydney that can help

Garry from safezone locksmiths on the central coast and Tom from ultimate locksmiths in sydney 

about $160-$170 for the fob to be programmed.

let me know if you can get a second hand fob reprogrammed as it might save a $100 or so off buying a new one.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
