Just had to post something on this.

Couple of weeks ago, I visited Evo R in search of a GTR ignit key, I know it's just a key, but I wanted one. So turned out it would cost $120 and take three weeks coming from Japan. So I picked myself up off the floor and left.

I was recently back as Evo R to find that it now costs $140 with the same wait. Stood up again and walked out.

So I called Nissan who said that they could get one, it was $41 something and was silver in colour. Figured it couldn't be too bad so said to get me one. Came in the next working day and picked it up today. IT"S THE SAME KEY!!!! The one Evo was trying to flog for $140.00!!!

So now I'm so pleased with myself, and if any fellow GTR owners are interested, $41.39 through Nissan.

Photo attached. I know, it's just a key. But I like it.

Yeah, bit bigger than I would have chosen, but it was already in the car so.......

It's a Boomerang Alpha something, it's a two way tranceiver meaning you not only send a lock/unlock command to the car, but should someone breach the security, it will actually page you by beeping and vibrating as long as the car is within a 1.2 km range. Mine seems to be more like 150m though.

I think the key profile for a GTS-T is the same, you can actually buy the same key with Nismo on it instead of GTR.  But don't think you'll get it through Nissan.  Evo R has the Nismo version on display.

You should be able to get the Nismo key from Nissan. The guy at the local Nissan dealer did me a second GTR key for 40bucks too & if your key has a serial number on it they can cut it at the same time:D & it should suit all Skylines.

For those wondering about the alpha, I don't know what they're worth as the unit was already installed in the car when I bought it. I believe they are available from 'In Car Options' in Melbourne, search the web and it should list some other dealers.

Basically, the pager uses the same transmission signal as the alarm notification, that is, it only communicates on its own discrete RF frequency. There is a little module stuck on the inside of the windscreen which reads "tap to page", and tapping the spot triggers my handheld which alerts me and says "CALL!" So no, I don't actually pay anything.

Don't know a great deal about the unit as a user manual was not supplied. I do know it does some of the following.

As well as all the normal functions of a remote alarm:

- Alerts transmitter of alarm trigger up to around a km

- Automatically starts engine on programmed time.

- Provides Cabin Temp from transmitter

- Remote engine start

(The idea of the above two is that should you check remotely that the cabin temp is too cold, you can remote start the engine and the CC warms the cabin to desired temp.

- Two stage shock alert back to handunit

- Proximity disarm (it actually senses the remote is within proximity say 2 metres and auto unlocks the doors without having to push the button)

- Also doubles as a turbo timer which bases the run on time on measured oil temp and revs. When I've been taking it easy, it doesn't run on, when I've been thrashing, it does.

- Remote engine off, ie. if the unit runs the unit on and I've removed the key and am no longer in the car, the Engine button can be used to remotely stop engine and arm.

- Does quite a few other things which I have yet to use

Don't know how good it is as a deterent, but it looks serious with the driver paging module under the screen and long range receiver device under the visor.

No ones attemped to break in as yet. (TWood)

not trying to deter you guys from that alarm, it sounds good, but, from what i hear it aint cheap, and i know dAVE on this forum is actually doing, or did a group buy for a similar alarm, and it worked out cheaper, i am not sure of exact details, but here is his email address for you, honestly, check the one he is getting out before you buy anything...

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
