R33 Key cut

[MYSTR33]

hey i was wondering, i have 95 r33 gtst i only have one key for it.. because it comes with factory central lockin etc, i cant get the key cut, coz it's got a chip inside the

key.

if i just cut it on a plain normal key will i be able to start the engine.

as i have installed a after market alarm immobiliser..

coz i dun wanna loose my only key then get stuck with phoning japan etc

umm... I dont think central locking is associated with any sort of chip.

I "think" chips are only used for immobilizers. I have made a spare for my

1994 R33 and it starts the engine fine, central locking mechanism is just

that - i honestly dont think think there is a chip involved.

Mate like Eug, i have a 95 and i had a spare cut and have had not problem getting into and starting my car......i'm sure that u will have no problems if u cut a new key

If your key has a code punched on the side of it, go to a locksmith and they can make you a "perfect" copy based on the code (rather than doing a manual copy, which copies wear).

AFAIK the only people that need to worry about "chips" in their keys are R34 GT-R owners.

okie dokss i took it to the lock smith people they wont cut it coz they say it's got a chip in it..

well i'll tell them to cut it anyway

BTW is ur key the type has a FAT holding bit with round button?

[lwells]

Weird. Maybe you have some special order factory alarm?

hey you would have a factory imobiliser, r33s do come with them but i have only ever seen one with it, so guys who are saying there is no chip involved have probably never seen one with an imobiliser/factory central locking.

i would say the best bet for you is to get the imobiliser bypassed and put in your own alarm, which means u can easily get spares cut and u can put in whatever imobilisers you want.

Hey siksII, thanks for ur advise, i already have an aftermarket imobiliser installed.. so does dat mean i can just cut my key?

nissan factory guys are pretty thick in the head.

i have that key with the chip inside and the big button. its just for factory central locking. no imobiliser. had the same discussion with the locksmith too and had the key cut anyways. works fine though abit rough on door lock but it still works for emergencies.

then just means the Technician at nissan is stupid ass

I reckon for five bucks to cut you another key it is worth the risk. try it and see
