Ok so im not sure if its true or not but i heard that there is a locksmith that can cut the factory Nissan imort key (eg: for a R32 GTS-t) without having to buy a blank key from Japan.

Anyone know if its true or had it done and where abouts?

Cheers B

You can buy the blanks from your good old local Nissan dealer. Nothing speacial about the keys, same as most locally delivered stuff. I brought as blank off Von Bibra's up he for my R33, cost not much more than $20. Then got it cut off the code number at the local locksmith.

Well so far i have had 3 keys cut at 3 different locksmiths and none of them work. All will go into the ignition but none will turn the car on.

Looks like im one of the unlucky ones and will have to pay $50 for a NISMO blank key :)

I noticed with my silvia keys (they obviously have been cut) they only work one way around, as in you put it in the barrel and it slides in fine but won't turn, take it out rotate it and put it back in and its fine!

also you barrel could be slogged out and isn't accepting a fresh cut key (how was the condition of the old one?)

Yeah thats what i thought as well (more like hoping) but when Darren looked at the barrel he said it was fine, and that without the proper blank he wouldn't be able to match it up (or get it work).

So looks like if i loose my keys then im good and proper fooked :D

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
