I purchased a Nismo blank key from a Japanese website. I specified in my order that this key was for an R33 skyline. They sent me the blank for an R34. They have refused to exchange the item, even when I offered to pay all the postage.

Considering this was their mistake I think it's pretty unethical! :)

Does anyone know if there is any government agency I could complain to (considering the company in question is in Japan)???

I have considered ringing the Japanese embasy (or what ever they have) to see if they could offer any solutions.

If anyone wants the name of the place PM me.

I got their details from an ad in fastfours so I've told them what I thought of the company!

The Nismo blank keys are ONLY for R32 & R33s. They cant make them for R34s as each key has a code built in for the immobilizer.

So unless they sent you a key that looks nothing like the one below then you have not been ripped off!

1st of all the blank doesn't fit in any of my locks (it's wider than the original key)

several of the locksmiths I have been to have told me it should if it's the correct blank.

2nd. It doesn't have a gutter and the original does.

3rd. on the back of the box it lists the models it's for and it lists R34, S15 etc. but not R33.

Anyone who wants to buy it, it's on ebay here:

Guys....I went into Nismo HQ before Christmas as a friend back in the UK asked me to get a Nismo key for his BNR34. I asked the guys at the shop and I got the reply I mentioned on my earlier post.

I have no idea if the key fits a ER34 but it sure as hell doenst fit the BNR34!

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
