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!

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
