Hi guys , Just found this forum have read many posts already and let me say its a great community you have going here .

I recently imported a 94 skyline gtst M spec and I was wondering if I should have got more than one key , I saw in the owners manual about 4 different types and the only one I recieved is the one with the round plastic head .

Is there supposed to be one with a couple of buttons on it for the doors etc ?

Any help is appreciated .

i dont think it would have buttons on the key as its a 94 model and not to sure if they came out with standard imobiliser preety sure they didnt

as for the key yes get one cut straght away you dont want to lose your original pay afew hundred to get the locks changed or fixed

i think you should have gotten at least 2 keys.

1.) the key you are talking about with the balck plastic head with the skyline symbol on it.

and

2.) a key that can only start the car and will not open the glove box and the boot,where the other one will.

there is another key you were talking about with buttons on it i think this might be for those people in japan that wanted the option of a trunk release etc... but im not 100% sure on this.

well i got only 1 key with mine ... i got it cut immediately ... i also got a seperate central locking immobiliser thingy with it ... but i'm not sure it was immobiliser but it did the central locking ... anyways its a good idea to get it cut straight away ... a mate with a honda civic ... 98 model lost all his keys ... had to go back to the dealer to cut more keys and it cost him over 1 grand cause honda keys are special ... computer codes or something and integrated alarm system ... it only costs like 5 bucks to get cut ... cheap insurance i think ...

Pops, you're right about the valet key - I read about it in the owner's manual.

The idea is you can give that key to the valet parking guy when you go to the opera (hahahahahaha) & it lets him drive the car but not get into the parts where you keep your valuables - ie: glovebox and/or boot.

it's a nice idea. Buggered if I know how many people ever use it.

Akeenan I think your right on the mark there I think its called a valet key which I didnt recieve , thanks for the info .

i am correct!

is the key that opens the central locking an option or standard?

i think it would have to be an option because im pretty sure the driver side door motor would have to be replaced with a master for the remote to unlock/lock all doors. This is what happens when you get an alarm fitted that has central locking you need to replace the driver side motor.

I too only received the one key with the plastic head on it so I got another few cut as spares, just in case.

The guy who cuy my spare keys said that Nissan keys have a tendancy to wear out and suggested using the cut spare one more often. Also, be careful when getting them cut as it took these guys 3 attempts before they cut copies that worked.

The first would open doors and boot but not start car, the second didn't open anything and the third set finally worked.

Rough price for a genuine Nissan key (from Japan) at least $300 !!!

does anyone know if anyone in australia can have the keys cut by just supplying a code? i remember when i had my honda civic (australian delivered) all i had to do is go to a locksmith and quote a code which was stamped into the original key. and within minutes had a brand spanking new key. i had one cut at mister minit before but didnt work because it was too worn. i just got my skyline and there are numbers stamped on that key as well. i wonder if it is still the case with imported cars? Does anyone know what i'm talking about or had it done for an import?

I also only got the basic plastic head key and want a good looking key befitting a good looking car :P

Right now I'm using a $2 key cut at Parklea Markets :-(

I wouldn't mind joining in the group buy for a nismo key

      Short shifter r34

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
