stuffed my ignition........the whole ignition thing

Umm yeah be a little more specific, like is it the steering lock assembly, the ignition switch (attached to the back of the steering lock assembly) or is it the ignition cylinder (the part the key goes into).

86-91 R31 Skylines and Pintara

89< R31 Pintara

87-91 N13 Pulsars

83-89 Z31 300ZX (make sure it has the key release push button)

83-87 Y30 Cedric or Gloria (make sure it has the key release push button)

90-93 NA31 Cefiro (i'm pretty sure....make sure it has the key release push button)

89-95 J30 Maxima (some had the same)

87< N13 NX/100NX/EXA (some had the same)

92< K11 Micra (some had the same)

.....you get the picture

These listed used the same steering lock assembly's and ignition cylinders as the r32, that means if you took one out of a r31 or n13 it will bolt straight up to your r32.

Find a R31 or a N13 Pulsar would be your best bet as they're locally built and pretty common.

If you do choose to use any other donar model, the best thing to do is to take yours off and bring it with you to a wrecker.

Go to a wrecker find an old r31 or n13, get the steering lock assembly off(the ignition cylinder should be still inside of it, it'll be one unit), it probably won't have any keys so take it to a locksmith, give them the steering lock assembly and your key for the car (they'll need it to match the second hand ignition to your key). If your existing cylinder still turns ok then bring that with you, they might be able to still use it.

If you've got the original/genuine nissan key for your car then even better. On the original keys they stamped a number, the locksmith can use that number to cut you a set of brand new keys. They'll only suggest to cut new keys are if your original keys are too worn to use......yes ok even though your original key seems to work fine in the locks, it's still worn and you need a new set anyway...believe me.

If you don't have the original keys, just give them what you've got, they'll work it out.

It's definitly not DIY job......but if you just so happen to get keys with it from the wreckers(unlikely) or if you buy genuine you can just unbolt your old one and bolt up the new one, you'll just have to put up with the inconvenience of not having one key for your boot, doors and ignition.

If your going to bolt it up yourself you may have trouble removing the old one and putting on the new one. If you do get to that stage just post up again and I'll help you through it.

Hope thats what your looking for

PS- Get an immobilisor

hey man thanks heaps for your info hey hopefully will be able to do it this weekend i hope so the beast will run the streets again

many thanks

p.s I have the original keys and have a few lads together for the fix

pp.s it's got a loose steering colum and where the key goes into is all pulled apart

Whats your thought on kill switches is that those red keys you see in some cars, what a they like do they stop the theives from doing this again or can they still get around that stuff

If "where the key goes into" is all pulled apart it sounds like the cylinder/barrel is stuffed.

And a loose steering column? Does the whole column move up and down side to side?

When you say kill switches I'm assuming you mean immobiliser's.

The first thing i did when i bought my skyline was get an immobiliser fitted.

Immobilisers can be activated in a few different ways depending on which one you buy.

They can either have a code pad, a remote to activate/deactivate the immobiliser and lock/unlock the central locking, or just a switch hidden in the car.

In all cases the immobiliser when activated, cuts power to the ignition switch or doesn't allow your fuel pump to turn on, so even if you put your key into the igintion and try to turn the car on, it won't start, therefore you can't go anyware.

For a thief unless their really smart in auto electrics and had the time to try and figure out where underneath the dash it was wired up, or they were the one that wired up the immobiliser, they won't be going far.

I'm pretty sure there's meant to be a bracket that holds it still. That might be unbolted. Unless they've wrecked your whole column somehow....

[WazR32GTSt]

i have an R32 steering column that has the ignition barrell attached to it with its key - if you want to buy it i can separate the ignition barrell from the column

PM me if you are interested
