Hi, to all you R33 series 2 owners.

I was looking for a 21st bday present for a friend. Since he bought his car his always had only 1 key which was the original. He's tried to cut it but the key cutters have all told him they can't cut his key as he needs to order one from nissan.

I've checked the cars the nismo keys are suited for and the R33 is on there, although I'm not sure if its series 2 or not..

Can anyone confirm that it does indeed work with R33 series 2 skylines?

I dont know what you're talking about hobo, R33's dont have any computer coded keys.

I got my nismo key, and a locksmith cuts it...my car is a series 2 R33. the latest possible model (1998) so if any R33's had coded keys, mine would have it.

Nismo keys are also discontinued now, so good luck getting one.

By "coded" I don't mean immobiliser chip - I mean that the grooves of the key can be represented by an alphanumeric code and then cut to the original factory spec of the key, not by just copying the worn grooves directly (which would give you a brand new, but still worn key). The code will be something like "X5555", and a locksmith should be able to "decode" it off your current key if it's not too worn.

Google gave me this for further explanation:

Ah ok fair enough.

FYI, i took it to 1 locksmith and he cut it...but it basically wouldnt open the door. So i took it to another, and he said he had never seen such a poor cut job. he took a heap off it and made it work perfectly, and didnt even charge me for it :rofl:

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.

      The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
