Key For R34

Hey all. Just wondering if anyone has purchased a spare key for their R34 ?

I want a spare one so I went to Mister Minute and they don't stock a suitable key ( even just the blade without the central locking buttons ). I've been to almost every key place I can think of and no joy so I went to Nissan and guess how much they quoted me for a "KEY".............

$422.35 :yes::(

OK, so it has the central locking BS in it but it doesn't even have an immobiliser built in and yet they want $422.35 for a fcuking uncut key ?!?! For that kind of money the key should be able to perform oral sex on me ( and damn well too )

And yes, R34 keys are different to R33's, R32's etc etc.

So, are there any realistic options available that you guys know of ?

I got a spare key cut at a keysmith at Chatswood Westfield basement near to the coles or woolies. Just tell them that there's no special chip or anything. Cost me 5-8 bucks if i rem correctly.

edit- for $422.35 they better take it in all 3 places and bring their hot twin sister along..

not sure if it's different from store to store cuz I onlt went to 1 store. On the key it says 'Edmond's" I think it's a generic key thing?

here's a picture of it, don't look good, but would look like Keira Knightly to me if I ever loose my original key.

cheers

I hear what your saying about the price of the key. I was quoted between $550 to $400 for the key unit. One option is to order the key blank blade from Alibaba.com. Ask nissan for the electrical circuit board inside the key for the central locking (cost $130). Encode it (instruction on another thread).

It's a cheaper option and it works.

only time you need a geniuine key in an R34 is if you have a GTR. the rest fo tehm work on a copy. if you want the remote entry key I can get them cheaper but they are still expensive.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
