Well, i went to the beach yesterday did some fishing with the girlfriend, and lost my keys in the sand.....

I have no fu**ing idea what i'm going to do. We looked for hours, but nothing. Got RAC to come out and break into it, then got it towed back home..... What should i do..

Yeah, should definately have spares regardless. Possibly change the ignition barrel as well so the lost keys are useless. Not sure if getting replacement keys or a new barrel would be cheaper....

as keets said, go to nissan and take as much infor as you can...

my bro works at northside nissan and i got him to cut a brand new GTR style key for me... he looked up the key details and it told him the specifics on this handheld cutting tool. Its then an original cut not a copy of a worn key if you went to "mr mint" or similar.

Ask for Adam McGuinness and tell him Scott sent you :)

Man, I did exactly the same thing the day before yesterday in Perth. I was driving the folks car and I remember sitting on a hard plasic chair and the keys becoming a literal pain in the ass, so I remember removing them from my pocket. WHERE!?!?

I only remembered that night that I had been to see a JP to get a Stat Dec signed. Went in the next morning and thank god!

I spent half the night pacing up and down biting my nails. Going to cut some copies today. Never got a spare set when I bought the car.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
