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.

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
