hi all

just wondering if anyone has replaced or got a new key cut for a r33 gtst ser 2.

i only got one with the car and im thinking it might be a good idea to get a replacement but im not sure if its a straight cut or if you need a special key, i rang nissan who didnt seem to know?

thanks everyone

Theres a code for it but i have lost it sorry... Im sure someone will answer it shortly but if they dont ill get it tomorrow...

I went to a Key cutter and he owns a skyline and had replacement key there (not genuine nissan) . Was ugly but still does the job.

Hey,

Assumming that there is no immobiliser in the R33 key...

At first I went to bunnings and they did a average job. key would hardly turn. Got money back and made sure they destroyed the key.

Ended up going to a pro locksmith shop and they can cut it with no worries. They just match up a blank with the same length and patten as your stock key (which thy should have in stock) and cut it. Got 2 done and had no problems what so ever!

Only cost like $10 or less. Just looks like a generic key but hey it works! :-)

Ended up getting a Nismo key and took it back to the locksmith. Worked first time and still does.

When I bought my R33 it only came with one key, I went to local Nissan dealer who has FAST software.

He looked it up and said you cant get actual Skyline 'S' one anymore, they just have a Nissan one (same key as N15 Pulsar I think he said). I ordered it ($15 or so), was just a silver key with black top with Nissan written on it, then went to locksmiths and got it cut for $5.

AFAIK can only get this or a GTR key.

thanks for your help mate :}

i went to my local locksmith and they cut me a new key for about $2. didn't work very well cause the key he was cutting it off was a bit worn so he just kept filing it till it worked.

he also said to get the lock number off the lock in the door and he could cut me a good key for it.

How worn is your key? If you send me a pic/scan of your key I may be able to tell you what your code is going to be. It has to be a good quality photo though and close up to the key.

There's no need to pull your door apart sometimes.

To confirm... all R33's do not have coded keys... in other words, no immobiliser feature which involves the use of the key - hence, you can bring it into any key-cutter and for around $8 or something, you can make yourself replacements. However, I wouldn't suggest having more than 2 as the more you have, the more likely they will be displaced and hence this could mean the more likelihood of your car getting broke into with the use of it's own key.

Good luck.

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
