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.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
