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.

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.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
