Hi Guys,

We've jut bought a 2000 R34 but only got one key remote and a spare standard key but would like to get an additional key remote for a spare.

Anyone know of where we can get one.

Thanks in advance, Mark.

Nissan Australia might not be very helpful but try your luck, if not then Japan is your other choice but expect a 3 month wait and a price that is equivalent to a brand new alarm system which comes with 2 remotes. Dont forget you still need to get the new factory remote programmed........nightmare!

take the car VIN to nissan . prepare to pay through the nose for it. its similar to the nissan patrol but with out the transponder.

an alarm may be a cheaper option - where are you btw?

Thanks for the response guys,

As you both replied to both my posts I'll respond to both issues in this one.

I'm on the Gold Coast.

The key remote appears to be irrelevant as I will fit an immobilizer which will likely come with new remotes anyway.

I will have a word with the dealer that we bought the car from as if it's a compliance issue I may suggest that they contribute to the cost of an immobilizer before I inquire at Qld Transport about the RAW that did the compliance!

I know that an alarm is a major deterrent but I absolutely hate them as any that I have had in the past have always gone off regularly in high winds or for other false alarms and my heart just can't take that sort of stress so really am only interested in a good immobilizer.

Any suggestions?

Mark.

You could try turning the shock sensor sensitivity all the way down...by the time the thief figures out they can't start your car because u have an immobiliser, they would have already smashed ur window, took ur stereo and fked up ur ignition...the alarm would have scared them away after they smashed ur window...

what sort of money do you want to spend and what exactly do you want it to do?

Thanks Guys,

Chris,

I know that this is something that is only limited by your bank balance but as with all things budget is a concern.

I would want a basic but quality system and installation and not knowing too much about current systems I would think that features such as the Mongoose M60 as seen on your site should give good basic security. I would want a system that can be set to silent arming, that is, would flash only, as the car is often parked in the early hours of the morning and chirping would no doubt leave us unpopular with the neighbors. I would also want a variable sensitivity control as to avoid triggers every time someone walks past the car in a parking lot etc. I'm presuming that modern systems would have these features but assumption is often a big mistake.

I'm open to suggestion so any help is appreciated.

Mark.

ok I can do them two ways . with an alarm siren and with a GSM pager. the latter will tell you what part of the car was hit/opened whilst the immobilsier keeps it in one place. there's a few variants of the GSM pager one of which can geofence.

by silent arming - do you mean silent on/off or totally silent?

they all had adjustable sensitivity. its a case of putting the sensor in a accessible spot.

again what do you want to spend on it? the above scenario is well into $1300.

I am only concerned about the "Chirp" when switching the alarm on or off. I don't need a pager. I just want to be able to exit the car, lock it with the remote and have the alarm activate at the same time as locking the car but with no "chirp" and then when returning to the car unlock with the remote again with no chirp but when triggered by an unauthorized entry or significant movement the siren would sound as usual.

From reading the description of the Mongoose M60 series car alarm with dual zone microwave sensor as listed in your website I believe that that alarm would give good basic security but I just need to know if it will Chirp when switched on/off and if you consider this a reasonable choice.

You list is as $395 so if you recommend it what would installation cost be and roughly how long would it take to fit as I would have to come up from the Gold Coast and would need to wait for it.

Alternatively do you have a workshop or affiliate on the Coast.

Thanks again for you time and assistance, Mark.

    • OK, that is a helpful description, because that sounds exactly like a bleeding issue in the clutch....these are hard to bleed manually even when the damping loop has been removed. I'd suggest bleeding again....start by filling the master cylinder up and opening the bleed nipple. Come back and check every now and then that the master cylinder is not empty. Let it gravity bleed for a few hours and see if that improves
    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
