Everyone loses their keys, me more so than others.

So i had some spares cut last week, planned on putting one at home and one hidden under the car somewhere. Anyway, didnt quite get around to it.

Left my keys in a cab last night.. cab company has no record of the cab that picked me up. I do live in a small town though, so im in the process of trying to find the guy. (its the only camry taxi around with mags on it)

but anyway, if worst comes to worst i can wire up a new ignition switch and everything, that side doesnt worry me. Its the door locks and remote keyless thats gunna be a pain in the ass if my keys don't turn up.

Anyone else ever lost every key to their car? Can locksmiths do anything?

Keys arent programmed on 34's, the keyhead just has the electronic keyless entry side of it in there.

First think i did when i got my stag was test that.. checked for frequency output.. nothing there. Got a blank key cut and it started it fine.

crisis diverted. Luckily my mate is on racq today, he came round.. 30 seconds he had the door open.

And in about 3 mins i had the door fab off and the door lock out. Walked into a locksmith with the number stamped on the back of the lock and asked for a few keys.

Bingo.

Which makes me a tad scared about the security of my wagon. Well that thought followed the first initial few thoughts of 'hmm, i know of a few stageas garaged around here' haha.

hahaha you and many others.

You can look at it in a good and a bad way.

The good way is that because your car didn't have the transponder in the key head, it was cheap and easy to recover some keys. But the bad way is, your car security sucks and it really is that easy to steal. Believe me, it was my job :D

If your car did require a transponder key to start, you would've been looking down the barrel of a minimum $350-500 for a set made.

Which makes me stress the point, get a good immobiliser ASAP.

pretty sure it was my first mod, there are factory upgrade alarm type thingo's, that work with you existing keyless entry, but add an imobiliser i think, made by cyclops?

If you have the number Nissan can supply a new key (even for remote locking) - last quote about $300. If you don't have the number you may be able to get it from Nissan but I haven't tried.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
