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.

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
