I recently purchased 2 genuine nissan keys to suit my r33 gtst off kudos ms for a little over $40 including postage (which all went smoothly). My problem was getting them cut, I went to 2 difference places for each car, Mr Minit and bunnings, both copies look pretty daggy and neither of them worked initially but I was able to use my awesomeness to file out one of the keys to work by myself (took me ~1.5hr), the other one looks so shitty it is beyond a joke. He didnt even bother charging me for it atleast he just said sorry.

Is there anywehere I can go where I can be guaranteed a decent key cutting job, not just some dopey teenage employee who spends 10 seconds on the job and couldnt give a shit if the key works. I dont care if I have to pay alot more for it instead of the usual $3-5 or travel a little further than a 5mins drive I just dont wanna keep having to buy more keys online as they arent that cheap. Or would I be best off spending a whole day doing it myself sitting in a dark corner with my little file.

I had the same problem with my Mitsi a while back. I ended up going to a Lock and Safe shop in Bunno (probably out of your way) but they did a fantastic job and I then had the keys coded by Mitsubishi.

Your best bet is a lock and safe shop or maybe a jeweller to try and clean up the dodgy work that the last guy did.

Blinky

there is one place, i cant remember the name but total nissan in cannington use them and they are awesome! (had my $80 GTR key cut by them with no probs) cant remember the cost per key but it wasnt too expencive and they did a awesome job! anyways umm if i can think of the name i'll let you know

Actually on this note, I only have one key for my car and have done for ages.

Wheres the best place to get one and cut? They still sell them at nissan or will I just need to buy a blank GTR key?

Also, only have one thingo for my immobiliser/central locking. I haveno idea of the brand as it was in when I got it.

Easier just getting a whole new alarm system than trying to get a new thingo?

Diamond Lock and Key on Main Street in Osborne Park (I think that's still Ozzy Park...) We get all our keys cut there (I work for Jason Mazda) and every one is perfect. Never had a problem. Costs us just less the $40, not sure if that's trade price or not though. Either way, excelent work. Unfortunately, not open on the weekends, otherwise I'd be there now getting a key cut for a 32.

Yeah its in Osborne Park, just nest to the Main st/Hutton st lights. And yes, they do kick ass work and have awesome equipment.

There is a place in Morley/Dianella called A1 locksmiths you can either take the key to them or they'll come out & see you but their work is excellent they really know their stuff & the dealership I work at always sends me out to get the key done their they also do transponder programming. Thats the little computer chip in your key for central locking & stuff.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
