Getting My R33 Key Cut?

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.

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.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...

      In the context of cam 'upgrader' I mean generally people who upgrade headers/cams - not my specific change. I mean it makes sense that if I had a bigger cam, I may get more false lean readings. So if I went smaller, I'd get less false lean readings. To a point where perhaps stock.. I'd have no false lean readings, according to the ECU. But I'm way richer than stock. My bigger than normal cam in the past also was giving false rich leanings. It's rather odd and doesn't add up or pass the pub test. Realistically what I want is the narrowbands to effectively work as closed loop fuel control and keep my AFR around 14.7 on light sections of the map. Which is of course the purpose of narrowband CL fuel control. So if I can change the switch points so the NB's target 14.7 (as read by my WB) then this should be fine. Haven't actually tested to see what the changed switchpoints actually result in - car needs to be in a position it can idle for awhile to do that. I suspect it will be a troublesome 15 min drive home with lots of stalling and way too rich/lean transient nightmare bucking away for that first drive at 2am or whevener it ends up being. Hopefully it's all tune-able. Realistically it should be. This is a very mild cam.

      Messing with narrowband switchovers is a terrible bandaid. I don't want to think about it. You are a cam "upgrader" only in concept. As you said, your new cam is actually smaller, so it's technically a downgrade. OK, likely a very small downgrade, but nevertheless. But the big thing that will be the most likely suspect is the change of the advance angle. That change could be equivalent to a substantial decrease in cam lobe duration. I haven't gone to the effort of trying to think about what your change would actually cause. But until someone (you, me (unlikely), Matt, someone else) does so and comes to a conclusion about the effect, it remains a possibility that that is the change that is causing what you're seeing.
