yeah ive checked that out...those guys are expensive, any mobile guy is gonna charge u a bomb!!

i read up on google, some ppl actually remove the key latch at the boot compartment and take it to the lock smith, since its a car with no fancy alarm or anti theft system, i suppose i cud do that ?

do advice...tq

Yea do it that way. When my bro lost his key he got a mobile mechanic to come out. They had to take out the drivers side lock (because it has the code on it) so they could make a new key.

not sure mate, because i think its ONLY the drivers side lock that actually has the key code on it. Maybe someone else can confirm if any other locks have the code written on it.

i took off the boot key,

locksmith did it, but ignition isnt working.

all doors unlock fine but ignition doesnt work.

locksmith said there are 8 codes on key for doors/boot plus 2 more for ignition, he cudnt figure out the last two or some shit...

damn .... i have taken out the ignition barrel, going to take it to the same locksmith - hopefully that helps...

Taking out the ignition barrel helps in one of two ways only. A...they decide to do the fiddly thing, try and see which wafers are set in the current configuration, pull the code from those numbers, cut a key and hope to god they were right. B, they cut a new key and change the wafers in every lock on the car to match the new key...handy if ur key has been stolen, does no good if u try and get a pre-cut key from nissan as the code will no longer be right for that vehicle. Expect to pay through the teeth to re-key your entire vehicle. thats at least 2 hours labour IF they work hard on it.

As per Kris' above comments...the drivers side door lock is the only lock with the correct code stamped into the tail piece of the lock. Keying it to the boot will not achieve anything but a nice new boot key. Your best bet is to exorcise the drivers side door lock - because trust me getting it out seems like a pain but will save you time, money and grief in the meantime.

Or hell...you could go to Nissan and ask them to ship you a new pre-cut key overnight from Japan :(

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
