d'oh! you are not having a good run mate. hope you kept the little tag with the key serial no on it?

how did you loose 2 keys? can't say I'm surprised at the $1000 for 2 new ones. though maybe you can get a discount for having 2 coded at once?? maybe see if they'll cut you a deal on a batch of 4 or 5 keys so you don't have to go through this again!!! :)

Hey Eastes,

Not to be a wank or anything but that video pretty much shows where you keep an R35 GT-R to an internet full of low life car thieves.

OT

That's not really an impressive replacement fee for just a couple of keys is it...

Also are those wheels a standard colour from the dealer ?

White car dark wheels = sexytimes.

Lol You've got a point, but all you need is the suburb and then one of the various mapping programs on the net can do the rest !

Or should i just go back to making my tin foil hats ? :P

It's $1000 for just one key. I heard merc keys start at $2500!

Previous owner lost one key. I think my key is at a lost found department in one of many Airports in Australia. I tried MEL and BNE, where I flew. Offered reward. No response.

Ha ha, nope. Not the best run. :-) I'll live though!

an even easier option would be using one of the many free ip sniffers

some computer geek will spend 5 mins on google and that vid isnt necessary

that's why you insure your sh!t

mate bad luck about the keys, seems the dealers are rolling in the gtr parts tax too

Sorry, didn't see this question before.

They are stock wheels. They're pretty dark normally, but they are a little dirty as well. The brake dust dirty's them up very quickly.

Sounds like an Insurance brokers words :nyaanyaa:

You are right though, the address is easy to find with or without the video, get insurance.

I thought it was difficult to claim under certain policies if the cars keys were used. EG: break into a house and steal the keys and drive away? What i've been told so could be bullshit....

You can land a couple transmitters here for $250 direct from the US but what will Nissan charge you to code them especially if you dont buy them through them? Can anyone with a Consult III do that for you?

Dealership said the transmitters cost them about $250 including keying if I do them at the same time. I'm going to get a spare one of them.

So they get you two transmitters for the same price as you can get them from OS and then they slug you $800 just to code them!!! ( I presume you are talking about two of them as that's what I'm talking about for $250). This is for something that should take them all of 30 minutes. That just plain robbery. GT-R tax strikes again :wacko:.... Can this work be done on any Consult III or do you need the "authorised dealer" codes?

No. Sorry, I didn't communicate very well. They only charge me around $250 for the transmitter part. The little old-school steel key part is nearly $700 that has to be imported from Japan. It's a dimple key with little dimple holes drilled through it. Why is costs nearly $700, I don't know. Plus, on the GT-R, it's never actually used.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stop on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, you need to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By Duncan · Posted

      Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.
