Nummy.

So, I got the bad news today that my ViPec needs to be sent to WA to be repaired and could take 4 plus weeks.

This puts me in a sticky situation as I need a car for work

Until..... I hit a goddam Kangaroo.

Oh the humanity.. Beep Beep Booooop.

Is the shitta still drivable or was it a big roo?

Ooh so nice. Pretty jealous Edited November 14, 2013 by gtr judd

Damn man, thats some bad luck!! Guess you can only be glad it was the shitter and not the line..

Got a new key deliivered, my old one is quite worn so I had a cheapy cut first, it's REALLY tight to turn! is this normal?

at first I didn't think it was going to work, but noticed a little movement so used more force. do I need to get it trimmed down a bit further? do the lock barrels need fixing?

[Got a Pulsar]

Try wd40 on the key.

It was just a glancing blow.. Bit of a ding, the bumper dislodged which I screwed back into place, bit of trim gone and the headlight hanging out which I got back into place. Very lucky.

Yeah not suprised your Jelly of the Barina

Willing to swap? R34 GTT for Barina?

[azathoth]

Graphite powder is also good for new keys and locks.

Only if cash my way.

Damnit ! Thought I'd get a steal of a swap !

wd40 made no difference. is it likely the powder will be much better?

today, the key won't work at all in the boot (just like the 'spare' key i got with the car. But i presume its meant for valet. though the valet key has different valley size)

[Got a Pulsar]

You may need a recut or some repetition to smooth it.

Maybe just a little sanding/file.

[Sinista32]

Light sanding as suggested to take burs off then Graphite powder on key and Ignition barrel.

some things shouldn't be WD40'd. (locks is one of them)

In other news replaced steering wheel in the GTR this morn with a newie

old one is in top cond but was tempted to onsell to a mate. (and had the other sitting on the shelf taking space)

Sometimes money trumps having spares.

[gtr judd]

Locks are always tight when they are re keyed.graphite powder is the go, if it still gives you a heap of trouble take it back and get em to tidy it up a bit

I hit a small one on the GDE one morning, cracked the bumper, proke a headlight mount tab, and a couple small dents. I stitched the bumper back together with cable ties.....PERFECT.

Also, you can't even begin to imagine how jealous I am...

[Anfanee]

Ordered a few parts off RHD, Justjap and nengun. Next week will be a good week...

[Sinista32]

on topic and maybe of of interest - a full new set of R32 GTR locks including ignition barrel is $240

thinking I may buy a complete new set and get the NIsmo key cut to suit Sin.

Cant see myself selling the car or the key so seems logical they should be "locked" together

[Anfanee]

OHHH good idea. or you could give the key to me...

I'm excited for you

Also I need a new GTR key to at some stage..
