Hey guys,

My key fob has been playing up recently after i had a flat battery.

It just does not work straight away. I have to keep holding the unlock button for anywhere between 5 - 10 minutes before it finally unlocks/locks. Once it has unlocked it work work fine if i keep pressing unlock and lock.

I tested the battery with a tester and it shows that it has full power. I dont think it is a battery issue as it works fine once i unlock it and then press the unlock/lock button.

I also dont think it is the actuator as even the boot doesnt unlock straightaway.

Anyone experienced this issue?

If i had to but a new key and fob, how much would it cost?

Not with a new key.. Nissan only. I got told I cannot buy keys anymore. Something to do with theft. Never mind the high 5 figure sum of money I spend with them they will not sell me keys.

As for your issue I would bet that the battery terminal is oxidized or loose internally. See if you can split the fob and look at that first. Those fobs are on the wrong side of $400 locally and there is no way around it as they are unique to that car.

Hey Chris, Thanks for your reply.


So yesterday i ended up trying a new battery and it worked. (I should have tried that first). I did test the battery with a tester and it showed excellent so i thought it wouldnt be the battery.

anyways, where could i get a new fob from? complete with the transponder and stuff?

Do they come in different designes? the OEM one looks very old skool and boring.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
