It's been AGES since I've last come onto these forums, but I figured this would be the place if any to put this up...

Clearing out my storage boxes, I found my brand new blank Nismo Design Key that I bought from the Nismo Omori Factory in Japan about 10 years ago.

It's completely un-touched, and ready for cutting.

Those who have been looking for one will know how hard these are to find, even more so in a blank, un-cut state.

I have no idea what it's worth today, but using a similar listing on eBay (where they are asking for $680), I'll put mine up here for $500 neg.

In no rush whatsoever to get rid of it, so don't waste your time with low-ball offers... It's been a while since I've visited SAU, but if you look at my post & thread history, you'll see I was a very active member (NSW Exec at one stage).

Hey mate, tried to send a PM but looks like your inbox is full.

I'm interested in this, PM me if you could. Cheers

Sorry about that, didn't even check... inbox should have space now.

Still got it? Cash waiting

Yep... Just dusted it off the other day, these should be as rare as world peace these days, will need to see how many (if any) are still for sale and for what price.

At least $1,000 USD

Thanks.

Due to a recent resurgence in interest, I've taken another look at what's available on the market... there's a grand total of 1 going on ebay for 640GBP which is well over $1k, another forum post suggests 120,000 JPY is not uncommon on Yahoo JP if and when these come up.

I can't seem to update my original post but the price is now $800... expensive for a blank key yes, cheap for a true collectors item and one of the few things that will continue to go up in value if left un-touched.  As such, in absolutely no rush to sell :)

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
