im hoping @Chris Rogers Can possibly help me but will make the post because i cant DM him.

 

My car was imported in 2017 with 1 key. Found a place who can sell me an OEM programed pretty cheap. Just wondering if anyone in Brisbane can do it?
Nissan (Costly i know but worth a shot) Rejected me because its an import and they cant program to the certain frequency..?

Any help would be awesome.

Agreed. Nissan are so full of shit. If you take a look at the Nissan Consult software (I have it here with my Consult III+ scan tool), our vehicles are definitely listed in there.

Maybe the dealership you spoke to doesn't have the Immobiliser auxiliary module for their scan tool but I highly doubt that. Maybe I should look to buying that module for my scan tool as a future consideration, even though I have two keys and the PIN code.

They told me they didnt have some specific pin thing for the frequency needed as its not the same as 350/370z.
Which i remember reading a while back that its not as easy to program a key here as people think.

 

But if i can find a local guy who can do it for a bit of $$.. i'd rather give them the money over nissan,

That doesn't make any sense to me. My understanding with these vehicles is when you're adding a key to your vehicle, you are programming the BCM to accept its unique signature, not the other way around. So this thing about frequencies smells of horseshit to me.

It's a ballache to say the least, no doubt about it. One thing I can give Ford credit for is that they will allow you to program your own keyfob in their crappy Falcons as long as you already have two working keys on hand. Nissan seem to have made it more difficult but not impossible with the right tools.

I'll go through my Nissan Consult software when I get home and see what this screen is all about because I'm willing to bet that with the appropriate peripheral plugged into the Consult III+ scan tool, that ought to allow the user to plug the key into the slot under the steering wheel and add it to the BCM.

If only I were that well-versed at it! I take it you don't have the little metal tag that would've been supplied by the dealer in Japan to the original owner?

I would need to buy the immobiliser peripheral for my scan tool to have a poke around and see how it works because it turns out that I can't access that menu option without it. However, according to the procedure manual, there are two PIN codes involved. One of them is the PIN code I referred to, which can be obtained by the scan tool or otherwise is physically on the BCM's label. The second code apparently has to be obtained from Nissan's website after entering the other PIN code on their site (I suspect this is the same as the four digit code I have punched into a tiny metal tag that came with my keys when I imported my car). I might buy the immobiliser peripheral for the hell of it. I've spent more money on less useful stuff in my lifetime. :P

More information about procedure can be found here: https://nissan-techinfo.locksmithsdrm.com/sdrm/ni_02_4218/Overview of the SDRM process.pdf

In short, the dealerships have the scan tool and as long as they have the immobiliser peripheral (aka Security module), then they most definitely can do it and if they bullshit you about frequencies, you can tell them that this process is done via their scan tool connected to the OBD port, not over the airwaves.

Otherwise, hopefully there is a very well-equipped locksmith (not talking about his wedding tackle) who is more willing.

Good luck!

I have a mobile key cutter who has all the gear. He can interrogate the system and make keys to suit...both the transponder and the central locking.  Its a half hour job and he has a number of specialised electronic gizmos. I am sure there is such a person in your city.

OK. I did a bit more homework and I think I have the missing piece in the puzzle.

So, the locksmith/dealer in question needs to have:

  • Consult III+ scan tool (or compatible)
  • Security module (what I was previously terming as the immobiliser peripheral)
  • In the event that the secondary PIN code needs to be calculated - access to Nissan's Techinfo site for their PIN code calculator OR a piece of software released by a clever mob in the UK for about $30

Process:

  1. Plug in scan tool, load the Consult III+ software and enter the Immobilizer menu
  2. Follow the directions given in the software, whereby it will either extract the PIN code from the BCM or you take a note of it from the label on the BCM (will be four digits under the barcode)image.png.11d24f9d1467260e8ef979caf4aed977.png
  3. Secondary PIN code:
    1. If you have the metal tag which has the four digit PIN code punched into it, that will be the secondary PIN code and you enter that when requested by the Consult III+ software
    2. If you do not have this metal tag, then you will need to use either the (ahem) acquired software calculator or have someone with access to Nissan's dealer support website to perform that calculation for you. The resulting calculated secondary PIN code is then entered into your Consult III+ software.
  4. Continue following the directions to program your keyfob and away you go.

Still no mention of "frequencies" anywhere. :)

Another thing I forgot to mention is to make sure you have all working keys with you when you do get it done, because they all need to be registered into the BCM. Of course, if you read the Nissan document, you would have already seen that but figured I'd cover that just in case.

Hopefully that's enough ammo, otherwise, as Kiwi suggested, find a decent locksmith who can do it all instead and tell the dealers to eat their own poop they love to shovel.

Hey lads,

Dashy send me a picture of the numbers on your BCM which is jn the lhf kick panel and I will get your pin code for you mate.

I just recently went through this saga replacing the ECU on the missus 2007 350GT and had to code the two keys that came with the car to the second hand ECU. Simples stuff

Wondering if there's anyone in here that can help me with a G37 key. Nissan were hopeless. I've got no idea what I'm doing but have a key that needs programming . Melbourne based

If you have an AuDM Infiniti G37, my first suggestion would be one of the ex-infiniti dealers, like Brighton.

however, if you have an imported V36 Skyline, then I am not sure, dealers can be a bit finicky about imports.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.

      Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.
