I bought a Nismo key from Japan for $60. I went to Canberra Locksmiths in Phillip but they said they couldn't cut it because the key doesn't have a "gutter". Has anyone else bought one and had it cut successfully?

The guy in Phillip said he could give it a go but he felt mot likley it wouldn't work:(

Taka Kaira in Japan won't give me a refund either! Even if I pay postage both ways! Bastards!

I got a GTR key from UAS and had it cut at CLASS Locksmiths in Fyshwick.....they charged me 18 bucks. When I took it in he asked me if I wanted it copied or cut to factory specs...I chose factory specs obviously !

I enquired how they cut it to factory code and it was explained that they had to decode your original key...which turned out to be just reading the number on the shaft and entering that into their cutters computer....$18 worth ????....ah well, at least it works.

My key did however had a 'gutter', but maybe CLASS can do the biz for you...check them out...they're pretty good.

51 Kembla St Fyshwick.....62806611 or 1800 655 549

Let us know how ya go.

Ok I just got back from Class Locksmiths.

They confirmed I have the wrong blank. The blank I have is for an R34 not an R33. Taka Kaira the place in Japan I got it from arn't being too helpful. I have sent them an email telling them the product code from the box. I also noticed on the back it lists (in Japanese but model numbers in English), R34 but no R33. I reckon they have sent me the wrong blank by mistake. They so better replace it!

NOT HAPPY JAN!

Bummer man...sorry to hear. Another option is to get in touch with someone who sells those NISMO keys in Aust, and (really nicley) ask if they would be so kind to help out a fellow import nut by swapping your R34 key for a 33 key ???....Unique Auto Sports is the Australian NISMO agent (I believe)....maybe them ??, or JustJap....Best of ruck repracing key.

UAS didn't want my key. They don't stock R34 keys 'cause there arn't enough in Aus to justify it! He said he could sell it on consignment but I've decided just to put it on the forum.

UAS said my experience was typical of dealing direct with Japan.

My advice: STAY CLEAR OF TAKA KAIRA!!!!

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
