Imported Skyline or Elgrand with one key, a dead remote, or no key at all? New Forest Auto Locksmith works on keys for Japanese-import Nissans at the vehicle, anywhere in the New Forest, and checks the car's market details before quoting.
A Nissan built for Japan isn't always keyed like a UK Nissan. Remotes for the Japanese market use a different radio frequency, and the immobiliser and key parts can differ between versions. A key that suits a UK model may never work on an import, so the key has to be matched to the car's original specification.
That's the main reason import owners struggle to find help: UK dealers often can't supply the right key, and online sellers rarely know the difference. We confirm the specification from the chassis details first.
Skylines span decades and several very different generations, from 1990s performance models to later saloons and coupés. Some older cars use a fairly simple key, while later models use Nissan's immobiliser system and, on some versions, keyless entry. For a Skyline key, the generation and specification decide everything, and a Skyline key for one version may not suit another, so please send the chassis number and a photo of the key before we quote. More on our Skyline page.

Call About Your Nissan ImportNissan (Import) key work, at your vehicle in the New Forest.
The Elgrand is a popular import as a large family car and as a camper conversion. Many have an Intelligent Key that also works the power sliding doors, which makes a working key even more important day to day. Elgrand key replacement covers the start, the keyless entry and the door buttons, each tested at the vehicle. If a camper conversion has had extra locks fitted, mention them when you call, along with any alarm added during the conversion, as these vary a lot between converters. Our Elgrand page has more.

Nissan (Import) key work, at your vehicle in the New Forest.
A spare made while one key still works saves time and money later, especially on an import, where the correct key can take longer to source. Lost keys and keys that have stopped working are dealt with at the vehicle, with the remote paired to the right frequency. The Spare Car Keys, Lost Car Keys and Car Key Programming pages explain each job. For UK-market Nissans, see our main Nissan page.
