Is it just me or am I starting to see more and more r33 GTST's crusin around with GTR badges on them. On the way to work the past two days I have seen two different GTST's with them on. Im almost certain theyre not cause they dont have flared guards and one of them looked like they almost standard GTST width tyres on it and they both dont have the GTR body kit on them.

Whats with it, I cant understand why you would do it, the only people that will really appreciate the fact that its a GTR is a skyline enthusiast or for that matter a jap car enthusiast, who will also pic a fake a mile away.

Has anyone else spotted these fakes whilst out and about and what do you think about them, personally I just laugh my head off, I drive a GTST and proud of it and i wont lie I wish it was a GTR but its not so why pretend.

you really don't like em do you nex :P

haha I loved that thread, pity half the pics don't show up anymore.

It is also an example of how crap these people are, as it was complaints from the tossers and their fake GTR's that had the thread locked! :laugh:

good times :P

Ahahaha I dont think i would be proud to have a GTST with a GTR badge on... obviously the person is trying to state a point. Isnt the whole idea to beat GTR's? If that was the case I would be putting my GTST badges on!

I actually debadge my GTR for some time and its true.... some cant tell the difference. Get more races, get more tools.... lol

GTR or GTST ... still skylines, better than your commodores.

Yay Arbess!!! A GTR owner who gets it!!! Doesn't discriminate and doesn't judge. A Skyline is a Skyline. I hate hearing that crap about how us 'poor' GTS-T owners need to earn more money to get a GTR!! I Chose the GTS-T for my own reasons, and judging by the amount GTR owners have to spend to make more power, it is a clear cut win to the GTS-T crowd. There are more of us and there always will be, so get along or don't, your elitism is unwarranted and sad.

Sorry to all those GTR owners who do socialise with us, but most don't want to.

personally i dont descriminate any GTST owners at all, i do have respect for most of them ( some of their cars are faster than GTRs any way).

but putting a badge on is just stupid..........i saw one the other day, but he ran away from me. lol

I am one of the lucky few who have a foot in each camp.

I have a R33 GTR V-Spec in pristine condition that I use for my weekend toy.

I also have a very nice R33 GTS-T Series II that I use as my daily driver.

I love both of my Skylines with a passion (just ask the wife) and I appreciate each of them for what they are. They are two very different cars and I would never put a GTR wing or badge on my GTS-T because I am proud to own it as a GTS-T.

And on the seventh day God created the Nissan Skyline and to own one is like nothing else.........

Reason I bought a GTST is that it was about $10K cheaper than a 32 GTR at the time.

As time goes by that same money could buy me a 32 GTR with $5K left over now :thumbsup:

all good points ... still if you badge your car as something else other than it is, then be prepared to have fun made of you.

If you can handle being ridiculed and living a lie ... then all power to you.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
