ok here is a pic of the front of my car, it looks really bad with 2 badges and i have no idea why they would be put on there in the first place

the car was imported from japan so im guess its another japenese way of logic or maybe my care was put together from spare parts, either way who really cares!

how the hell do i take the chrome one off the bonnet? can i do it myself? if not where should i take it and how much would it cost to get it taken off properly?

i dont want to phuck up the duco

i cant take the red one off the grill because if i do there will still be the "mark" where the badge should have been.

any help would be great for this very strange problem of mine

There are no holes...

Use a hair dryer... heat it up a little bit... and pry the thing off. It takes time.

Afterwards use a bit of methylated spirits on a rag to clean all the gooey gunk off the paint, then polish her up a little bit with some polish.

Easy as.

I have the same black grill on my White S2 33, I reckon it looks heaps better. Loose the chromie!!!!

wow thats a first or should i say second i agree with you it looks quite nice

as for it being a series 1 well i cant say i have seen it on a series 1 most s1 grills i have seen have either the lines/fin things or they have had the whole thing removed, the series 1 didnt have a chrome badge on the bonnet?

What front bar is this? GTR?

I am looking to change the front on my s2 as it's got a couple of cracks, and i love the look of this one, but am unsure what it is.

Yes that's a GTR bar.

And yes series 2 came out with 2 grilles one colour coded low style grille (the common one) and one straight black with badge.

Yep, Factory Option for series 2's

The standard body colour grills have the emblem on the bonnet

The balck optional grills have no emblem on the bonnet.

Your car will have had the optional grill fitted at a later date hence the two emblems.

The Black grill is an aftermarket product sold in japan that can be bought for s1's or s2's. The chrome badge is the standard s2 badge which all s2's have from factory. So the chrome badge was never added to your car, the red one was.

I am fairly sure that all series 2's had the chrome bonnet S standard. The grille is an option, It should be available from Nissan, be expected to pay $500 plus for it new, could be closer to $1000 from memory actually. My mates S2 was badged by some maggots and they took the Red S off this grille and he couldn't replace it as the grille is technically one piece.

There is a very similar Series 1 grille but the lower corners are rounded which suits the Series 1 lights better.

The grille can be removed and the plastec part painted, as far as I know they are all grey, so they can be colour coded.

The Grille is metal that's been plastic dipped and on a lot of them that I have seen the plastic is flaking off. I have just used the angle grinder with a wire brush attached to remove the black plastic. I will now get it sand blasted and powdercoated which will stand up to stone chips etc much better.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
