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.

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
