does this also apply for stuck on badge emblems? I have the chrome SKYLINE lettering stuck to my stock rear bar and want to get them off to put them on my new nismo rear bar as Its already got the engraving on it. Do I just heat up the glue and then it will be easier to take off?

Yep, that'll do the trick. Heat it up alot, just careful you don't heat up the plastic too much or the paint. Slow and steady's the way to go. Take your time.

I used a hair dryer to debadge my car and the g/f's car. Then I used a bit of metho on a rag to remove any left over bits and pieces of sticky gunk (rinsed off with water after ofcourse).

If its just the glue you want to take off then Jeff used his buffer and got rid of his GTS25-T sticker on the back of his 33.

Not too sur about vinyl but hair dryer sounds like a great idea.

Hey c'towners,

Does anybody know the best way to remove vinyls from car bodies???

Please pm me if you know how, as i want mine removed, its annoying me

All of the above works but if you have any residue left on the car or you find the vinyl stickers are old and are coming of in very annoying little pieces then go to your local panel beater/spray painter (someone you trust) and ask them if they have a "caramel wheel" - it's a rubber drill attachment and smells like caramel but gets your vinyl stickers off really quick and safely! I have a friend who's a spray painter and he removed mine and you can't see where the stickers were at all..... good luck! :rolleyes:

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
