I got my 33 GTST back in Feb. Whoever had owned in Japan had done their best to make it look like a GT-R.

Of course the first thing I did before turning the key was to rip off the Grille badge.

I have since ordered some correct "T" badges from Just Jap.

With their impending arrival I need to know how to stick them on. The GTR badge was just stuck on with double sided tape. I'm not gonna do that so icoz I wanna do it properly. If anyone has any hints on how to attach the bonnet badge to a "T", lemme know.

What grill you got? If you have a GTR grill you can put it on, but you have to put something forward to stick on onto. I used bit of liquid nails, but friday night some jerk stole my "s"

so now there is a blob there and its hard to get off :P

I'd just use superglue if u have a normal grill, but it will mean you can't ever take it off without leaving a mark probably, and it can still still get ripped off unfortunately by whichever assholes are in the habbit of stealing such things.

Good on tho mate, now run along ya young scamp.

:lol:

Use double sided automotive tape.

All car badges are held on with it, it doesn't melt off in the heat, and you can guarantee that some prick will steal your badge one day, it's better to have it stuck there lightly, (as opposed to liquid nails) so they do less damage when they steal it...

If you stick it on the grille, and its ultra hard to remove, the person who tries to pinch it will crack the shits and just smash the grille to get it off.

I agree with R31 Skyline Chick 100%

There are some 'auto' grade double sided tapes that fix the plastic strips on the side of the cars. If these heavy strips don't fall off (most of them don't), then i am sure it can easily support your badge. You may need to go to a panel beater, as most of the commercial brands found at bunnings, k-mart, etc. are crap.

PS: Let me congratulate you on a very wise decision. Some gt-r copy kits look good, but to see the gt-r badge on a gts is just disapointing.

i fully agree with Al. Good on ya Wardest. Sick of GTR copy GTS-T's floating around.

Saw a beautiful 32 GTS-T in my town the other day. (only other 32 i've ever seen) Drove past it to take a better look but was disgusted at the try hard GTR badge stuck on the back. What are ppl thinking?

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
