Try a product called De-Solve It. It is a citrus smelling product which will actually desolve the sticker. I doubt it would damage your paint, but it would probably be worth checking first.

That's what I was on about!! De-solve it. Works well on sticky crap.

Ive tried that, sticky and smelly and prepsol still works better than it, plastic razor blade FTW

possiably try a hardware store for a plastic razor

Hi guys, this is the story i dont like the stickers they came with the car. Its a clear sticker looks like a expensive one, each corner is so tight its not funny. I've used.

Heatgun, wax & grease remover, and turps nothing works.

Nothing has happened to the paint yet but im not got to respray a whole guard over one sticker. There has to be a product on the market which can eat this away. No way can it come off like a normal sticker.

I've added the picture cause now, ive made it look like shit lol and need to take it off completly.

Please let me know anything, but im not using anything that could harm my paint. and please only tell me on your experience not just a theory you heard off someone lol.

Anyway i hope you guys can help me out. Thanks :wave:

go to a auto paint shop (dont go to supercheap or autobarn) ask them for a "caramal wheel" i got rid or stickers off the side of my last car in about 20 mins, a sticker that size should come off in about 1-2 min.

its a softrubber wheel that you attach to your drill so when u runn the wheel over your sticker it peels of the plastic coat and glue without marking the painted surface.

cost about 15 buck and is very effective.

good luck

Yeah man cut and polish should fix that easy, but try using some of those little 'magic eraser' sponges from a hardware show/supermarket first they are like a solid white foam block which get rid of glue residue pretty easy and wont screw up your paint.

Good luck :D

get something like this.

http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/a...ler/output_html

i use these heaps to get off old double sided tape or old stickers 10-20 years old.

just use it on a drill.

its rubbery/plastic, and it wont affect your paint, just dont sit it on the same spot for 20 minutes heh

you can definately get them from most sign places like "supply 1" at morningside. i cant seem to find it on their website though.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
