kits and all are fine up to a point. as soon as the GTR badge hits the panels of a gtst its becomes sad. and there are soo many monkeys driving their badged up gtst thinking they are hot shit. i personally dont see the point in spending money making a slow car look fast. all these gtst getting around with 160rwkw looking plastic fantastic dressed with bodykits turns me off. next thing they pull up to you and turn up their subs till your car starts to shake. gay shit.

gtst with around 160 kw with body kits are very common, i dont get where your coming from dude? theres nothing wrong with that nor the subs.

this was about skylines trying to be GTRS (badges etc)

you pulled in front of him and did a burnout, to teach him a lesson for having an N/A?

you're right...you do need to be bashed

Sorry I'm late ppl but... ;)

The Chevy badge deal is an option available to Au buyers. Essentially no one outside Au has heard of Holden so the taxis are rebadged and sent to Saudi, UAE etc.

Badges...pfft. The R stands for Race as in Grand Touring-Race. If you've got a T that has a hot mill and sorted suspension put what ever badge you like on it. I dont care if some homeboy in a civic mistakes my R for a T. I bought it for me and if he want to gettem out and measure up thats fine...when the flag drops the bullsh!t stops :(

Justjap sell the fake one for $20, and the genuine one for $95

IIRC, the fake ones are just stuck on but the genuine ones have holes in the boot where the badge can be slotted in.

I think a lot of the confusion comes in because people don't understand what putting on a GTR (or Type R, or whatever) badge MEANS. It doesn't mean your car is capable of running x seconds down the quarter or doing a x:xx lap of QR, it doesn't mean it's as fast as or faster than a GTR. It means "this car is a GTR". If it didn't come out of the factory with a GTR build plate, then I'm sorry but it's not a GTR, and you're telling everyone your car is something it's not. Just because the performance may be equivalent is irrelevant - it's NOT a GTR unless that's how it left the factory, regardless of what mods you've done or how much GTR stuff you've bolted on.

Regardless, if someone wants to put a GTR badge on their car, who are we to tell them them they can't? It's their car, their money, and whatever they want to do with it is their business. I will still laugh though :)

A GTS-T will NEVER be a GTR, ever. Putting a GTR badge on it is sad :)

i agree.

a non-GTR Skyline should not carry the GTR badge. a GTS with a GTR badge is an affront to the nameplate. even if the GTS-t or GTS4 has been modified, it's not originally a GTR and lacks GTR build characteristics.

it's perfectly ok to modifiy a non-GTR Skyline "beyond" a GTR's original setup and performance traits as long as the car is presented under the moniker of it's original build. otherwise, it's a lie and a poseur. had i a GTS-t that ran low 11s and looked fly, say with an N1 kit or a 400R kit (in the case of an R33), i'd be proud that it was a GTS-t because it would be an example of what a lesser model is capable of.

but don't go putting GTR on the car. that is just gay.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
