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 :(

imho BADGES ARE GHEY. rip em off and keep people guessing. if u love your GTR badge so much turn it into a belt buckle or stick it on toolbox.

hey thats an idea....and an interesting bday pressie

out of the topic, how much is a geniune GTR badge, i know for fact that KPGC10 badges go for alot, but seriously. Dont take it the wrong way though, i dont badge cars nor do i dress em up.

Know what, how bout badging your GTR with the old skool GTR badges, they look nice.

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.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
