Every since i bought my car about 5 weeks ago, there has been an infuriating rattle in my drivers side door...so this afternoon i started taking the trim off to see what was goin on in there, expecting maybe the power window motor or something like that to be be loose.... BUT

Just as i was pulling the bottom of the trim away from the door guess what falls out.... a GT badge, one that goes on each side of the car.. I went to check if mine was in place but then i thought even if it fell off, how could it get INSIDE the door trim! *WTF* anyway that was a dumb moment...

Anyone got any ideas on how this could happen? wierd...maybe nissan stuck a spare badge in every door lol...

LOL so i guess im not alone in my findings...i thought it was just me!

So, i guess its time for everyone to remove their drivers door trim and check it out!!!!!!!

If anyone needs a spare badge and wants to buy the one i found, make an offer...i will only sell if its a good one, cuz otherwise ill keep my finding in case someone badges my car

I wonder what to pull apart next...

but still, noone has an explanation of HOW things get in there!!

(apart from those XXX videos, might be a good (or ONLY) hiding place from the gf...)

I heard somewhere that the japanese drifters keep various items hidden in their car as good luck charms. I have absolutely no idea as to the validity of this claim, but perhaps this explains your mysterious GT badges...

sure they just weren't placed in their during shipping to ensure they weren't stolen? the guy at the other end didn't realise thats where they were and DID think they were stolen, and stuck some new ones on there?? :D there could be a whole story attached to this one little badge you never know :P

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
