im proud of my blue and white badges!!!!!!!!!!

That's it.... I really have a lot of respect for people that are proud of their rides the way it was built - for what it is .... for e.g. , I drive a R33 GTS-Turbo - I have mates they have put GT-R badges on trying to be GT-R's .... silly!!! I love my car for what it is... a Skyline is a Skyline... e.g. if your ride is NA - it's a super nice NA car... a Skyline all the same.... no need to put a GT-Turbo badges if it's not a turbo... however, if you bought it this way then that's a different story...

But, if someone sees it and says... is it turbo - you say no, then they ask why do you have Red & White GT badges... this just makes you look silly... just my 2 cents.

respect is earnt, not given. you need to get your facts straight; there is no designation for red/white and blue/white badges for r33s.

r33 turbo models have red/white shields only.

r33 non-turbo (non type-s) have blue/white shields.

r33 non-turbo (type-s) have red/white sheilds.

some r32s have plain metal sheilds ones, some with red/white sheilds

not entirely sure on the r34s, there's so many variants ranging from GT-X, GT-4, GT-T, GT-25, etc.

i was under the impression that red/white meant turbo and blue/white meant n/a, well at least thats what every skyline i have seen to date has.

And for the record my R34 GT-four has blue/white gt badge :D

Well when i first gought my gts skyline with it was kitted and had the red/white shields on it, so i not really sure, but from what i know i thought red/white was turbo n blue/white was N/A however, i have seen a few different cars which prove this theroy wrong, does anybody know for sure??

My Front cut is in quarintine, and i should be recieving a call either today or tomorrow to organise the car to go in!

i'd say that when the person put the kit on your car they might of changed the badges aswell??

my bros gts has red/white but thats only there because a day before he was meant to pick the car from the dealer someone stole his badges haha, so the dealer replaced them with turbo items...

Just thought i would add my 2 cents on this.... my R33 GTS25 has red/white badges and no it's not because some tryhard put them on there, it's the way it came outa the factory, that guy further up the page who said about the type s= red/white and non type s=blue and white is onto it. i was trying to find out what the type s thing ment but then read earlier pages and the answer was there which seems to be true to my car so....

Have fun cutting away at your Tommy Kaira front bar to fit the FMIC in :)

and modifing the indicator mounting bracket (and cut away and plastic weld some of the back of the indicator that is not seen in my case)

good luck.

Yeah it'll be a bit of a job to get it in, but will look great once in and should be a tight fit i think! Have you seen many FMIC in the same front bar as i have? if anyone has any pics it would be good if you can post them:

UPDATE: tried contacting mechanic on 7th sept he wanted it in on the w/e to start, contacted sat n sun but hopefully today

(monday 10th it'll be going in) Hame :(

With modification it fits fine, I can post a couple pics of my car when I get time (same front but fitted with a FMIC).

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
