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!

  • 2 weeks later...

Okay mechanic has said there "was a delay in customs, so it won't take too much longer"

Ahh i wanted the car ready to take to powercruise 10 but meh, we'll see...hame

yeaha i know it been off the road over 2 months now, i am being as patient as possible, i'm dirving around the g/s's cousins little auto exel atm and its really startin to hurt me! lol (no offence to exel drivers) but i can't stand driving it around all the time although i appreciate having a run about for a month, just can't wait to get the skyline back n running!

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 :(

Ok guys, just got off the phone to the mechanic and all seems to be going ahead, he wants the car down there first thing tomorrow morning, so i have called around a few towing companies to find a guy in shailer park, price is $70? is that good, anyhow i really happy all is going ahead so car should be on the truck at 9:30am so the adventure is just about to begin. Will be seeing th front cut tomorro.

Hame :(

i seen a nissan pulsar cruising around my area with red and white skyline shields on, now that is wrong! :(

p.s. love the colour, would love to paint mine the new VE commodore purple

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).

nice... who's doing the work for you? (PM if you don't want to name the workshop)

$70? depends on the distance travelled of course!

Fighter JOE - yes please i'd love to see some pics of the fmic fitted into the front bar, see how mine may look.

Pal - yeaha i know someone who is painting a r33 the new VE pueple let me know if you want to see pics when it is all done! should look a treat!

Eug - i won't name the workshop just yet without permission, and as for the towing i was quoted 170, 160, 110, 75 (but that was for wednesday) n i want it done today rang one more guy who said 70 9:30am today so he should be here in 20 minz. (pm sent)

Hame!

    • 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.
