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!

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 :(

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).

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
