explain baked on? as in it was a normal sticker which was put on the duco and then through heat from the sun is stuck on?

if thats the case, use a hair dryer to heat the sticker up and make it plyable. then using a rag, rub hard and break the sticker up, then using a cutting paste, cut and polish the area to remove the sticky residue.

Yeah pretty much as you said cheez... normal sticker gone hard over time due to nature.

Thanks cheez, ive heard that before I will try it, needed someone to reafirm my ideas, cool.

get a hair dryer.... heat over the sticker for a couple of minutes... then buy yourself a bottle of Eucoliptous oil (hope I spent it right) and with a small tower... start to crub it off slowly - it will come off!!

Like they said use some heat, but I prefer to use a toffee wheel to remove the glue, its a rubber wheel that fixes to a drill, use it on a slow high torque setting and it takes it off with out using sometimes dangerous chemicals, really really good product!!

Your find them on ebay:

step 1,,,,,,,,borrow a heat gun, apply heat, not to close, then start to peel with your nail, if you know any panel beaters,painters or house painters, they will have one, or buy cheap one from bunnings,

step 2,,,,,,use a wax and grease remover to remove the glue thats left on panel,

step 3,,,,,,polish, as will be a shade diffrence around where sticker was,

step 4,,,,go into panel shop, get them to do it, a sat morning best and slip them 10 bucks, only takes 5 mins to do if you have correct tools

then buy yourself a bottle of Eucoliptous oil (hope I spent it right) and with a small tower... start to crub it off slowly

thats some shithouse english right there....

seriously though, ive used a razorblade to do it many times and it works a treat. i know it sounds dodgy but if u have half a clue as to what you are doing you will easily be able to take off the adhesive without scratching the crap out of your paint

that sucks. i used to be a detailer for about 4 years. the way we used to do it is with a heat gun then peel it off in sections. use a bit of preptone or prepsol. then cut and polish it. if its baked on, trust me when i say your always gonna see where the sticker was on your duco

good luck

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
