Now firstly, this thread is not meant to disrespect anyone but more so to hear everyone's take on this issue.

It's becoming way too often that I see, GTS's and GTS-T's wearing the GT-R badge in a way that it just makes me wonder why aren't they proud of what they got and seriously... do they think everyone are that clueless?

For example, I drive a fairly heavily-modified R33 GTS-T - I think I can either beat a stock GT-R or at least keep up to it so why should I even try to badge my car as a GT-R? I'm proud of what I got and wouldn't have it any other way. If I wanted a GT-R and can afford one etc, I would gladly go and buy a GT-R instead of rebadging my GTS-T as a GT-R. I mean, how silly would it be if someone asks... "hey mate, nice car but is it a real GT-R?" If one answers yeah mate, it is alright and then they person was to be a cluey bloke and picks out things to the contrary e.g. no pumped guards, no brembo caliper brakes, no GT-R genuine front lip etc, then wouldn't I look like a total dick? On the otherhand, if I sayd yes and he fell for it, that's the same thing as saying I'm not proud of what I got but am gladly to fake it anyways! I'm confused.

I mean, I have no issues with GTS-T's and GTS's putting on GT-R frontbars, sideskirts etc as the look is nice, but badging it as a GT-R - I think this is pushing the line a bit, your thoughts on this?? How many "Mock Ups" have you soon around lately??

I was considering going the other way and running a GTS-t sticker on the bootlid of our racecar...as ive removed all badging off it...just to get one back for the GTR boys.

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
