Some aboriginal (not being racist) offered me a "hot" BMW badge in the city last week. He was asking $15 - straight off an M3.

Seems like these days the GTR badge is hot property? Probably another GTS-T owner wanting it to make his a "GTR"... I'm seeing that more these days, too!

ask sinergy might be cheaper thats where i got my badges from and they were brand new and sealed.

Just gave em a buzz now,

awaiting for a callback with price. I've decided not to worry bout replacing the front badge cos it looks more kinda aggressive without, but any tips on removing the glue left behind without damaging paint? I'm assuming bug/tar remover will do the trick?

if that doesnt work, try a clay bar.

Wuld like to kno the same, im very interested. I cant stand the look of the keyhole without it, looks so cheap & violated.

it certainly does look a little cheap and crappy... not nice at all.

There was another thread about re-attaching the badge to the swivel, and someone posted that they successfully re attached it with a 'C' Clip of some sort... i cant see how thats going to work though...

looks like we're due for a completely new badge / barrel unit. :happy:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
