well i have not just the GTS25 sticker, but a V-Spec sticker aswell! (someone thought they were cool in japan :P )

both are in pretty bad shape, best solution i think is to get them off completely, but just a question of how and what to use?

if anyone out there has done this (and im sure therel be someone) give us some advice on what to do and itl be much appreciated :D

As suggested above, probably use a hair-dryer as heat gun may cause your paint to crack if you aim and flame too long.

Then, get some polishing liquid and polish it until it blends in with the paint... then give it a good wash and you may find it's all gone.

Gotta say, the VSPEC looks pretty professionally put on - but I agree, gotta go as it's a bit 'try-hard.'

got stuck into it this afternoon and night. after 3hours of rubbing and peeling and polishing, final result is a faint outline of residue :D

upload pics again, as i get the time.

all i used was some eucalyptus oil and a slice off a blister pack (instead of fingernails hehe) mind you my hands are still fairly sore lol ><

after a polish she was beautiful. only had moderate success with the hairdryer.

UPDATE:

this is the finished result, after a cut and polish. the Vspec outline is still vaguely evident, but in real life just looking, you can hardly tell unless you get close in

decided to keep the GTS25 badge as it doesnt look half bad now without the other badge that was there

    • He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well. 
    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
