Hey guys anyone know where i could find 1 Blue "GT" Badge (NA Skyline) and the "S" badge for the hood. Some a**h**** debadged my car today =(, just makes me think why in the world would they wanna do such a thing! I assume wreckers and Nissan would sell them (but for a higher price). How much do they roughly go for anyone know?

Any help would be much appreciated =)

Yeh I have the same problem, somebody depadged my red/white GT badge... Sad sad world! I found that just jap sold some, but at 50 bucks a badge... I also went to a panel beater to see how much it would cost to fill in the holes and repaint it... 900 bucks! Goes to show a new badge isnt that expensive afterall...

damn! $900! you could get heaps of badges for that! :D

but in a way it might be better having no/nearly no badges on your car so people stop friggin stealing them but then with that they will aim to steal something else... :P

Get the red ones. They look better. I have them on my car, they look much better then the blue ones. I didnt put them on, so you cant blame me :P And I dont think its the same as putting GT-R badges on it... Altho... Replace them with GT-R badges? :D

Well he has a bunch in a cabinet so I havn't held them to see if they are plastic with some silver coating or metal, for example.

It's in Carillon City same corridor thingo as Boost Juice. Frankee is a champ though he won't rip you off. Nice little one stop shop if your not into branded products, but I am so it's not my thing lol.

Yeh I know that Bernard, but mine came with the red ones when I bought it, and I think they look much better then the blue ones. I'm not hiding the fact that its NA, there are other things that give it away: The 4-stud rims, the lack of forced induction, the fact that i lose EVERY race... :)

My car got debadged last month, I ended up paying $50 for each badge (sides/front) from northside nissan. I found a better way to look at it is at least they didn't key the car or smash a window.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Your claim of "same turbo, same boost, same timing" is why I commented on it. You can't change how the exhaust flows, not alter the ignition or fuel map, and instantly say one is worse than the other, as one is likely now out of tune to the other.   While turbo lag isnt great, it's also not the whole picture. Nor would I say the factory manifold is the best for fluid dynamics. That and most GOOD aftermarket manifolds additionally aren't aimed at stock/small sized turbos, nor do most of the companies building them have a Great idea on fluid dynamics, they just understand and build to the same basic principles. Those aftermarket manufacturers also don't have epically huge budgets to go doing shit tonnes of R&D to get the best performing manifold.

      I've got a Nexus for one of my other cars and I was surprised how simple it is to use and seems like a good quality bit of gear. The tech support guys are good to chat with too.

      My point is more so focused on the division between cylinders 1 to 3 vs 4 to 6. Any low mount "bolt on" aftermarket manifold utilises an open T3 collector which has crap all scavenging effects. Sure it might allow you to slap in more timing up top to make a little more but you'll lose all the down low performance. Even Tao from @hyper-gear has experienced the same when modifying the stock manifold. He has experienced added lag by cutting out the divider inside vs. leaving it alone. Twin scroll works, even if the effort is focused primarily on the manifold and an open scroll turbine housing. Please don't confuse me with a V8 NA or Americans that thinks you need back pressure in a 4 stroke motor.

      I bought mine from Concept Z https://conceptzperformance.com/hks-stainless-steel-catback-exhaust-system-full-dual-muffler-infiniti-q60-coupe-17-cv37-awd-rwd-31014-kn001_p_32626.php Put it on myself. Very easy jack stands. But if i was going to do it again i would get something like this   https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-infiniti-infiniti-sport-exhaust-kit-axle-back-exhaust-system-infiniti-q60-17-coupe-cv37-b0100-q60st_p_30289.php Or just straight pipe it the whole way. I drove the car without an exhaust for shits and giggle when i was swapping it and it's not very loud at all.
