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

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.

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

blues are for NA and reds are for turbo just in case u din know :)

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... :)

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
