Hey guys,

I've been really wanting to de-bagde my 34 for a while now. Just wanting to know if anyone has done this, and the best way of doing it?

Also just want to confirm both the nissan and the skyline badges are put on with double sided tape on all 34 gt-t's? No actual lettering has any holes behind them?

What would you do ??? Answer the poll :P

Cheers!!

Dunno about sedans, but coupe the Nissan and skyline badges are taped.

My old R34 had only the Nissan Badge at the back when I bought it, looked ok but always thought something was missing so I bought the nissan badging and looked much better.

But I must say, a debadged sedan looks very clean indeed

search the forum, most guys on here melt the glue by using a heat gun or hairdryer, and some fishing wire to pry the badge off. Then some cut and polish to remove any evidence of the badging

Previous owner didnt fully debadge the car..

But he just removed the 25GT badge on the back and replaced it with a NISMO one.

Looks clean ..

Was thinking of shaving the boot lid and doors, and removing the badges aswell.

Lemme' know how it goes.

Hey man, i've just done the same thing with my R34. Yes it is just stuck on. No hidden holes to worry about.

Here's a picture.

I'm still contemplating removing the Nissan badge but meh, i'll decide that later.

I want to remove my 25gt badge, but I was getting told that 'oh you know the paint will be faded or there will be a imprint' which kind of scared me. But looking at these cars it looks really clean, can you do it without a hair dryer and remove whatever is left with wax and grease remove?

ye mine had a nissan imprint from beneath it, just needed a good clean and it was all good.

use a heat gun, or a hairdryer to heat the spot up.

then get some hot water and pour it on the spot.(if you cant use a hairdryer, make sure you do this instead)

use some fishing line to work the glue.

a bit of bug and tar remover to remove the excess and its done.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
