I have used the hair dryer before, and it can work on newer stickers. For others you can try Desolve-it or prepsol.

I have taken off my nissan and GTS-t stickers off the bootlid of mine but there is still one 'powered by' above the nissan one that i took off. i think it has a clear coat over it and will need a respray when i take my wing off and get the lid fully sprayed....

Yeah the hair dryer work for some stickers.

I tried taking these metallic stickers that has been on my car for 2 years now and the heat is not working.

The stickers seems to be dried up and when I go to peel it just crack/flake off and it has been a BI7CH trying to get it off. I only taken a few off so far. Still have about 60 little checkers shits to peel off slowly. Maybe one a day and I will get there eventually hehe.

Ok I used to do this for a living.

No comment on if they are painted over with clear coat (good luck). Yes a hair dryer lightly to pull newer ones off but if they keep breaking, and the older they are the smaller the bits they will break into, you need a blade. you can usually get a pack of different blades from a $2 shop or a hardware shop. You use them like a paint scraper.

You'll be left with bits of glue which you use prepsol to remove with a rag.

It's sort of easy and hard at the same time. Easy to do but easy to **** up. Just take it slow and you probably wont put a single nick in your paintwork, the only problem you'll have is that the paint underneath will be a little lighter in colour.

OK this is really wierd. Same set of stickers on both sides of the car but one side there's topcoat on top of the damn stickers. I used the hairdryer method for all other stickers and they've all come off nicely, cheers guys. It's just three big stickers down one side that are under the clearcoat now.

NOW: IF I wanted to take these off what can I do? Get any old body shop to sand and then respray the entire rear 1/4 panel? How much would I be looking at for this? About $400?

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
