Hi guys i have a question about removing the 'Nissan' and 'GTS-T' off the back of my R32 but they arent badges they are just like a sticker. I know there are other topics about removing adhesive badges etc but not sure about this. Pics are there feel free to redirect me to another topic.

Cheers

BG

Hair dryers will heat the plastic and soften the glue, should just peel off, then just clean with tar and grease remover or prepsol.

He was talking bout the stickers at the rear

anyway I used methylated spirit to remove mine,

if that doesn't work then turpentine will do the trick

MLR is correct. Hair dryer to warm it up and then use your fingernails to take them off. It really is the same method as taking any sticker/badge off of the car. Be warned though, the paint underneath the sticker may be a different shade than the rest of the car and will stand out, especially if your cars paint is pretty old and sun damaged.

a good cut and polish should fix that right up

yes in some cases, but most skylines have old paint and you can only cut and polish it out so much. Most times you need to paint.

its true

my car was debadged completely when i got it sprayed.

much better imo

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
