I had a company in the US called SpeedHut custom make me some gauges, they came out great, except for one thing. I requested that the custom GTR logo be put on the tach ONLY. This is a $25 option per gauge, and I have my invoice, I only paid once. So they made a mistake and put them on ALL of the gauges.

The tach, speedo, and boost gauge are all 80mm gauges. The smaller gauges are 52mm.

Should I send them back and get new ones the way I ordered? Or should I keep them? I'm on the fence, I like both ways, but some friends have told me it's "GTR overkill" and others have told me they really like it.

Opinions? I added a poll just to see what the overall thoughts are. Thanks!

not unless its genuine, its like having a 50" tv plasma and the badge "Sony" has been stuck on by kmart as a sticker

I disagree.. I would put that ^^ in similar to putting a chev badge on a holden.. But in this circumstance they are going into a GTR.. So they are for the car..

In terms of the logos.. depends what you think.. Alot of people arent going to notice all the logos as being overkill IMO.. When you focus on the guages by themselves like that in the box.. yeah can look like your trying to GTR it up on everything.. But if you didnt have it anywhere else in the car then it will look good i think.. But if you arent happy with the look, talk to them..

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
