Ok i have used fishing wire to debadge the stagea. I has tried to use grease and wax remover to get rid of the glue but still leaves the outline of the wording. What have you used in the past thatwill get rid of the glue and any marking from the lettering.

You could also try Mineral Turpentine on a rag and/or a very light polish as there will be a difference in the paintwork finish now where the badges have been...

+1 thats what i did.. just polished it up and it came up perfecto

It should be fine, although it will most likely strip the polish from the surface leaving you with a dull patch that you'll need to repolish.

It's not different from a bit of petrol running down the side of the car when you're filling the tank - I hate it when it does that!

Ok got all the glue off. Not I just have like a dirty outline of what used to be there. What would be the best grit sandpaper to remove this before I cut and polish. Would wet sanding be best

Just use a cutting compound, and keep going until you get the finish you're after. The clear coat on these is far too thin for wet sanding IMO.

+1 on the cutting compound and i wouldn't go near it with wet & dry either.

I'd also use a light hand when using the cutting compound and just take your time.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
