A few weeks ago I had the local hand car wash wash my GTR....

when I got home I noticed the rear GTR badge red section (centre of the R) was bent and had a chunk of sponge under it.

So...I call the closest GTR dealer to organise a new badge

Me: I would like to order the rear GTR badge for my R35

Nissan: no problem...in stock in Melbourne...2 day delivery to Sydney

Me: OK..can I use my credit card to pay for it

Nissan: yes

Me: (reads out CC number)

Nissan: thankyou sir...will call you when it arrives

Me: Ok...BTW...how much are they

Nissan: four hundred and ninety two dollars and eighty cents

Me: OK...cancel that

Ok, I know that we pay a lot of "GTR tax" for parts but 500 bucks for plastic badge is stupid..

So. I got to Japanparts.com

http://www.japanpart...&maker=&VOLKEY=

About $100 each delivered...I ordered 2 and they arrived today...genuine Nissan

I have purchased a few parts in the last few years from Japanparts...recommend them.

thanks very handy, what do ppl think about gtr badges on gtst :P

I saw coppers writing up a ticket for a GTST parked in a loading zone outside Coles in Diamond Creek one night. It was after hours and a place where everyone parks, so I thought it was a bit tough.

Then I saw it had a GTR badge on it so I told them to book him twice.

you think thats bad the spec v brake pads are priced at $36,000AUD off memory lmao

I find that very hard to believe.

Maybe for a complete brake set, ie. discs, calipers, pads, lines, booster, pedal, ABS unit and so on. And even then I'd be surprised if all that was $36k.

I'm pretty sure that's the unbelievably expensive Carbon Ceramic option ON EDGE is referring to.

Wasn't the full set-up somewhere north of $60k? Everyone else seems to manange it for $20k to $40ish?

      Returning after a long time!

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
