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?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      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)
