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?

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
