2 weeks ago some C$%T ripped the "S" off my car when i parked it at Monash uni... and as if that wasnt bad enough (ok $25 for a new one) on Saturday night another degernerate piece of bacteria stole the nissan badge from the boot... Now that one really pisses me off because i have a series 1 r33 and the badge matches the colour of the car.....

I just wanted to know how many of you out there have been subject to the same experience as me and if the rage i feel is natural. I have been deeply considering buying a nice powerful rifle, re-badging my car and waiting in a tree for a few nights to get me some retribution!!!!!

that sucks man - thats just one of many reasons why i dont like parking my car in any public car parks etc...

from your avatar it looks like your car is black - did you have a nissan boot key lock badge thing that was black and a clear coat over it like this one:

If so i sent that one back to Mark Gibbsons (?) panel house in queensland because it was the wrong one... he charged me $45 + $8 shipping for it, you can replace it yourself by taking the locking barrel out of your existing one and putting it in the new one...

I remember many moons ago, Honda badges were hot items for low life like this to rip off...a friend of mine had his Honda badge stolen and also his rear high wing spoiler ripped off the boot...leaving bumps on the boot uneven where the spoiler was. - was kind of funny thinkin back...

Some eeediot even took my woman's chrysler badge!?...loser of a low life dint even do a good job...only managed to rip 80% out and the rest are still stuck to the bonnet. If dipstick like that have half a brain, they would know a Chrysler badge is worth less than jelly beans.

I dont see the point of taking badges, they are worthless after u force it out and they cant reuse it anyway.. :D

See this thread on the info meshmesh gave me on how to replace it - its quite easy

Thanks for that i will definately have to do it soon, but i am considering leaving my car badgeless and getting a new front grill without the space for a badge, at least until i finish uni at the end of the year!

i would be happy to replace badges my car got keyed on every panel needs to be fully resprayed .how about a group buy on those high powered rifles. (evil laugh)

That is the worst thing i have ever heard.... i am again filled with merderous rage!

the optimist in me says : "at least now you have an excuse to paint it the colour you always wanted"

but yeah check this one out:

only $1,500 on GunBroker.com

Bad luck man, join the www.mybadgesgotstolenatMonashUni.com club.

Its really cool, i got to become a member a few months ago when some fu(k3r stolen my GT badges at clayton campus. :rofl:

well, i don't know if im trying to go one better, but i have NO badges AT ALL ! just the dirty outline and slight paint discolouration where they USED to be.... No 'S', no GT badges (probably the only ones i miss) and nothing on the back but the embossed section between the lights - Would've taken a big knife to get THAT mofo off !! :rofl:

(and BTW, im still looking for a set of the side GT badges, where do yous guys get them ?)

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
