Hey all

Some little wanker badged my Gtr last night on my 33. The rear one.

I've rung wreckers etc but most are $100+ if they have them at all.

I've checked out eBay, but some look really tacky. Can someone suggest some they have bought that look really good with perfect sizing?

Fkn pissed off right now.

Ahh sucks mate, that's always one thing I thought must be nerve wracking as a GTR owner. Did they at least do a good job of it, didn't damage the paint or anything?

Unfortunately I think if you are set on replacing it and going genuine then you're going to have to fork out for it :(

fatz was wrecking a whole R33 GTR wasn't he? PM him. It was front end damaged only.

JJ and Toy Shop and others in PI magazine may have a half cut with the badge still on?

Wreckers? Otherwise new from JJ already mentioned...

If you score, you just need double sided tape.

Considering now getting a GTR sticker made...

As ive been badged once in two weeks of owning it and last GTR was done twice.

Wonder what it would look like?

Person #1 looking at GTR Sticker:- "Why is there a sticker there? Shouldn't it be a badge?"

Person #2:- "Dunno. Maybe it's been debadged?"

Person #1:- "Geez, maybe it's been debadged many times?"

Person #2:- "Well if it has, I'd prefer to put the badge back on and get a different sticker for inside the car."

Person #1:- "Waddayamean?"

Person #2:- "Inside the windscreen, the sticker will say, 'This car is protected by shotgun 3 days a week - Guess WHICH DAY!'"

Person #2's 2c

This is on of the major reasons for me leaving my Rb26Dett powered GTS4 with stock blue GT badges and Nothing on the back to say otherwise.

Actaully on that notes....One of the GT badges were not stuck on when i got the car. it was in the glove box.

How are these put on from factory? double tape as terry sugessted?

As my garage is full at the moment my gtr is living in my driveway. My dog went off last night, so as usual i ran to the front to make sure my baby was ok (im paranoid even though i live in a good area).... no one was to be seen. After reading this thread, i just so happened to check out my badge on my way out of the office and noticed a scratch on paint leading up to the badge (very small) that looks like someone has tryed to pry it off with a screw driver. This was not there before and i saw kids walking the street a little earlier that night.

Note to self: Clear out garage and buy a gun.

Note to adz2332: Buy a dog.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
