I am looking to debadge the skyline letters from my car, I've heard horror stories of ghosting of text after removal. Going to use normal method of hair dryer and floss. Anyone had ghosting or ripping off paint problems before kinda nervous now to remove the letters

Mine's debadged and yes under certain angles you can just slightly see the Skyline and the Nissan Logo.

Anyone know how to get rid of that?

respray, or park it in the sun for a long time.

Not much you can do, the paint under the badges hasn't been exposed to the sun/elements, so it isn't as damaged/faded.

You can try a light cut/polish/wax, but chances are you will still see it a bit.

What's the worse that's gonna happen?

You have to put the badges back on.

Do it like the previous owner of my V, looks like he used a chisel and attacked the rear Nissan badge leaving a massive & deep scratch up the middle of the boot?

No idea how it was done. I just know that the boot lid is absolutely clean, blemish and pin-dent free. No sign of a respray (nor should there be as it was a grade 5A). Not a single badge or sticker anywhere on the rear.

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
