cheers V35A wasn't sure if that would be sufficient, but now i think about it i had some led's stuck on with 3m before and went threw auto wash all the time and they stayed on.

@xntrq - some people just prefer the clean no badge look, I know if I owned a GTR I would keep all the badges etc, for me it depends on the vehicle as to wether I would keep them on or not. Every1 is different

sorry to hijack this thread.

I have had a look around on the forums (I do remember a post about it a while back but cant seem to find it anymore) but does anyone know where I could get the rear v35 badges locally (Sydney)? the full set.

Not sure about Sydney. Speak to Nuwan from IREV he's in Melbourne but he can get what you want shipped from Japan.

Not local to Sydney, but I see them pop up on ebay in USA often.. remember in USA it is 'cool' to rebadge an infiniti as a Nissan skyline!

The 350GT badge is often there. the 'SKYLINE' letters pop up a bit less often.

Just out of curiosity, I went lengths to rebadge my car. Why would you guys debadge it?

Good point, I have my 350GT fully debadged because i know that i am 1 of 3 V35 owners in my town so i guess it leaves people thinking "damn that's nice, but what is it?" that's my logic anyway. But same as what Joshua says if i had a R series skyline GTR i would leave it badged definitely.

Personally, I don't like the debadged look.. it makes me thing 'dodgy back yard repair job'. But some prefer the debadged look.

Just personal taste I guess.

I get that mentality too. Right now all i have on the rear is the 350GT and i get people ask me what car that is.

Yeah, i just have the front Nissan badge on for the time being until i order a black grill with no badge. It's funny seeing people overtake me and i see them staring at my car, then they get past me and do a 360 in their seat to look at the front badge haha.

^^ 360 degrees? havent seen that since 80's horror films

Ha reminds me of the xbox360 quote http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080814191737AAyxK2j

I can say Annabelle wasn't very bright...

Have you tried, I dunno, Nissan?

Give them your VIN and they can get you the badges... yes, all of them.

yeah the few I called weren't very helpful. The one dealer that had any inclination of getting them in said it would be approx $300!

Tried a couple of local import dealers today as well, none of them had any. So I guess i'm getting them from the US.

Nissan never have any idea about our cars that's why i don't even bother calling them. Last time i went there the head mechanic told me to go to the panel beaters to get my comp rod bushings changed... dafuq

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
