a bit of fishing line and some 'bug/tar remover' to get rid of the adhesive and you should be fine.

Personally I don't like the debadged look, it makes me think 'dodgy backyard repair job', but each to their own. Certainly better than having badges in the wrong spots as I have seen on some cars.

I had my badges taken off when i had my boot resprayed from a scratch. At first i liked the debadged look but i kinda want the badges on again.

Problem is, im pretty anal about getting the badges back in the right spot and straight. There doesnt seem to be any information in regards to the exact positioning of the badges :ermm:

If you're going to remove the Skyline badge you may as well get rid of the 350GT i don't think the nissan badge and the 350gt badge without the skyline would look good at all. I prefer my car debadged front and rear, only because these are rare cars and not many people know what they are.

I have heard that if you de-bdage the big nissan badge on the boot, it leaves a mark?? Like a outline of the badge....

can anyone confirm this?

Depends on what color the car is, i have personally seen those outlines you talking about but it was on a Red v35 (very prone to fading) but other colors might be a different story.

doesn't bug/tar remover get rid of that residue? when i bought my car the previous owner looked like he literally attacked the rear nissan badge with a screw driver and left a long/deep scratch where it was.. got the boot resprayed the painted removed the other badges for me.

This is how mine looks, dirty with a boot lip too.

This is after a detail, since removing the skyline badging reveals slight indentations where the lettering used to be.

I used fishing line and bug and tar remover that was in a green spray bottle but never again because it slightly stained the paint, another reason why I had the car detailed.

I'm not talking about the glue residue, what I'm talking about is the slight indents the "NISSAN" badge will leave after removal.........

does anyone else have this issue after they debadged???

You can't really see it in the photo...so I guess a cut and polish helped you remove the indentations?

does it really leave 'indentations'? or is it just an outline because that part of the paint hasn't seen the sun over the last 10 years?

I wouldn't have thought Nissan would 'indent' the panel for the badges?

I definitely think it looks much cleaner without the skyline wording attached to the boot.

I will attempt to give it ago on a v36.

Anyone done one on a v36?

My V36 is debadged, both the nissan and skyline badges are gone.

Got mine off with a heat gun on very low to warm up the glue, then rubbing in small circles with a white cloth and some eucalyptus oil. (I stress white cloth as I used a green microfiber first and it actually transferred color into the paint - had to cut n polish it out with some pretty aggressive compound).

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
