Not sure if fishing......... You want a GT-R badge? Buy a GT-R. A GT-R spoiler I can live with as it's an aesthetic improvement, GT-R badge GTFO.

It is stupid, especially when you own a GTR and see a GTST or GTT with one. Its like the owner has a massive L tattooed to his forehead. They are tryhards, they should stick to the shopping list dow

semi related, but as a 34r owner i have to admit that when i see a bnr34 with a ztune kit, regardless be it genuine or non genuine parts i find it a bit "cheap"

reminds me of the days when every one wanted a evo body kit on their lancers....

I think front bar is fine, side skirts and rear pods - fine, front guards - to far

A GTT no t with a Z-Tune kit is the same as a lancer with an EVO kit, def not right

This thread is shite. Of course some ppl get pissed off for seeing gtr badge on non-gtr skyline, cause you're claiming cred that you haven't earned. Like if you claim holding a kickboxing title when all you've done is throw a few roundhouse kicks into the bag hanging in the garage, ppl will go 'piss off u wanker'. Same principle.

I mean it's their car, they can do anything legally to it if they wanted too, its not like they put on your number plate pretending to be you etc

How can a GTR badge hurt or offend anybody making people stupidly react as if they saw Obama make out with Putin in their homes.

You see Holdens put on Chevvy badges yet you don't see anyone complaining here, well not as much as people here seeing a GTR badge then rolling and crying as if its the end of the world.

It kind of makes me laugh to myself when i browse through past forums and seeing posts like "wow nice car man, oh i take it back when i saw the GTR badge" or "dude why put on a GTR badge thats stupid"

Well not as stupid as they making a big deal out of a nice looking car and creating a fuss around a tiny symbol that has nothing to do with them.

Makes me want to put a GTR badge on Corollas, Civics and of course Skylines just to piss off over reactive people lol.

You sound more "butthurt" than anyone. Your profile says you drive a GTT - I made the connection and think everybody else here did too. If you want a GTR, go buy a GTR, or stick to your GTT until you can afford a GTR. No biggie if you don't have one or can't afford one, just don't make yourself out to look like a wannabe tool. It makes all of the guys with real GTRs look like tools too. Likewise, blokes who drive around in Commodores with Chev badges cop it heaps. I don't know what gave you the impression that they didn't. It's the same logic for them but perhaps not as bad, because they're not putting a performance label on their cars, just another brand. The GTR badge has legendary status and personifies the pinnacle of Japanese performance motoring. It is probably the most renowned car to come out of Japan. To stick it on a $4000, P-Plate Skyline bucket with stickers all over it and drift toys hanging off the tow hook is a sin. The misfit deluded owners who do this should be shot or put through counselling and/or psychotherapy.

What would you think if you saw a Ferrari badge on a Hyundai and the Ferrari logo sprayed on its hubcaps? Would you laugh at the owner's poor taste, total lack of class, and disregard for 'doing up' their car in a 'socially acceptable' manner, or would you be like "nope, I have total 100% respect for this bloke and his 11.5 Kw Korean banger with Ferrari branding"?

I recall seeing someone done it already & he wanted ~$35 for that "thing"...

Laugh, the Ferrari or GTR badge is not a sacred thing in my opinion.

If you think it is..... you may need to carry anusol wipes when you go out. For your butthurt. :nyaanyaa:

Maybe respect the people who designed and made the GTR and not a logo.

Non GTR owner admiring his newly acquired fleabay fake GTR badge, given even the genuine badge was to much for them

At the end of the day it's not the GTR owners that are patheiticly trying to make their car look like something it's not

How is this not in the wasteland where it belongs

      Gran Turismo 7 Time trial

      By Rezz · Posted

      Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.

      I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!

      I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium

      It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
