Why Do People Get All Butthurt When They See Or Hear Someone Who Puts On A Gtr Badge


Recommended Posts

I bet ya don't see VLs with Nissan badges :)

Well I dont think anyone really aspires to owning a Nissan. A GTR maybe and some of 4WD types like the Patrol but the Nissan badge itself, na. Far too many cod ordinary cars over too many years to establish any of the things the marketing types like to think the "brand" represents.

If you dont believe me check the number of GTR's with the Nissan badges removed....

I know I laugh at V6 commonwhores with chev badges, but chev badge on a chev powered car personally I have no issues with cause that is basically what it is

If you ever went to the middle East then you'd laugh a whole lot then, as the commodore is sold there as a Chev, not a holden.

Probably trying to avoid unwanted attention (every knucklehead trying to race them)

I've had my 32 since 2002 and I've had all manner of shit box try and race me, at one point I was going to put a GTS-4 badge on it but then I realised I should be proud of what my car is and just give the wannabes the bird and move on with my day

There used to be a Vl non-turbo in Ballarat that had one of those massive nismo front windscreen sticker/decal on the bonnet. :domokun:

Despite the usual hate on forums like this for local made stuff, the new stuff is actually very good for what it is. Certainly much better than what they are given credit for.

I have 2 Toyotas. :D

I also have Sony xplod stereo, may swap for jiz seat

Star wars ..Kinugawa turbo aren't even made In china you idiot...

Sorry they are made in Taiwan (like that makes it any better somehow), according to china taiwan is part of china and since im a chinese nationalist that supports the one-china policy Kinugawa is hence a chinese turbo, So please refrain from your insults Artz. Inb4 political debate.

Furthermore there has been a thread about these turbo's on SAU somewhere, where a vendor selling these turbo's has even expressed

concerns about sloppy quality control. Classic issue with parts come out of that region, the japanese got quality control down a decade ago

China and taiwan are still learning and catching up.

& the current VF commodore SS is sold as the Chevy SS in the states.

Haha yeah I'm shit stiring, my sister inlaw just bought a brand new SSV ute with the six speed manual and other then the shity clutch, I was quite impressed with how far they have come, my father inlaw has a 2002 SS ute and I think that is a massive POS

That shitty clutch is still light years ahead of the cable they were using even in the VS series. And the VU is regarded as one of the best looking commodore utes made. Try and pick up a VU maloo for cheap.

as in new holdens? Good?

They are cheaply made, they rattle left right and centre, and then they slap the price they do on them..

100k for a new GTS? get f**ked holden.

And they wonder why the factories are shutting down.

    • hey mate so i was in a similar position needing something better than oem for track but also wanting it to look the part, i went for APG APG Performance Brakes they are a solid price and i have had no issues with any of the components from them. the rotors and pads can be swapped out for all the usual brands just ensure you are getting the right sizes. i have just a front kit on my car. i would recommend upgrading to a bigger master cylinder as they are a bigger calliper so you can actually notice some increased braking performance 
    • Hi guys, I've just bit the bullet on a forged rebuild for my 25det looking at making 600rwhp with the built engine. Having always been a butthurt for big brakes, I'd like to upgrade the fronts. I have looked at a few different websites, not have really stood out to me. What are some good quality front brakes, are the Attkd ones any good?    Thanks. 
    • Went out for drive with Jackie for a while in the Mazda and whilst it was raining cats and dogs, the interior and boot are still nice and dry so the top and drains are working well to keep the elements out, winning 
    • And yes would be going to tomei Japan for sure as it’s closer to me … 
    • Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong.
