Chris, just for the record..

Is it a car your sharing with your brother bought by your parents?

Does the car really belong to you, or do you just drive it ocassionally?

Have you driven the car?

The reason I ask this is the names on the website dont match up with your profile thats all.

* gets popcorn and beer * :(

I would only stick stickers on my car if I received the sponsorship that goes with them....

Ask the professional racer if he would have his car covered in stickers if he didn't have to because of sponsorship.

Stickers are for the tool box... and for the people that want to be hassled by the police all the time.

Stickers are right up there with chrome wheels as a definite no no.

There is a Hyundai Tiburon in my home town that has all the HKS, BLITZ etc stickers from autobahn on the doors but has no turbo or any of them at brands at all and he obviously doesn't know people laugh at him every time they see him drive past. It also has to two N1 style mufflers, wing on the back (front wheel drive) and fake scoops in the bonnet and enough sub's to sink a fleet of ships and big chrome wheels and the only performance mods are exhaust and cold air intake and he's as happy as a pig in **** with his car..... go figure.

If I ever turn out like him please shoot me.... you'll be doing the world a favor.

lol at the conversation in here...

i, very unseriously, voted no as i'm wearing a nismo jacket as we speak/type and i don't have any nismo parts, let alone a car!

but seriously, if it's on the car, it implies that you have the part. with the general definition of rice being a modification to make your car look fast, as apposed from make it look good, a nismo sticker on the car is implying the false sense that it's fast.

fake stickers = the definition of rice :(

edit: nismo is probably a bad example of a 'fake' sticker, as nismo = nissan motorsport int.... a stock nissan can still go round a track. like a holden gts with a hsv sticker. replace nismo with apexi or hks or soemthing

i do have a small nismo sticker on the rear side windows tho, but i think it is ok cause it's tasteful, my japanese sticker is at the top of the windscreen......and no where near as big as knores

Personally I dont like having performance stickers all over my car, i prefer a nice simple and clean look.. besides i'm sure no one else needs to see what brand of parts i have on my car. Although i think my intercooler says my car means business :(

only sticker i'm putting on my car is the Skylines Australia sticker. I guess it's ok to put performance parts stickers on your car if you have the parts (and not just a turbo timer or whatever as Knore said) but if you don't have the parts, don't put on the stickers.

My 2 cents on the situation is that the only reason I don’t put some kind of stickers on my car (like on the paintwork) is for the fact that lets say after a year or half a year of some kind of sun exposure, paint fades over time and with different conditions so lets say I want to take my stickers off after a year then I find that I have darker paint under the sticker and the panel is lighter...guess what you have too do??....get that panel resprayed..Also I am a worried about the quality of stickers companies use!!..Will it be hard to remove the sticker or will it be easy after a couple of months etc. I would thoe put some stickers on possibly my sideskirts or something along those lines since a respray of those parts wouldn’t cost the world.

i have tein suspesnion on my skyline, came with a sticker pack, no way known im going to put them down my door or on my boot (even came with a badge!)

though i did stick a small sticker of the tein man on my 4wd :(

:(

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
