Hey Guys, Always hated the big Hamburger on the front of my 370GT.

Swapping to Infiniti badging doesn't appeal to me either.

So, I did this.

Basically I modified the Nissan Hamburger.

I used a boot emblem & stacked it.

Cheers.

Yes, I do to,

was actually tossing up between emblem less & modding the Emblem..

Great work modding the emblem. In my opinion I would stick with the Nissan / Infiti logo or have no emblem at all... Your car is stunning and I feel this custom emblem devalues it by "tarting it up" unnecessarily...

Part of the reason for modding just the emblem was its 100% reversible.

As it stands, the grille is coated in Plastidip, easy peel off & back to chrome.

Emblem is in Epoxy, but is a simple replace with a new Nissan item.

You'd be surprised how good it looks in the flesh btw.

The alternative of going emblem less (which I was also tossing up between) is not reversible however, as it involves fiberglassing in the missing sections of grille from behind the badge.

Just something different, might keep it like this for a while, or maybe not, we'll see.

Unfortunately I'm cursed with a big dislike of the original grille emblem & dont particularly care for the toffy nosed infiniti badging.

Imo even a grille with a hole in it would be preferable.

Cheers.

There is a US website that made customer grilles, lips, spoilers, etc for G35/G37's.. I can't remember for the life of me what it was right now.. but if I come across it again I'll post it up in here..

Perhaps someone else may know the site I'm talking about (not outcast btw), they do a lot of carbon stuff as well (pricey, but look to be good quality).

Anyway I'll get back to you if I find it again :)

  • 2 weeks later...

A grille with the skyline "S" logo like the older models wouldnt look bad in my opinion. Provided it wasn't overly large and gaudy looking...

Either that or perhaps "Skyline" or 370GT located on the lower right hand side of the grille Hakosuka style

After 3 weeks my modded emblem sh1ts me now.

Its just to friggin big.

Part of the problem with the hamburger originally was its obese size.

I like the idea of the 370gt on the side Bliksem.

When I get a chance I'll re-do it as emblem-less & maybe try a side emblem.

All good fun.

Cheers.

yeah if you could do an embless-less grille, i'll debadge my whole car and not worry about this half half infiniti nissan badging i got going on lol

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
