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

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
