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

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree.
