An easy way to remove badges and stickers is to use a hairdryer... heat them up a little, then pull them off slowly. You then remove the residue with a little bit of methylated spirits, wash, then polish.

You won't be able to tell that the sticker was there in the first place unless your paint has faded noticeably (paint under the sticker will not have faded as much).

My R33 S1 didn't come with a sticker at the back but it came with a gold badge instead.

I guess it is not from the factory, but it gives it that little bit of prestige hehe.

Gold badge looks good on the blk line.

Coupe only got a sticker.... while 4door sedan gets the badge. Your gold one might be from the 4 door, either that or aftermarket gold one - cos on 4 door I've seen silver badge only not gold.

There's a way to remove sticker without marks is to clean it afterwards and buff it out, maybe cut and polish will do.  

Have you had an experienced panel beater have a look at your car? You might be surprised how easy they can spot and point out proof of respray on things that would normally be missed by common people like us... A panel beater showed the proof on mine, I was shocked as I never paid attention on that part until he pointed some little details of previous respray job. However he praised that it is a good quality repair, so it should be ok. :rofl:

Are you saying that every R33 that doesn't have a GTS-T sticker on the back has been resprayed or had an accident. That's a huge call mate I think your jumping to a conclusion. I guess theres other reasons why;

Maybe some didn't come out with them.

Maybe owners removed them.

Maybe stickers were an option when buying?

i was contemplating removing mine but if people are going to jump to the conclusion it has been resprayed or accident damage i might think again. I dont see how people can just automatically assume though if the car doesnt have a sticker its a repair job ???

I never concluded that way, I only ever said "could have been" resprayed, I never say that every R33 without boot sticker IS definitely 100% a respray. It suggest a possibility only. owners can remove them, but if people thinking towards respray then it is because of majority of cases are caused by respray - as people normally don't bother sourcing another sticker after respray. I don't think R33 came out of the factory without badges or boot sticker, it should be standard issue.

And to add to that... my car IS a respray job, and it does have stickers on.

even got the side Skyline strip which looks like an option in Japan that the resprayer even masked off, causing rough edges around the stripe sticker.

If you're in VIC and coming to any future cruises, I'll show you the respray job on my car. That is, if I haven't done another full respray on the car myself before we meet.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.

      Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
