I found 11mm from the bottom of the bootlid

and 25mm to the bottom corner of the R to the edge of the bootlid

and 30mm to the top corner of the T to the edge of the bootlid

The vspec/vspec II stickers sit vertically within the right, right side tail light (the bigger one, if u drew imaginary lines straigt down) a little closer to the right side

So what I did with the V-Spec sticker was it came with a marking arrow, and I lined that up to the center of the bigger tail light. I hope this is the correct way.

Forigive my shitty paint skills but this will explain what i mean a bit better

you might have to save this image and zoom right in to see it better

I think I get what you mean with the GT-R Badge. Will work on that next.

I've found the factory brochure photos which show the V-Spec and V-Spec II decal locations. Looks like they should be sit fairly central within the right, right side larger tail light as mentioned above however the V-Spec decal marking arrow appears to line up to the centre of the larger right taillight and the V-Spec II decal marking arrow appears to line up to the right hand edge of the inner circle of the larger right taillight. So that said you shouldn't line up the V-Spec II marking arrow centrally with the taillight as it will make the decal sit too far to the left, I've seen a few photos on google where it looks like this is what people have incorrectly done. Check out my attached photos which probably show it better.

A lot of genuine Toyota badges come with an alignment cut out.

Looking at the photos that dark-knight uploaded, it looks like theres also an alignment arrow.

Someone with more knowledge may be able to confirm this.

Yes both the V-Spec and V-Spec II decals have alignment arrows (I called them marking arrows in my above post). The yellow line in each of the photos is where I believe the arrow should line up with.

Also worth noting there is an upper and lower "ridge" on the rear bar, the decal should be positioned evenly between these two "ridges" as shown in attached photo.

Sorry to hijack this thread - but how do you guys feel about putting a R34 GTR badge on a R33 GTR? My R33 GTR badge got damaged recently so wouldn't mind trying something new.

Pro:-

* It's a more modern look of sorts

* It'll stand out more

Con:-

* GT-R owners will know

* Some GT-R owners will shake their heads

* A keen buyer might think that the rear has been damaged at some point in time

Thanks

Thanks mate - well, I decided to go ahead with it anyway and the badge is on there...looks very nice in my opinion but I noticed 2 things about it...

1) the r34 GTR badge is a little smaller that the R33 one

2) The red painted area is more dark and bloodish red so looks a bit different

Therefore to make the badge look more proportional on what is a slightly bigger bootlid area on my R33 I had to move it up a bit from the bottom and slightly more towards the left but looks good in my opinion so no no worries there...I suppose it's still putting a GTR badge on a GTR so I won't be hung for treason! lol also, they look quite similar anyway

    • 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.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
