Hi guys, as the title suggests, I noticed the rear GTR badge on my R33 GTR was recently vandalised or something so it's a little damaged so I am thinking about replacing it with another GTR badge from another generation of GTR's.

I don't like the rear R32 GTR badge as it looks a little small, the R33 GTR one is of course designed for the R33 but I was thinking of perhaps changing it up and going with a GTR badge from either the R34 or R35. Has anyone done this and any photos? I'm not trying to turn my R33 GTR into a R34 or R35 (nor would I want to) but just thought I'd be nice to swap the rear GTR badge seeing it's damaged anyway.

Thanks guys.

R32 GT-R is curved slightly to go with the boot. It's also colour coded.

The R33/R34 I assume are the plain ones, I got a cheap plastic one off ebay for a couple of bucks (still somewhere in the garage). They're aren't curved so won't sit on the R32 boot properly (assuming the cheap one I have is like the genuine thing).

Thanks mate. I'm assuming you know I was referring to what would look OK on my R33 GTR. I agree with you though, the R32 GTR badge is a little curved to suit the R32's boot so would probably look funny on a R33. Perhaps the same can be said about the R35 badge so I'm leaning towards either stick with another R33 GTR badge or try the R34 one as they booth look somewhat similar.

I am sure that Tim will be able to make a high quality badge for you. He is creating some items for me and I have seen some of the items he has produced for other SAU people and they look fantastic.

Hey mate, Tim's work is obvious of high quality but I'm not after anything custom or aftermarket want the genuine stuff but wouldn't mind some thoughts on which type may be an alternative.

I have an R35 GTR badge on my 32 GTR Boot lid.

I chose this emblem as it's modernised.

My 32 is not OEM colour or OEM looking so the choice for me was easy.

Your choice I feel is to stay period correct or to be different.

34 or 35. Personally I'd go 35. (I did :yes:)

Just checking the badges on the cars above and the white 32 looks to have the 35 badge on.

Looking at the bottom of the R to make that call.

nope different, middle line of the R on 32 is joined, whereas R35 one in the middle is pointed

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
