Authentic C110 Skyline GT-R badge FS

[Alfadog]

Guys,

Thought it were more appropriate to put this in here than the "For Sale" forum as a lot of you wouldn't look there! This is a genuine KPGC110 front grille badge from Japan, in as new condition.

If you're going to make a GT-R replica, this is for you.

I have to disagree,,,we have a "For Sale" section for a reason. I suggest you move it or lose it. Oh and please remove the e-bay link.

No, it's alright here. It interests me and 99% of sale posts are for hair dryers etc Way too expensive for one badge though! for me anyway :boohoo:

Perhaps a pointer in this forum to the for sale section would have been the go.

Stop livin' ya tag Neil, I'm older and GRUMPIER! :flamed:

Jim. :hippy:

Even thought its relevant, we don't really allow ebay links in the forsale section or any for sale threads. You're either selling it straight out or auctioning it...

[Alfadog]

I've put the ad in the appropriate section as Neil requested...

For 130 I thought was selling myself short. I'd like to know your source funkymonkey if you're offering - I'm still after a couple of bits! (no sarcasm here)

Now take into consideration this is local (no shipping risk), with high-detail shots so you know what you're getting (no box ) and I think you'll find the price is quite reasonable.

Alfadog... I usually source parts direct from japanese wreckers, and Yahoo auctions and maybe autobacs n other shops if its cheaper to buy directly.

The version I'm thinking of is the one with the GT-R side by side instead on top of each other...

like so...

Bargain Ken-Mary GTR badge set with GT badges n all... I can bid on it if anyone wants it. Small things like this I ship EMS, it can be insured, but its fully trackable for free.

only 5 hours left, better be quick. As I said, its a matter of looking around to snap up the bargains with these sorta things.

As it is if it dosen't go any higher it should cost about $60 to get to your door.

[Alfadog]

I saw those too - look to be in pretty poor condition though. I'm sending you a PM

[funkymonkey]

For those not willing to risk buying from overseas I reckon $130 is a good price considering they sell up to about $150 in japan.

Very nice gesture Funky. To get an idea, the first badge ..with the GT-R side by side, if sold would be about $90 Aussie. In your estimate what would it cost to get that to my door via monkey means? I'll add a pic of a coupla badges I do need if you ever stumble across them at the right price. Front guard "GT" badges in red for a real KPGC10. My car had them when sold at auction in Japan but all the badges had disappeared by the time it got to Australia. Unfortunately the wrong ones (from a later series ) have been stuck on since. The rear quarter badges, above them in the pic....I dunno. I'm still thinking about them. The car was rebuilt without them (no holes) and the car looks ok without them but........any opinions out there please?? Should I bother, I know it will never be a real '72 GT-R no matter how many original looking bits it gets, but I'm leaning towards making it LOOK as close as possible....Thanks Funky , thanks guys.

Jim.

[Alfadog]

Jim, I had always thought you were missing the C-pillar badges! I had forgotten all about those... indeed, the car doesn't look like it's missing anything without them. I do, however, think it would look better with them on. I think it's no badges, or all badges - no via media!

Here is an attachment of one with no badges - sexxxyyyy!
