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.

No, it's alright here. It interests me and 99% of sale posts are for hair dryers etc :P 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: :D

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...

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 :P) 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...

although, i did manage to find this one...

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.

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.

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!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
