OK I don't know if this have ever been bought up before but I have to know..

Why do I see people with GTR badges on GTST's. I see it way to many times, you see a nice skyline start having a look at it and then BAM! it is ruined cause it has this GTR badge on it, IT DOESN'T NEED IT!!! Anyone who knows Skylines knows it's not a GTR and anyone who doesn't know Skylines doesn't know what a GTR is. I know this is a bit of a bitch but can some one please clear this up for me, why do people do this???? Oh and if you are one of the people that does this I am not having a go at you (well not much) I just don't understand it.

yeah i see it often, its just a dream or something i guess

people can have high hopes cant they? :P

hehe i pulled up next to a lancer today, guages everywhere, massive tacho, guages on the a piller, big zorst im thinking either one of two things,

1) evo engine conversion, 46g3 or whatever the engine is called and im thinking sweet should be a good challenege as most likely he hasnt ported across the 4wd running gear

2) its a stocker lancer and he thinks he has boost

take off, its an auto non turbo bozz

boo :)

evo's are 4G63

yeah i saw a "fake GTR" the other day. Saw it from behind, GTR badge, didn't catch a good look at the wheel guards, turned the corner, saw the R33 GTR badge on the front. hmm,, nice non-existant front mount intercooler!!!

who knows why people do it, who really cares!

I just laugh at people when i pull up beside them, and pretend not to look at me... hiding in shame...

It's a shame, coz they probably badge the GTR badges from someone elses car...

hell yeah......seen a few the last few days....as long as i see a fake gtr, i am ashamed of that car and the person! why try to be something your not?

a skyline is already a respected car by many people, putting a GTR badge just loses that respect...well to people who know skylines anywayz

actually saw one when i went to my car in the car park..i was like..WHOA...a GTR parked in front of me...i had a lookie abit and guages everywhere.. and i was like...WTF ...?? its a GTST...hmmm...unless it had a conversion.???

i dont get people with GTST and has GTR badge on it..maybe it's true..you get extra RWKW from the GTR badge.

but what i would like to know is...... would that make your car a 4WD too ?

I hate it when skyline pundits take it upon themselves to point out that I have a V-Spec II sticker on my N/A... for f**k sake, it says V-Selection II and it WAS an actual limited edition R32 N/A... they usually get very embarrased when I correct their corrections and tell em to jump on the skyline forums, coz they might learn something new :P

your guys are prob going to laugh at this question, but i dont know a lot about cars. I love my line and i wouldnt think about putting gtr badges on i when its not or any other stickers like nos and stuff on it.

But my question is how do u tell the diff between the gtr and gtst without looking at the engine. I guess the gtr intercooler would give it away but cant people just replace the intercooler in their gtst?. So what are the obvious signs becasue i c a gtr i automatically think it is a gtr. And i normially say swee gtr to them if i cat close so if its not a gtr i am going to feel like a tool now.

If you think a GTR badge on a GTS-T is bad I was coming through the Tulla/calder merge the other day and saw a Nissan pulsar NA ( au delivered ) with gauges, huge cannon, GTIR rear spoiler on the roof ( no bonnet scoop ) and a friggin GTR badge!

The tool had also placed GTI-R badging on the rear but not with the right badging but just generic lettering like he bought the alphabet of metal badges from bunnings or something.

I was in a truck and made a huge effort to get next to him to make eye contact so I could just laugh at him. Not sure if it was his exit but he turned off at the next one soon as I laughed at him.

The gtr front and rear guards are wider than the gtst. Get a gtr and gtst parked next to each other and you will see :P

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
