Okay guys,

it is something that bothers us all as per Robin's post here

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=63254

and as per James suggestion in the same post, I have decided to start up a GTR Badge on a GTS/T Shame file.

Basically the way it goes is as you see these abominations around town or on another site, post the pic here for everyone to see.

Hopefully we can shame these people into removing the badge.

p.s to those who own a monster GTST that is as fast as a GTR or faster and think that gives them the right to have the badge, show some pride in your achievement. It is no small thing to get a GTST to be like that and you will get a lot more respect for it than whacking a dodgy badge on your car.

if I have have HCR on the chasis plate - is it a GTR?

if I have a GTR bodykit on my car - is it a GTR?

if I have a GTR badge on my car - is it a GTR?

if I have GTR rims on my car - is it a GTR?

if a GTR owner did a turd on my car - would it be a GTR?

I think you will find.. the resounding answer to all of these is, it's still not a GTR..

Even though these wouldn't make one's car a GTR, it's hardly a "Shame" to have these exterior improvements.

I think what he is saying that those people are using those add-on's as an excuse to put a GTR badge on their car, not that there is anything wrong with the add-on's themselves.

nexus that red one u posted a pic on i saw the other night in surfers he pulled up next to me and his mates go gtr and reved the engine but before i could even check to c f it was one they light had changed and they left lol.

Next time i c them im going to get in first

Chris it was a great idea to start the discusion regarding GTR badges i thought i was the only 1 who thought its just wrong and sad to put GTR badges on a GTST, ill have a camera with me from now on, so by the end of the week we'll need a new file server cause theres just so many fake GTR's around!

after driving along on a sunday i started to relize just how many fake GTR's there are, and some1 has to put a stop to this, its wrong! (thats why i started my thread)

either these badges are sold in bulk daily like bread or GTR owners around australia have had their badges taken.

I dont mind if the driver admits and says its a GTST but to carry on and make it as it actually is a GTR by having a bodykit, spoiler, engine or twin turbos...., its just wrong!

After i had an argument with some1 the other night regarding this i could not wait to get home and start this thread, this gtst owner put a twin turbo set up on his rb25, and him and his friends who had honestly no clue what a gtr is went along with it claiming if u add a twin turbo set up on a gtst the car magicly becomes a GTR, wow thats a nice trick, so i asked what u call a gtr with a single turbo conversion? a gtst i dont think so!

Please if u have GTR badges on your skylines i dont care but DONT claim and try to tell others its a GTR...! its not!

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
