Well funky brings me to my next thought.  If you say take your badges off your GTR, what happens then?  Does it become a GTSt4 or something crazy???

IM REALLY CONFUSSUSED!

um, you have a GTR with a wierd patch in your clear coat? is this a trick question?

I've got hi-res pics, but I cbf hostin it and linking it lol. oh and if numberplates need to be edited out, please do so.

you guys need to get over yourselves and the whole GTR craze.

just because someone wants to put a GTR badge on their car (or leave it on since they bought it that way) is up to them and not upto you.

Basically the way I see it is blatent dissrespect which to me isnt acceptable to anyones ride no matter what they have chosen to do with it, its up to THEM, not YOU.

Im sure theres plenty of shit on your cars other people wouldnt like, yet they keep it to themselves, why dont some of you try practicing the same.

what about people that put stickers on their car like Gready apexi trust HKS etc even though they dont have any on those brand named parts in their car ????

Well as the saying goes thats a shopping list. When you get these items you tick them off, or cross them off, just like a shopping list! So when you see a car with a big list, you know its slow, unless all the items are crossed off :rofl:

But how about this one! GTSt4 with full gtr running gear, and say they had a bingle, and replaced the guards with GTR ones... and they put badges on it? Then its really a GTR, just with a different plate on it isnt it? Hell lets go all out and say they put in all the interior too! 99% of people wouldnt know the difference, so is that stupid?

This car is from the sunshine coast the plates stand for (SIZZLA) and it doesnt have a gtr engine but it has run a 13 or 14 quarter. its only a gtst. still no need for the gtr badge!

I just don't quite understand it.. it's not adding to the car, it's not impressing anybody that I've ever met.. and often they are nice cars in their own right.. but I don't quite see why.. they even cost money to buy.

Agree, Can not stand people that put GTR badges on their GTST's. OK it’s as fast as a GTR, but their is no need for the badge. Every time I see that, which has been more then I’d like. I just think you’re a lllooossseeerrrr.

I would rather have a scratch on my front bar then put a GTR badge over it. Be proud of the GTST you have it a sick care. Yeah the GTR is the ultimate car to have but unless it was budged a GTR from factory I’m SORRY IT AINT.

That’s my 2 cents.

Has anyone on this forum got a GTR that is still original as it rolled off the factory floor in japan?Is a GTR still a GTR if it has aftermarket wheels,tyres, exhaust,computer,boost controller,turbos,manifolds,suspension,gauges,sound system,pistons,cams,valves,valve springs,clutchs,seats etc. etc.?

and there is always one who misses the point :)

It has got nothing to do with the visual appeal of someones car or lack thereof, it is about people lieing about what their car is.

Yes it is up to them what goes on their car and I am sure there are people that think my car looks like a POS, but you know what? I am not going around claiming that my car is something that it's not.

There are even threads in this very forum about people trying to sell GTST's as GTR's with a price point to match. And if this thread does nothing more than make people aware that there are con artists out there, who claim things are what they are not and to take care when looking at purchasing a skyline, then that is a good thing!

Umm, I stuck a GTR badge on my Computer Monitor at work so that I felt closer to my car (it is currently 1600kms away) is that Shameful, if so, I will take a pic and post it up!!!

:)

That just shows the down right dedecation and love that you have for your car.

No shame in that at all.

Thats just like putting a photo of your family or kids on your desk, your just a proud man and theres nothing wrong with that. :)

picture anyway.

say you have a dead RB26 engine....and you can't affod to buy another engine and your mate were like donating an RB25 to fit into your GTR..and you agreed to do so.

what would you call that one ? still a GTR ?

The answer to that one is YES!

It would be a SHAMER to call it Godzilla though.

The facts are.

1. A GTR is a GTR. You can never change that.

2. A GTST may go as quick with some mods but no matter what you do is still a GTST.

If you have a quick GTST, don't be ashamed, you have a beautiful vehicle. Be happy with what you have.

If you have a slow GTR, don't be ashamed, you have a beautiful vehicle. Be happy with what you have.

Don't pretend to own what you want.

The SPIRIT of the GTR is in the car. You could take a normal GTR and change all the guards, change the engine, mags, bodykit, lights and interior and it is still a GTR coz it still has the spirit of a GTR.

Can anyone wear your clothes, hat, shoes and claim to be you. NO!

I would rather have a GTR killing GTST and say that it is a GTST then have a GTR badge and a hell of a lot higher expectation from spectators and racers.

When you slap that badge on, you raise the bar for your car and it suddenly goes from an awesome GTST to a moderate FAKE GTR that everyone and his dog knows is a fake.

LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE GTR!!!!

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By sinn3r · Posted

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
