GTR Badge on GTS-T

I recently bought an R32 GTS-T, and the previous owner had put a GTR badge on it. I have to admit with the kit and spoiler it looks good however I'm riddled with guilt about its authenticity.

My dilemna is that the badge is stuck well on, and if I try to remove it I will damage the paintwork. Can anyone tell me what exactly is entailed in debadging a car?

use a hairdryer to soften the stickey stuf, then slide fishing line up and down behind it to dislodge the badge.

finally, use a credit card to wipe the excess goo off, then use a small bit of eucalyptus oil to get rid of the residue.

Only coz Jas once stuck a GTR badge on his hyundai and then people teased him he had to learn the hard way :-p

but yes he is right.... 10 points! I like the credit card bit! if only i thought of that instead of a knife when i debadged my VL commodore many years ago and made a few nics in the paint....

pauuly, youd be suprised who can be fooled.. most people dont know the difference between an R and a T. Only a real enthusiast woulud.

They just hear about R's and whenever they see skyline they often think its one of those GTR's.

Ive had a couple of people ask me about mine. *slap*

Ive seen a GTR badge on a EL falcon down rocko way. haha

      Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
