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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
