Hi guys, as the title suggests, I noticed the rear GTR badge on my R33 GTR was recently vandalised or something so it's a little damaged so I am thinking about replacing it with another GTR badge from another generation of GTR's.

I don't like the rear R32 GTR badge as it looks a little small, the R33 GTR one is of course designed for the R33 but I was thinking of perhaps changing it up and going with a GTR badge from either the R34 or R35. Has anyone done this and any photos? I'm not trying to turn my R33 GTR into a R34 or R35 (nor would I want to) but just thought I'd be nice to swap the rear GTR badge seeing it's damaged anyway.

Thanks guys.

R32 GT-R is curved slightly to go with the boot. It's also colour coded.

The R33/R34 I assume are the plain ones, I got a cheap plastic one off ebay for a couple of bucks (still somewhere in the garage). They're aren't curved so won't sit on the R32 boot properly (assuming the cheap one I have is like the genuine thing).

Thanks mate. I'm assuming you know I was referring to what would look OK on my R33 GTR. I agree with you though, the R32 GTR badge is a little curved to suit the R32's boot so would probably look funny on a R33. Perhaps the same can be said about the R35 badge so I'm leaning towards either stick with another R33 GTR badge or try the R34 one as they booth look somewhat similar.

I am sure that Tim will be able to make a high quality badge for you. He is creating some items for me and I have seen some of the items he has produced for other SAU people and they look fantastic.

Hey mate, Tim's work is obvious of high quality but I'm not after anything custom or aftermarket want the genuine stuff but wouldn't mind some thoughts on which type may be an alternative.

Cheers

I have an R35 GTR badge on my 32 GTR Boot lid.

I chose this emblem as it's modernised.

My 32 is not OEM colour or OEM looking so the choice for me was easy.

Your choice I feel is to stay period correct or to be different.

34 or 35. Personally I'd go 35. (I did :yes:)

Please post a photo? I'm tempted. :rolleyes:

Just checking the badges on the cars above and the white 32 looks to have the 35 badge on.

Looking at the bottom of the R to make that call.

nope different, middle line of the R on 32 is joined, whereas R35 one in the middle is pointed

    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
    • F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE    
    • I actually have an aftermarket hanger, the detschwerks x1 hanger, but my dw420 has never really sat in it correctly, good to know I can just modify it a bit to suit. Yeah cheers man will definitely have a play with it and hope it solves my dramas.
