Man that badge looks sweet.

yeah it certainly was. I finally got some time to get the car out and have a decent look and it's fixed itself, WTF? Oh well the only thing i was doing differently that day was it was bloody hot in stop and start traffic. But now it's running like a dream again. Oh well. Thanks anyway mate.

Alright guys, I was driving my car on the weekend and it was running fine, the boost is set to 14 psi. I pulled up at the lights, when i went to take off the car will not make over 8 psi of boost and when it gets to 8 psi the car runs like sh!t. Rpm still increases and the car will still accelerate (slowly) but it just will not go past 8 psi of boost. There was no pop, no bang, nothing. It was runnig great, I stoped at the lights, I took off, it now has issues. Has anyone had this before or has any ideas what's shagged? Any help would be great, thanks guys. The car is running an RB26 from an R33 and is stock as a rock.

Yeah this one was definatly way better, all the hosts have to do is relax. They just seemed to be trying to hard in the first couple of episodes.

Sweet! cheers mate.

hey nice job on the turbotimer mate, I was looking at doing the same thing with my boost controller which is pretty much the same size to the turbo timer. Was there much room behind your timer when you put it in? And did you just stick the fog light switch on the blank switch panel on the left of the steering wheel?

sorry mate i should've been clearer, it was faster than my gtr. It's even faster now because my gtr now resembles a crushed coke can. A hard lesson indeed. Actually it's not even a a lie, what's left of that car is still in the shed so i guess i still do own a gtr lol. After seeing what everyone else has said I may as well throw my 2 cents in since the title is "what's your opinion". If some kid wants to stick badges on his car he may as well. It'll never be a gtr but then again I doubt that anyone that would badge their car like that would claim that it is. They'd just be making do with what they've got. trust me I know about making do with what you've got. I've now decided to badge my parents's car as a nissan statesman, my gf's car as a mazda GTR and my car as a holden astina gts4. Sorry guys, I see all the points your making but I don't agree. I guess I'll never have the same passion for a badge that some of you share. don't take it personally, I just have a rule of not taking things too seriously so on that note, i'm out. P.s. I wont really badge my gf's astina as a mazda gtr... all my old gtr badges were damadged and it would look silly with cracked gtr badges on it.

Hmm... I think this will be one of those things that I just wont ever get. It's always just been three letters stuck together that look really good to me. I love the way the badge looks in the same way that I like the way particular bodykits or colours look on a car. Thanks for all of your input though. Sorry if I can't see the light. Nissan didn't make all their skylines equal but I'm sure they love them all the same lol. so If someone puts an rb26 in a gts4 does that make it a gtr? If I owned a gtst but used the gtr in forza or gran turismo am I cheating?... Ok that one's not a serious question... seriously though, even though I still don't understand why some people treat the gtr badge likereligiousios symbol thanks for replying with serious posts.

Hey guys this is my first time posting a new topic so i'm sorry if it's in the wrong place. I was looking at the for sale section and I saw a topic about a guy wanting to make his gtst look like a gtr. In his post he asked about putting GTR badges on his car which i thought was a fair enough question but afeter scrolling dow the page I found that everyone was absolutely ripping him to shreds saying things like "If you put GTR badges on a GTST your car should be keyed and you should be executed". It got to the point where his next post read like a mini emotional break down. A whole bunch of administrators got on and apologised to the guy and then all the blokes that tore strips off him got on and semi-apologised/justified thier earlier comments. They were saying things like "it's not as bad as a GTR badge on an excel", "it'll never be a real gtr" blah blah blah... ect... ect... The bottom line is I just want to know what the big deal was? A mate of mine has a GTST that he's built up and it's putting out 320ish kw at the wheels and he's about to put the 3 litre bottom end on it aiming for around the 450kw mark. That'd make it 2-3 times more powerful than my gtr. I wouldn't give a rats if he bought a GTR badge from the wreckers and glued it to his boot lid. It's not a gtr, it's faster than a gtr! well faster than mine anyway and we've both spent about the same money on our cars. What does everyone else think?
