Pfffttt, i think there tools, i dont car about wings and body kits, but if u stick a GTR badge on it your a tool end of story. Ive owned a GTR, And still have 2 GTS/T's and would never ever put a badge on them that made them out to be something there not.

Best comment about blacky from some dude that came and saw it at the drags..

"oh so it really does have a V8, i thought u were some tool that just put badges on your car...."

ok guys im a proud owner of a R33 GTST .. rebaged as a GTR and heck proud of it for what it is.For me its like driving my GTR ( which i also own) but without the high insurance prices , not having to worry about some idoit scratchin my paint (catanua splash halaqin) and lesser attention from cops, i think anyone who owns a skyline can do as they please it is their money and time .. heck ive seen r31 Pintara's with GTR badges on them...

im trying to get gts-t badges that look like gtr style badges from overseas, but with not much luck...i have no trouble getting gts-r badges either...so i think that is a better alternative then putting a gtr badge on a gts-t...but thats the owners choice...so im cool either way....as long as its a nissan, who cares

Yay Arbess!!! A GTR owner who gets it!!! Doesn't discriminate and doesn't judge. A Skyline is a Skyline. I hate hearing that crap about how us 'poor' GTS-T owners need to earn more money to get a GTR!! I Chose the GTS-T for my own reasons, and judging by the amount GTR owners have to spend to make more power, it is a clear cut win to the GTS-T crowd. There are more of us and there always will be, so get along or don't, your elitism is unwarranted and sad.

Sorry to all those GTR owners who do socialise with us, but most don't want to.

ok, if that is the case, why do these guys continue to put GTR badges on thier GTS-Ts to make them look "tough"??

Shouldn't they be happy with the fact that thier skyline is a GTS-T and not feel the need to impersonate a GTR??

hey i have to admit im guilty of this. i own a r33 gts-t and i put a gtr front bar and grill on my vehicle not because i wanted to immitate one but becuase i genuinly like the design over the 400r's, veilside & all the rest. i used to be the same as most people here and not really agree on putting gtr badges on gts-t's but the problem was the gtr grill has a strip down the middle where the badge sticks onto and without any badge there it looked awful. ive only ever seen one gts-t badge in the same design as the gtr and ive been told it was custom done. so even though it looks kinda stupid having a gtr badge on a gts-t it looks way better than having no badge at all. therefore it shall stay there until i find a better replacement & its not like im trying to deceit anyone or be tough

im not against putting on gtr style gear like bodykits, wheels gauges etc its all customizing your car to the way you like it and i imo thats the only reason I do it is to not look like anyone else and to take pride in what i drive, but badging a car something its not is just stupid, I mean its like a commo driver puting grange badges on a povity pack sedan its just plain dumb. everyone knows its not what the badge is so take pride in what u drive just cause its not a gtr doesnt mean its still not an awesome ride and there a few gtsts i would own b4 some of the other gtr's out there

My car came with a genuine GTR rear wing but I later removed it because everyone had huge aerofoils etc. Then after a short while, everyone went wingless including a lot of GTR's because it makes a GTS-T look wider and lower! (Not by any means sugesting that I'm a trend setter as my car sits in the garage ALOT).

So now every ones wingless, I put mine back on as I don't see many 32's sporting a GTR wing!

I also debadged my car because I like the smooth understated (wolf in sheeps clothing) look. None of this was done with the intension to fake GTR status but more as an attempt to make my car appealing to me!

In the subject of how my car looks = I don't care what other people think because it's MY car and MY money.

I see it all day on prestige cars with M Power and AMG badges on the lowest spec. car of the range with some cheap muffler banged on the back willy nilly! Now there are a couple of funny things about this

1. Being that usually these cars are worst the maintained clapped out bangers that come through the workshop &

2. The type of person that would notice the badge and be impressed by the real model it represents would also very quickly identify that it's just a dunger with a badge and the frase "What a tosser" comes to the mouth without further thought!

It is personal choice but you're making the choice to say to the rest of the world that you feel inadequate and you need a badge to feel bigger in the world and keep up with the jones's!

I do agree with a previous post though, that a GTR badge is better than no badge if there is a defined spot where there should be one.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
