I got my 33 GTST back in Feb. Whoever had owned in Japan had done their best to make it look like a GT-R.

Of course the first thing I did before turning the key was to rip off the Grille badge.

I have since ordered some correct "T" badges from Just Jap.

With their impending arrival I need to know how to stick them on. The GTR badge was just stuck on with double sided tape. I'm not gonna do that so icoz I wanna do it properly. If anyone has any hints on how to attach the bonnet badge to a "T", lemme know.

What grill you got? If you have a GTR grill you can put it on, but you have to put something forward to stick on onto. I used bit of liquid nails, but friday night some jerk stole my "s"

so now there is a blob there and its hard to get off :P

I'd just use superglue if u have a normal grill, but it will mean you can't ever take it off without leaving a mark probably, and it can still still get ripped off unfortunately by whichever assholes are in the habbit of stealing such things.

Good on tho mate, now run along ya young scamp.

:lol:

Use double sided automotive tape.

All car badges are held on with it, it doesn't melt off in the heat, and you can guarantee that some prick will steal your badge one day, it's better to have it stuck there lightly, (as opposed to liquid nails) so they do less damage when they steal it...

If you stick it on the grille, and its ultra hard to remove, the person who tries to pinch it will crack the shits and just smash the grille to get it off.

I agree with R31 Skyline Chick 100%

There are some 'auto' grade double sided tapes that fix the plastic strips on the side of the cars. If these heavy strips don't fall off (most of them don't), then i am sure it can easily support your badge. You may need to go to a panel beater, as most of the commercial brands found at bunnings, k-mart, etc. are crap.

PS: Let me congratulate you on a very wise decision. Some gt-r copy kits look good, but to see the gt-r badge on a gts is just disapointing.

i fully agree with Al. Good on ya Wardest. Sick of GTR copy GTS-T's floating around.

Saw a beautiful 32 GTS-T in my town the other day. (only other 32 i've ever seen) Drove past it to take a better look but was disgusted at the try hard GTR badge stuck on the back. What are ppl thinking?

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
