Almost embarassed to ask this.

[Wardest]

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.

[Mr. Oizo]

T?

shouldnt it get a "S"

[Wardest]

Sorry, I wasn't to clear there but yes the badge will be an "S" for a gts- "T"

[Mr. Oizo]

i see

[Wardest]

Glad we cleared that up.

So, got any advice for me Dark?

[Mr. Oizo]

not really.. i'm only 15.. and i dont really know how to do much

[Wardest]

Holy Shit!!! I can remember when I was 15.

That was 10 farking years ago.

God damn, where has my life gone?

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

[chopobo]

liquid nails?

that stuff is good for holding down mesh grills

[predator]

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

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:

[pushead]

just use double sided tape.. that is what they use originally..wither that, or sica-flex.

[predator]

Double sided tape will come off in the heat.. and makes it bit to easy for somebody to just pull off (if it just doesn't fall off).. sica-flex or some form of silicone will work better i think.

[SKY031]

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.

[RBN1]

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?

[Chef_32]

get a superman badge. It'll look mad.........

carefule with liquid nails, if it get squeezed around the edges of the badge when you put it on, laters, that shit don't come off easy

[Guest wegs]

I've had mixed results with double sided tape. Sikaflex for best results. Used to secure bodykits and windscreens in place - sets like rubber and can be removed later. Don't use silicon on paint work as it will react with the paint.

[funkymonkey]

selleys all clear?

[ex-static]

why not use sikaflex? its excellent.. I used it to attatch my side skirts etc.. and its black, like a glue and easy to use

[Wardest]

Problem solved. The badges arrived yesterday and they have their own adhesive. Nuff said. Thanx for all the advice

[Al]

AAHH! Double sided auto grade tape straight from the manufacturer. HaHa
