kits and all are fine up to a point. as soon as the GTR badge hits the panels of a gtst its becomes sad. and there are soo many monkeys driving their badged up gtst thinking they are hot shit. i personally dont see the point in spending money making a slow car look fast. all these gtst getting around with 160rwkw looking plastic fantastic dressed with bodykits turns me off. next thing they pull up to you and turn up their subs till your car starts to shake. gay shit.

gtst with around 160 kw with body kits are very common, i dont get where your coming from dude? theres nothing wrong with that nor the subs.

this was about skylines trying to be GTRS (badges etc)

you pulled in front of him and did a burnout, to teach him a lesson for having an N/A?

you're right...you do need to be bashed

Sorry I'm late ppl but... ;)

The Chevy badge deal is an option available to Au buyers. Essentially no one outside Au has heard of Holden so the taxis are rebadged and sent to Saudi, UAE etc.

Badges...pfft. The R stands for Race as in Grand Touring-Race. If you've got a T that has a hot mill and sorted suspension put what ever badge you like on it. I dont care if some homeboy in a civic mistakes my R for a T. I bought it for me and if he want to gettem out and measure up thats fine...when the flag drops the bullsh!t stops :(

Justjap sell the fake one for $20, and the genuine one for $95

IIRC, the fake ones are just stuck on but the genuine ones have holes in the boot where the badge can be slotted in.

I think a lot of the confusion comes in because people don't understand what putting on a GTR (or Type R, or whatever) badge MEANS. It doesn't mean your car is capable of running x seconds down the quarter or doing a x:xx lap of QR, it doesn't mean it's as fast as or faster than a GTR. It means "this car is a GTR". If it didn't come out of the factory with a GTR build plate, then I'm sorry but it's not a GTR, and you're telling everyone your car is something it's not. Just because the performance may be equivalent is irrelevant - it's NOT a GTR unless that's how it left the factory, regardless of what mods you've done or how much GTR stuff you've bolted on.

Regardless, if someone wants to put a GTR badge on their car, who are we to tell them them they can't? It's their car, their money, and whatever they want to do with it is their business. I will still laugh though :)

A GTS-T will NEVER be a GTR, ever. Putting a GTR badge on it is sad :)

i agree.

a non-GTR Skyline should not carry the GTR badge. a GTS with a GTR badge is an affront to the nameplate. even if the GTS-t or GTS4 has been modified, it's not originally a GTR and lacks GTR build characteristics.

it's perfectly ok to modifiy a non-GTR Skyline "beyond" a GTR's original setup and performance traits as long as the car is presented under the moniker of it's original build. otherwise, it's a lie and a poseur. had i a GTS-t that ran low 11s and looked fly, say with an N1 kit or a 400R kit (in the case of an R33), i'd be proud that it was a GTS-t because it would be an example of what a lesser model is capable of.

but don't go putting GTR on the car. that is just gay.

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
