Now firstly, this thread is not meant to disrespect anyone but more so to hear everyone's take on this issue.

It's becoming way too often that I see, GTS's and GTS-T's wearing the GT-R badge in a way that it just makes me wonder why aren't they proud of what they got and seriously... do they think everyone are that clueless?

For example, I drive a fairly heavily-modified R33 GTS-T - I think I can either beat a stock GT-R or at least keep up to it so why should I even try to badge my car as a GT-R? I'm proud of what I got and wouldn't have it any other way. If I wanted a GT-R and can afford one etc, I would gladly go and buy a GT-R instead of rebadging my GTS-T as a GT-R. I mean, how silly would it be if someone asks... "hey mate, nice car but is it a real GT-R?" If one answers yeah mate, it is alright and then they person was to be a cluey bloke and picks out things to the contrary e.g. no pumped guards, no brembo caliper brakes, no GT-R genuine front lip etc, then wouldn't I look like a total dick? On the otherhand, if I sayd yes and he fell for it, that's the same thing as saying I'm not proud of what I got but am gladly to fake it anyways! I'm confused.

I mean, I have no issues with GTS-T's and GTS's putting on GT-R frontbars, sideskirts etc as the look is nice, but badging it as a GT-R - I think this is pushing the line a bit, your thoughts on this?? How many "Mock Ups" have you soon around lately??

I was considering going the other way and running a GTS-t sticker on the bootlid of our racecar...as ive removed all badging off it...just to get one back for the GTR boys.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
