Some aboriginal (not being racist) offered me a "hot" BMW badge in the city last week. He was asking $15 - straight off an M3.

Seems like these days the GTR badge is hot property? Probably another GTS-T owner wanting it to make his a "GTR"... I'm seeing that more these days, too!

ask sinergy might be cheaper thats where i got my badges from and they were brand new and sealed.

Just gave em a buzz now,

awaiting for a callback with price. I've decided not to worry bout replacing the front badge cos it looks more kinda aggressive without, but any tips on removing the glue left behind without damaging paint? I'm assuming bug/tar remover will do the trick?

if that doesnt work, try a clay bar.

Wuld like to kno the same, im very interested. I cant stand the look of the keyhole without it, looks so cheap & violated.

it certainly does look a little cheap and crappy... not nice at all.

There was another thread about re-attaching the badge to the swivel, and someone posted that they successfully re attached it with a 'C' Clip of some sort... i cant see how thats going to work though...

looks like we're due for a completely new badge / barrel unit. :happy:

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 馃槀馃槀
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I鈥檇 get, where I鈥檇 mount the dash etc.  I鈥檓 happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I鈥檇 like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it鈥檚 not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
