well i have not just the GTS25 sticker, but a V-Spec sticker aswell! (someone thought they were cool in japan :P )

both are in pretty bad shape, best solution i think is to get them off completely, but just a question of how and what to use?

if anyone out there has done this (and im sure therel be someone) give us some advice on what to do and itl be much appreciated :D

As suggested above, probably use a hair-dryer as heat gun may cause your paint to crack if you aim and flame too long.

Then, get some polishing liquid and polish it until it blends in with the paint... then give it a good wash and you may find it's all gone.

Gotta say, the VSPEC looks pretty professionally put on - but I agree, gotta go as it's a bit 'try-hard.'

got stuck into it this afternoon and night. after 3hours of rubbing and peeling and polishing, final result is a faint outline of residue :D

upload pics again, as i get the time.

all i used was some eucalyptus oil and a slice off a blister pack (instead of fingernails hehe) mind you my hands are still fairly sore lol ><

after a polish she was beautiful. only had moderate success with the hairdryer.

UPDATE:

this is the finished result, after a cut and polish. the Vspec outline is still vaguely evident, but in real life just looking, you can hardly tell unless you get close in

decided to keep the GTS25 badge as it doesnt look half bad now without the other badge that was there

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
