[GTRKat]

Oh that looks awesome! Damn it I can't wait to get mine on!!!

Me thinks he only did that to torment you

[GTRKat]

Haha it's working!

I can't believe I was so dumb and didn't notice that he was from Canberra too. He was even nice enough to help me with GTR badges!!

Going to order my badge this weekend along with the insert for my coilpack cover which arrived today.

[shredder667]

yeah, purely to torment kat.

hey, before you buy the badge, i think you might be alright getting the 33 badge. i noticed with the 34 badge because it's kinda angled upward (and so is the grille) it ends up facing up at a slightly silly angle i thought. i overcame the problem by sticking some washers behind the top screw on the badge to angle it forward a little more, then i though you could probably do the same with the 33 badge to make it stick out more - just stick some washers/ a spacer behind it and save $30 on a badge. then again, there's probably something about the 33 badge i don't know about like different mounting system or something. i dunno. i've probably just made your decision harder again. just buy a 34 badge and ignore everything i just said.

is very nice (said in most borat style voice possible)

LOL when I first started reading the "get the 33 badge bit" i was like oh shit!!! Haha I ordered one last night. Also ordered an R34 coilpack cover ornament and a HKS mirror boost gauge. Shopping is fun!!

[shredder667]

what does the hks mirror boost gauge look like? i want the 3 pod defi gauge thing that sits on the side of the instrument cluster! shopping is dangerous.

[GTRKat]

It's like a mirror when it's off:

And lights up when it's on:

Thought it was about time that I got a real boost gauge that actually goes up higher than my boost level!

Wow, that grill looks pretty good, I think it would look great with one of those Bonnet lips.

[shredder667]

yeah totally! but not sure if it'll fit as it's already really really tight on the top. but i have seen a photo of one with the grille and a lip.

eyyy.... looks hot... welcome to the HKS grille'd R32 club

here's the one i've got

[shredder667]

ooh, got any pics with it on?

[funkymonkey]

not yet... car's still gettin built and painted

with clear indicators and that grille on you can see how the R32 evolved into an R33 *shudder*

[GTRKat]

Where abouts are you getting it painted? I am getting my engine rebuilt in November and wanna get it done while the engine is out.
