LOL

I just washed and clayed the car and I think to myself, why not take the badges off and see how she looks?

1 Hairdryer and a heap of melted fishing line later I learnt that there are 2 pins behind the GT badge on the QTR panels.

This totally sucks because now I'll have to find something to:

A) Put there instead (another badge or light cap)

B) Fill it and have it painted over

C) Get a pair of new QTRs when I get the kit done...

So for now the badge is back where it belongs =P

Just thought I'd share as I had read on a few places(googled forums) that there was no pins...

I have no idea why you took them off. People get robbed and find replacements for them. The GT badges there are tough as... why would you take them off in the first place. Nothing else looks nice there mate...I suggest you buy another set and put them on again!

Where I live there are plenty of dickheads that pinch them and damage the panel while doing so. 2 mates of mine have only 1 GT badge and because my car is parked out in the open for 8+ hours a day I figured I'd remove them for a debadged look, (removing the S off the bonnet when respraying)

Mind you I prefer not having any badges, yes people will still know its a skyline, but who needs to advertise and obvious car :)

Fair enough mate. Well, good luck with it.

I got mine pinched twice and keyed too...some people are absolutely morons.

When my car gets damaged I turn into Vince from Pulp Fiction.... "What kind of cockless piece of work f**ks with a man motorvehicle!"

Well I am thinking I will get some little megaman extra life power ups made and put them there instead of the GT badges... but depending on costs might just go with some new quarters instead heheh

Mate, if you're really after the badgeless look. Just get those pin holes welded up and repainted.

I know how you feel when those bastards steal your shit. Just crack it!

Removed my rear Nissan and 25GTT badges yesterday. The latter basically peeled off and a little bit of heat from a hairdryer and some wax floss took care of the Nissan badge. However I still can't get all the hard bits of glue off, I've tried washing the area and Armour All Bug and Tar remover. Any further suggestions?

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 馃槢 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
