well normaly you would use a hair dryer to heat up the badge untill the glue becomes soft and lets u pull it off

as for the front grill you can pop out the nissan logo but its going to look funny with no logo so maybe get a sports style mesh grill?

thinking i like the clean look on the back

Do it in the sun. Get wax and grease remover to assist. Take the badges off with your fingernails. Use plenty of wax n grease remover to soften the existing glue. Use your fingernails to remove it. Then give it a quick polish and wax.

Its easy- just time consuming.

I did my old car wih fishing line and clay bar. Was quick, easy and couldn't tell there was a badge there before.

Add-in the hair-dryer to make it a little easier. Don't forget to wax the area after you clay as well. Might need a little polish too depending if there is any build-up around the badges before waxing.

EDIT: importantly... and go SLOWLY!! with the fishing line

      Cv boot replacement and rego inspection

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not much. It's barely more than an hour's labour. So that-ish plus a boot, clamp strap, some grease.   But, being an R32 GTR, when it is up in the air and the driveshaft is out, about $9k worth of other problems will become visible.

      Is this saveable r32 gtr seat

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, as above. The welding is an easy enough job. Proper reupholstering, perhaps less so. These, and pretty much all seats of the same era (and probably still) rely on molded foam parts to make the shapes. That foam is the yellow detritus visible in the photos. And it is difficult to replicate. I didn't want the pain, so went aftermarket seats instead. But for "saving a classic".... it's probably worth the kidney and left nut that a trimmer will want to redo them.

      Way too accurate.... source: got flogged by an unsuspecting i30N last night... Super tidy looking 32 though, hopefully you find the time and funds to get it back on the road and enjoy it again!

      Source: This thread, and the thread this thread spawned from. Alternative take: Is heat actually an issue for the use case of this vehicle? I wonder if it actually would be. Nekminit

      Is this saveable r32 gtr seat

      By PLYNX · Posted

      Considering the price of GTR stuff now the answer is yes. That's a straight forward TIG or even MIG job. I'd put extra tubing inside, for extra strength and weld it up. Then use the spare seat as an example to get the bolster rails in the correct position and the re-apolster. If you don't mind me asking what did you pay for the pair as they are?
