Ladies/Gents,

parked my GTR in rundle st upark last nite. it was only there for bout 30 mins returned to find it badged. both front and back. pulled the entire block mounted front one off, breaking clips to. the rear one they have scratched the hell out of the boot.

Does anyone know any good touch up guys??

Damn that sucks, use to park my line there fairly regular, no one obviously likes the little GT bagdes that much.

What the hell do these wankers do with a pair of GT-R badges anyway? Stick them on their commo so it's 'fully sick'

I got mine de-badged a few yrs back, lucky the guy was a pro, no damage to the paint

You can get a genuine one from Nissan for about $60-80

friend of mine has a 32 GTR. He had the badges stuck on with industrial strength velcro and then whenever he parked somewhere in town etc he just pulled them off and put them in the car. You couldn't tell if you looked at them that they were only stuck on.

He went out the other week though and forgot to remove the badges first. Got back to his car and they were gone :( I guess the only upside is that the paint wasn't damaged.

It’s a real shame that people do these sort of things and velcro has to be used so badges can be removed when parking your car :)

Someone who works at the same place as my mum bought an Aus delivered R32 GTR back in 1992, he said he couldnt take it anywhere, badged, scratched, damaged etc. Bogans must have been a bit more upset back then than they are now...

Sucks to hear though, hopefully it doesnt cost too much to get it back the way it was!

twas 140 for a r32 gtr badge when i spoke to them, that was few years ago though. i think 32s is the only 1s that have specific badges for specific colours because the sticky bit behind needs to match your car. lol just noticed u got 33 so prob cheaper for urs then :)

and as for what they do with them i dont know, but i usually get pretty mad when i see a fake gtr with a badge present thinking is that mine you lil f er

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
