A few weeks ago I had the local hand car wash wash my GTR....

when I got home I noticed the rear GTR badge red section (centre of the R) was bent and had a chunk of sponge under it.

So...I call the closest GTR dealer to organise a new badge

Me: I would like to order the rear GTR badge for my R35

Nissan: no problem...in stock in Melbourne...2 day delivery to Sydney

Me: OK..can I use my credit card to pay for it

Nissan: yes

Me: (reads out CC number)

Nissan: thankyou sir...will call you when it arrives

Me: Ok...BTW...how much are they

Nissan: four hundred and ninety two dollars and eighty cents

Me: OK...cancel that

Ok, I know that we pay a lot of "GTR tax" for parts but 500 bucks for plastic badge is stupid..

So. I got to Japanparts.com

http://www.japanpart...&maker=&VOLKEY=

About $100 each delivered...I ordered 2 and they arrived today...genuine Nissan

I have purchased a few parts in the last few years from Japanparts...recommend them.

thanks very handy, what do ppl think about gtr badges on gtst :P

I saw coppers writing up a ticket for a GTST parked in a loading zone outside Coles in Diamond Creek one night. It was after hours and a place where everyone parks, so I thought it was a bit tough.

Then I saw it had a GTR badge on it so I told them to book him twice.

dear god no!

your car is a GTS25+T

only losers put GTR badges on NON-GTRs

or me that put a NON-GTR badge on my deliberately ridiculous 4 door :P

you think thats bad the spec v brake pads are priced at $36,000AUD off memory lmao

I find that very hard to believe.

Maybe for a complete brake set, ie. discs, calipers, pads, lines, booster, pedal, ABS unit and so on. And even then I'd be surprised if all that was $36k.

I'm pretty sure that's the unbelievably expensive Carbon Ceramic option ON EDGE is referring to.

Wasn't the full set-up somewhere north of $60k? Everyone else seems to manange it for $20k to $40ish?

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
