This reminds me when I used to ride road bikes. A mate put a Honda decal on a Kawasaki and you should have heard the shit fight. Some people even got angry.

Its the same as slapping on a 'M' badge on a beemer.

I personally dont care what people do. If it makes you happy :)

BMW will slap M labels everywhere for you if you order the M-sport pack even for a gutless 320i...

Not sure if fishing......... You want a GT-R badge? Buy a GT-R. A GT-R spoiler I can live with as it's an aesthetic improvement, GT-R badge GTFO.

It is stupid, especially when you own a GTR and see a GTST or GTT with one. Its like the owner has a massive L tattooed to his forehead. They are tryhards, they should stick to the shopping list dow

I think there's a certain comedic value to be had from badges, such as fitting a GTR badge to a clapped-out old 120Y.

Someone once stuck a BMW badge on the bonnet of my 180B.

Took me about a month to notice it (the less I actually looked at that car, the better).

I have a friend who has a GTSTR Badge on his car. His car can outrun alot of GTR's in the area though so he kinda earned it haha. But guys who put GTR badges remind me of people in the USA who shop at pep boys and autozone putting the fake stick on hood scoops. Doesnt piss me off just gives me a nice laugh :D

I once had a dude in a R34 GTT-t with a GTR badge on it try and get me to race him in my BNR32, I told him he is dreaming and to take his GTT pos home ( no offence to GTT owners as even you guys would have called this thing a pos ) he then swear blind it was a GTR with a single turbo conversion

The look on his face when I pointed out the 4wd had been " converted " to :)

The 180 is a genuine classic brah, shoulda held onto that shitter!

Maybe today it is. In 1989 it was just another crappy Jap family sedan (though mine was a rally car, so I did like it). It was well past its use-by date so I ended up transferring the mechanicals across into a 1600 and took the rusted out shell to the Mt Isa tip.

Had I held onto the B, I imagine I'd now have a nice pile of rust to admire.

No denying that, it goes to show even BMW dont care too much about the prestige of the m badge.

* white smoke billowed like a cumulus cloud after busting an a/c bracket

* exhaust manifold pulled away from the block

* uni joints kept breaking when pushed through hairpins

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
