GT Emblems

[doggido]

Novice question time!

Why are the GT badges on the front guards different colours & what do they stand for?

I think there are gold, blue & red, correct me if I'm wrong!

Cheers

Blue are on na cars and red are on turbo ones, the gold were part of an option pack with gold badges

I’m sure there are cars that don’t follow that rule, then again they may have had the front wiped off and had the front guards replaced

The rule is the rule. Variations from the rule did not occur at the factory.

From Silvias? Not OE on Skylines, from what I know.

The rule is also a little more flexible that I stated, in that apparently R32 GTS4 were blue. This was probably to further differentiate them from the GTR, although that would be a pretty weak effort, given the GTSt looked identical and had red.

And....wasn't it the case that the earliest R32s had no colour? Just chrome.

 

In general though, given that 99.9% of red and blue seem to indicate turbo and NA, it is fair to assume that the wrong colour on a car means something has been swapped. Whether that's the motor or the guards/badges would then be the question. At least the chassis number seldom lies.
