Guys,

Thought it were more appropriate to put this in here than the "For Sale" forum as a lot of you wouldn't look there! This is a genuine KPGC110 front grille badge from Japan, in as new condition.

If you're going to make a GT-R replica, this is for you.

No, it's alright here. It interests me and 99% of sale posts are for hair dryers etc :P Way too expensive for one badge though! for me anyway :boohoo:

Perhaps a pointer in this forum to the for sale section would have been the go.

Stop livin' ya tag Neil, I'm older and GRUMPIER! :flamed:

Jim. :hippy: :D

Even thought its relevant, we don't really allow ebay links in the forsale section or any for sale threads. You're either selling it straight out or auctioning it...

I've put the ad in the appropriate section as Neil requested...

For 130 I thought was selling myself short. I'd like to know your source funkymonkey if you're offering - I'm still after a couple of bits! (no sarcasm here)

Now take into consideration this is local (no shipping risk), with high-detail shots so you know what you're getting (no box :P) and I think you'll find the price is quite reasonable.

Alfadog... I usually source parts direct from japanese wreckers, and Yahoo auctions and maybe autobacs n other shops if its cheaper to buy directly.

The version I'm thinking of is the one with the GT-R side by side instead on top of each other...

like so...

although, i did manage to find this one...

Bargain Ken-Mary GTR badge set with GT badges n all... I can bid on it if anyone wants it. Small things like this I ship EMS, it can be insured, but its fully trackable for free.

only 5 hours left, better be quick. As I said, its a matter of looking around to snap up the bargains with these sorta things.

As it is if it dosen't go any higher it should cost about $60 to get to your door.

Very nice gesture Funky. To get an idea, the first badge ..with the GT-R side by side, if sold would be about $90 Aussie. In your estimate what would it cost to get that to my door via monkey means? I'll add a pic of a coupla badges I do need if you ever stumble across them at the right price. Front guard "GT" badges in red for a real KPGC10. My car had them when sold at auction in Japan but all the badges had disappeared by the time it got to Australia. Unfortunately the wrong ones (from a later series ) have been stuck on since. The rear quarter badges, above them in the pic....I dunno. I'm still thinking about them. The car was rebuilt without them (no holes) and the car looks ok without them but........any opinions out there please?? Should I bother, I know it will never be a real '72 GT-R no matter how many original looking bits it gets, but I'm leaning towards making it LOOK as close as possible....Thanks Funky , thanks guys.

Jim.

Jim, I had always thought you were missing the C-pillar badges! I had forgotten all about those... indeed, the car doesn't look like it's missing anything without them. I do, however, think it would look better with them on. I think it's no badges, or all badges - no via media!

Here is an attachment of one with no badges - sexxxyyyy!

      Weird compression after rebuild

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...

      More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Pay diff/trans workshop to do this.   Nope. Z32 turbo ran R230 with 6 bolt GTR style axles. All other Z32 were R200. Basically same same as other R32 stuff. All were a viscous waste of space.

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
