GTR Badges on GTST

[ferni]

Yeah, look at a GTR next to a Gtst and the differences are obvious... look for the flaired guards, if they have them, its a GTR (unless a wide body kit has been put on it, very expensive and rare).. if no flair guards, then its a gtst...

Also i'm get to see a decent GTR kit on a Gtst.. they just look cheap compared to the real GTR ... don't quite look right... If i had a gtst i wouldn't put a GTR kit on it, there are better kits for the gtst.

I've pulled up next to a few gtst's with gtr kits/badges, i look at them shaking my head, but they just look dead ahead, won't look at me, hah!

- brakes are brembo (for r33 and r34)

- r32 brakes are cross drilled (unless they were changed)

if you can get a look inside:-

- front torque split gauge in dash for r32, on centre console for r33

- one piece seats for gtr's with hole in the middle, adjustable headrests for others

- 10k tacho for gtr's only upto 9k i think for others

..there should be some more...

saw a vl the other day with gtr badges on it, thought what a tool, raced him and got flogged, turned out there was an rb26dett under there, damnit

(private roads of cours)

Oh this sucks: my GT-R doesn't even have a GT-R badge. Next time you see a GTS-t with a GT-R badge, steal it and send it to me to give it a rightful home

50% of 33 Skylines on the Gold Coast have GTR badges on GTSt's.

So lame.

i took my gtr badges off when it came over from japan, so its not just us doing this.

[Mr GTS4]

what about if someone had a GTS4 ( me ) and had recorded!! atleast 206 4wkw, then would it be ok the put a GTR badge on the back?

Its down to personal opinion and taste, if you like it and want one, go for it.

But at the end of the day, its not a GTR, so I dont see why people would badge it as one, regardless of how much power it makes...

Well is it a GT-R? No? Well there is your answer

Also on the r33 GT-R the Side indicators come out and in the gts-t they are flat with the panel

[LastTemptation]

even if it was a gtr i would like to see how ppl would react to a gtr with no badge.. would they think it was a gtst?

[krzysiu]

Like it was said before. People that know skylines would be able to tell if its a gts-t or a gt-r. But people that dont know skylines wont know what a gt-r is anyway

I'll let you know when I drive my car a bit more (ie. its a GT-R with no GT-R badge)

[Mr GTS4]

there is a bright orange R32 GTR cough cough i mean gtst going around where i live with GTR bodykit and the badge on the back, and has the plates GTR - 30. when i was driving behind it i noticed that the rear shocks were different to mine ( gts4 and gtr have same struts ). i then raced him and flogged him, pulled up next to him and he wouldn't even look at me.

[Senilyks]

OK I don't know if this have ever been bought up before but I have to know..

Why do I see people with GTR badges on GTST's. I see it way to many times, you see a nice skyline start having a look at it and then BAM! it is ruined cause it has this GTR badge on it, IT DOESN'T NEED IT!!! Anyone who knows Skylines knows it's not a GTR and anyone who doesn't know Skylines doesn't know what a GTR is. I know this is a bit of a bitch but can some one please clear this up for me, why do people do this???? Oh and if you are one of the people that does this I am not having a go at you (well not much) I just don't understand it.

I raised this same subject with Nat55 about his gtr badge on his gts-t.

He keeps claiming his car is a gtr. You want an answer to your question? VALIDATION. It is like putting prancing horse on a mustang. These people think every-one around them is so stupid and blind that they cannot see the bullshit. I call it low self esteem. And one more thing, as a owner of a gts-t iam quite insulted by the whole gtr badge on gts-t. My last thread got taken off because Nat55 had a boohoo and could not handle the truth.

Cheers :kick:

[daler32]

its alot like ppl with there common dores puttin hsv stickers all over an executive with a bodykit they want it to be sumthin it aint

[pinoi_boi_r33]

if in melb just go 2 chapel st. every gtst has gtr badges. I saw one with the plates NOS-GTR but it was GTS-t blardy tools. on another note i saw a really ricey celica with trd stickers as well as NISMO stickers on both sides, and they where huge.

[Whale_Ryda]

i think its crappy.... like unnecessary, u attract attention for the wrong reasons, and the ppl who do praise are the ones that dont know gt-r's really

It is your choice but I still wouldn't put one on, I would be proud that my GTS4 could keep up with or beat a GTR, it shows you have worked on your car

[godzla32]

I read this thread yesterday and it so happened that coming home from soccer a guy asked me if it was an original GTR!

Lucky the guy was playing with us and he's an allrite bloke caus I nearly pissed myself!!

Why on earth would i put a badge on it if it wasnt genuine!!
