Well funky brings me to my next thought.  If you say take your badges off your GTR, what happens then?  Does it become a GTSt4 or something crazy???

IM REALLY CONFUSSUSED!

um, you have a GTR with a wierd patch in your clear coat? is this a trick question?

I've got hi-res pics, but I cbf hostin it and linking it lol. oh and if numberplates need to be edited out, please do so.

you guys need to get over yourselves and the whole GTR craze.

just because someone wants to put a GTR badge on their car (or leave it on since they bought it that way) is up to them and not upto you.

Basically the way I see it is blatent dissrespect which to me isnt acceptable to anyones ride no matter what they have chosen to do with it, its up to THEM, not YOU.

Im sure theres plenty of shit on your cars other people wouldnt like, yet they keep it to themselves, why dont some of you try practicing the same.

what about people that put stickers on their car like Gready apexi trust HKS etc even though they dont have any on those brand named parts in their car ????

Well as the saying goes thats a shopping list. When you get these items you tick them off, or cross them off, just like a shopping list! So when you see a car with a big list, you know its slow, unless all the items are crossed off :rofl:

But how about this one! GTSt4 with full gtr running gear, and say they had a bingle, and replaced the guards with GTR ones... and they put badges on it? Then its really a GTR, just with a different plate on it isnt it? Hell lets go all out and say they put in all the interior too! 99% of people wouldnt know the difference, so is that stupid?

Here is one to get us started

This car is from the sunshine coast the plates stand for (SIZZLA) and it doesnt have a gtr engine but it has run a 13 or 14 quarter. its only a gtst. still no need for the gtr badge!

I just don't quite understand it.. it's not adding to the car, it's not impressing anybody that I've ever met.. and often they are nice cars in their own right.. but I don't quite see why.. they even cost money to buy.

Agree, Can not stand people that put GTR badges on their GTST's. OK it’s as fast as a GTR, but their is no need for the badge. Every time I see that, which has been more then I’d like. I just think you’re a lllooossseeerrrr.

I would rather have a scratch on my front bar then put a GTR badge over it. Be proud of the GTST you have it a sick care. Yeah the GTR is the ultimate car to have but unless it was budged a GTR from factory I’m SORRY IT AINT.

That’s my 2 cents.

Has anyone on this forum got a GTR that is still original as it rolled off the factory floor in japan?Is a GTR still a GTR if it has aftermarket wheels,tyres, exhaust,computer,boost controller,turbos,manifolds,suspension,gauges,sound system,pistons,cams,valves,valve springs,clutchs,seats etc. etc.?

and there is always one who misses the point :)

It has got nothing to do with the visual appeal of someones car or lack thereof, it is about people lieing about what their car is.

Yes it is up to them what goes on their car and I am sure there are people that think my car looks like a POS, but you know what? I am not going around claiming that my car is something that it's not.

There are even threads in this very forum about people trying to sell GTST's as GTR's with a price point to match. And if this thread does nothing more than make people aware that there are con artists out there, who claim things are what they are not and to take care when looking at purchasing a skyline, then that is a good thing!

Umm, I stuck a GTR badge on my Computer Monitor at work so that I felt closer to my car (it is currently 1600kms away) is that Shameful, if so, I will take a pic and post it up!!!

:)

That just shows the down right dedecation and love that you have for your car.

No shame in that at all.

Thats just like putting a photo of your family or kids on your desk, your just a proud man and theres nothing wrong with that. :)

picture anyway.

say you have a dead RB26 engine....and you can't affod to buy another engine and your mate were like donating an RB25 to fit into your GTR..and you agreed to do so.

what would you call that one ? still a GTR ?

The answer to that one is YES!

It would be a SHAMER to call it Godzilla though.

The facts are.

1. A GTR is a GTR. You can never change that.

2. A GTST may go as quick with some mods but no matter what you do is still a GTST.

If you have a quick GTST, don't be ashamed, you have a beautiful vehicle. Be happy with what you have.

If you have a slow GTR, don't be ashamed, you have a beautiful vehicle. Be happy with what you have.

Don't pretend to own what you want.

The SPIRIT of the GTR is in the car. You could take a normal GTR and change all the guards, change the engine, mags, bodykit, lights and interior and it is still a GTR coz it still has the spirit of a GTR.

Can anyone wear your clothes, hat, shoes and claim to be you. NO!

I would rather have a GTR killing GTST and say that it is a GTST then have a GTR badge and a hell of a lot higher expectation from spectators and racers.

When you slap that badge on, you raise the bar for your car and it suddenly goes from an awesome GTST to a moderate FAKE GTR that everyone and his dog knows is a fake.

LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE GTR!!!!

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
