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!!!!

    • (Rb25det intake manifold) I’m having a hell of a time trying to find the full part or part number of this coolant hardline so far I was given these (Below) but they aren’t what I’m looking for and was told it’s the IAR or aac valve but that doesn’t seem to be it either. If someone could point me in the right direction it’d be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has it for sale that’d be great too. I have recently purchased a greddy manifold and I can’t seem to find my old one to pull it off.  (Front Heater Return / Water Pipe (under intake): Primary part: 14053‑21U10 (front return pipe assembly for R33/R34 RB25DET) Alternative listing: 14053‑21U00 (same pipe, sometimes interchangeably referenced)   Heater Feed Pipe: Listed as 14075‑04U00 or feed-related variant 14053‑AG500)    
    • This sounds cool. But, as per usual, anything really complicated like that, that I take on, constitutes a steep learning curve that I never actually "learn". I just get it working, install it and start using it. Then, when it breaks a few months later, I've got no memory of what I did, how I did it, or even the bloody IP address I gave it. I'm having more or less exactly that problem right now. My Proxmox machine was discovered to be non-responsive, and the VMs on it were ditto. Power cycle it to a stream of loud Dell beep codes - which was unpopular at midnight, I can tell you. Move it to the lounge room so I can HDMI it to the TV for a screen, see the boot messages complaining about the /PVE/data having all sorts of LVM problems, saying it needs to be fixed manually. And I'm like....great. How am I going to work out what I need to do? At least it wasn't the stupid Silicon Power SSD shat itself. Mental note for all readers - DO NOT BUY SP SSDS! They are shit. I have had one take out an entire VM setup already, and this one could have done the same. Maybe it actually has. Cheap Chinesium shitbaskets. I won't cheap out again, even on play projects with no budget. Because my time budget having to fix shit is worth far more than the cost of proper parts.
    • I do typically agree. These days even the screens most people use have more of a boot time than the main device. However, I've seen an interesting use of the RPi in vehicle, however it involves effectively building your own OS and MBR, as then it boots up exceptionally quickly, as you don't have everything needing to start up, and you can then also run it up as an RTOS, while still having more compute than an Android can give for things like display, and processing. A very huge task that would be though for Duncan, I'm not sure that's his skill set (or Arduino programming and wiring) ha ha. If end goal is definitely just water cooling, Arduino would be the simpler setup especially for a rookie. If he wants extra display stuff though, bashing some code in Python on an RPi may be the better result for both systems.   Unfortunately the new device I'm building at work which runs a display, is too slow of a display for dashboard style purposes. More extreme low power, update only a couple of times a day type system
    • I don't like "actual computers" for in car use. They take time to boot up, have OS annoyances, and so on. Arduinos etc are ready to go a few seconds after power on, don't mind being agressively powere cycled, because everything is non-volatile, don't mind being shaken and stirred.
    • As Fred would tell us, it's all about interpreting the rules. It's not a water sprayer, it's a water mister... But everything else you've said, 100%! Even a raspberry Pi would be great, use HDMI out for a display, and add a raspberry Pi CANBus hat to read values out from the ECU.
