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!!!!

    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
