Want to remove the GTS25T sticker on the back of the car (on the boot lid), however I know it's going to leave a mark on the car as the sticker has probably been on it since it was born.

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good cleaning product that would remove the marks from off the paint, without damaging the paint work at all?

I'm a big fan of eucalyptus oil - gets stickers off the car sooo easy and leaves no residue!

Just dab a bit of it onto a cloth, press it into the sticker, in particular around one corner. If that corner comes up (with some gentle picking) peel it back slowly while wiping under the sticker with the cloth.

I'd think that over the past 15 or so years the paint may have faded a bit underneath.

eucalyptus oil damaged the clear coat on our last paint job....use wax and grease remover and wash afterwards with car wash.

In removing the body kit on my R32 GTR to facilitate getting at some rusty spots, I had to clean off the double sided mounting tape. It was recommended to me by a friend to use metho. Seems to have done the job. No sign of damage to the paint or clear coat either. I figured it didn't matter so much where I was doing it as it was going to be hidden by the body kit when it goes bck on. I would have thought metho would have damaged the paint. Seems all it did in my case was soften the glue. I still had to use a stiff thumbnail to scrape the glue off.

Cheers,

If you CLR on it for a little while u will completely rip off the paint. I used clr to clean my intercooler, even though i covered my front bar, i got some on it. And peeled the paint off

      Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)

      Given you already have the engine cross member to match and likely gearbox mount to. The SR20 has a head start on the RB in this case. They handle GREAT with an SR20, lots of fun.   One I did back in the day

      have no doubt and wanted too trust me and may regret later not necessarily worried about weight (would be 8 kg ish total) it was more the $$ to do it properly is about $6 - $7K in hardwear need long 310mm stroke jacks etc - plus install and call me whatever im not doing it myself even if wanted too cant weld etc  - thats $10K installed vs fraction of that cost while Ive spent some money on this POS I actually really dont like doing so unless its got a large chance to make me go faster 😁 hey in still carting this things around on a 15 yr old rusted open trailer so I can spend on racing not buy a new trailer to look better the manual jacks Ive had done are heavy and take space but are transportable and usable anywhere - taking or organizing even compressed air let alone nitrogen which is more whats needed coming from Perth to Winton or Sydney or the like honestly just adds to my brain headaches/ hurts of organisation also ha 15 mins job will get down to 2 - 5 min job vs 1 min job for airjacks - all tradeoffs I spose

      Purely out of curiosity, how do you know all this @dbm7? Do you work with automatic gearboxes professionally? This goes way way way beyond "I've had an automatic Skyline once and did some mucking around"
