removing the rear nissan badge.

[baynz]

i know this was briefly discussed in another topic.

But i was just wondering how some of you removed the badge?

and just to double check that there will be no holes left behind the badge after removing it that will need filling and spraying.

any ideas or tips will be appreciated.

cheers

Heatgun is easiest way i would imagine.

i would like to know cause if there are is no filling or painting required for the silvia and nissan badge i'll take them off myself but if not the car is getting a little paint next week as some wanker strached it they can do it when repairing it

Heatgun/hairdryer + fishing line.

Hairdryer, its too easy to get carried away with the heatgun and could end up lifting your paint....

The only S15 badge with a pin is the bonnet lightning badge.

great where is my old fishing rod?

awesome news cheers guys, will get the hair dryer out then.

I'm thinking of getting the rear badges out too.. The nissan badge is ugly..But the silvia badge is good..

So..
1)remove all
2)remove nissan badge
3)remove all, then centre silvia?
4)keep badges?

I love the Silvia branding and think the Nissan badge is crap. I've even put the Silvia branding on my callipers

I myself prefer the bare ass look..

Those are R32GTR callipers. The lettering was ground down using a Dremmel stone tool and an ordinary drill sanding disc. Thoroughly clean the callipers, then paint them up with several layers of Hammerite. Print a Silvia logo to the right size, then trace over it on the calliper with a pencil, so as to leave a faint surface outline. Hand paint the outline with a thin brush and Hammerite.

ahh right cool, only problem is i dont have r32 gtr calipers, may invest in a set at a later date.

You can do the same with standard callipers. Its just that you'll have that raised centre block.

Ok. I didn't think I would be convinced so easy.

I just boiled up a kettle, tipped it slowly over the badge to get the glue all warmed up and then carefully eased it off.

3 cheers for the effort Nicely :thumbs: ... I like it! :smitten:

You must have removed the caliper to do that extensive job...?
