Does anyone have the exact measurements for center and placement of all 3 rear badges?

No, but the 370GT badge comes on a foam insert that lines up with the tail light so you can start there. Then use a picture for reference to get the rest. I think the Nissan emblem is centered under the backup camera and the center of it lines up with the 370GT badge.

I've seen several where the bottom of the Skyline lettering is even with the bottom of the reverse lights (the actual clear part, not the whole assembly). Those look pretty balanced. OTOH, many of the pics I've been able to find on the web are sans Nissan or Infinity logos.

I thought about taking the NIssan emblem off since historically Skylines didn't have Nissan anywhere on the outside of the car until the R34. But on the other hand I don't have any use for it if it's not on my car either so I dunno, still a little undecided. Could always put it back on I guess.

The R32 had a Nissan badge on the left side of the trunk and the R33 had a small one in the center of the trunk. But you are right about the grille- that had a GT-R badge. This got me thinking that maybe I could just pull the Infiniti badges off of the grille and trunk and put a Skyline badge on the trunk along with the 370GT badge. Hmmm... I think I still need to get a Sparco seat for the passenger side, but this is an idea.

Has anyone found Skyline, Nissan, or 370GT floor mats or a trunk mat that look decent in our cars? I found some 370GT that looked a bit cheap and one company that can custom make them, but nothing that really jumped out at me.

I'm going with just the Skyline and 370GT on the rear of my sedan. I'm conflicted about the logo on the grill. I like the Mt. Fuji, but Nissan would be more accurate. Well, I've got a while before I have the allocated $ for the black grill, so I've got time to think I suppose.

I think the mats are going to be the hardest thing to find. I wish PNW_IPL posted pictures of his mats with the iron on thing since that sounds like the best option right now. I was thinking about trying to make something like that myself so the dimensions would be correct for that little area of the mat but I haven't got around to it yet.

These are the regular "Infiniti" side sills, not the Skyline side sills. I have been giving those Skyline side sills some thought too. Then I just need to decide what to do with the grille and trunk. Maybe no badge on the grille and just "Skyline" & "370GT" on the trunk. I'm still torn on this as I like the Infiniti fuji better than the Nissan hamburger emblem and I also like the car being understated. I feel like having a Skyline badge on the car makes people expect it to be a GT-R.

Whoops. I glanced at it real quick and thought it was the right thing since the other search results were. Their SEO is pretty good I guess.

Shame the actual Skyline sills are so damn expensive compared to the rest of the badging. (I guess notwithstanding the airbag cover).

that's easy to find. I think I saw one for around $100. I have all the badges coming. I got all of them for about $140. I only need to change the door sills. I have the tesla screen going in

I regards to the infiniti on the clock?

I'm switching the innards of the clock to an OBD2 gauge, so I'm not worried about that one either.
