Anybody can give me pointers to take out the Nissan logo in the rear end of the car?

I think all you need to do is heat it up a bit with a hair dryer or heat gun and then it will pull right off. Be careful not to burn the paint. The adhesive then can be removed with a product like Goo gone.
May not be the best way to do it, but I just used a hair dryer, some goo gone, and dental floss. Heat that sucker up and go to town on it with the dental floss... spearmint flavor works the best...

After you get the emblem off... there is gonna be a ton of double sided adhesive.... Heat it up and rub it off. It'll take forever and be careful not to rub your fingers raw... get the residual tape off with the goo gone.

Like I said, maybe not the best way to do it, but it worked for me.
I just recently did this, headed it for a little while with a hairdryer then used floss in a sawing motion to break the bond between the glue and the badge. The hardest part is getting the left over glue off without scratching the paint, after trying a bunch of shit I found the hotter you get the glue the easier it comes off the paint. I used goo gone but didnt really feel like it did that much.

+1 on the Goo Gone
I have done this once on an older car of mine and just wanted to add two little things:
If the dental floss starts to feel hard to pull through reheat the glue vs trying to muscle to through (idk if you can heat the glue and then keep the hairdryer pointed at it on a lower setting to keep the glue warm and soft)
make sure to floss as close to emblem as possible not pushing it along the pain
Hair dryer, dental floss, Goo Gone
Hair dryer + dental floss, a detailer removed the residue for me
Thanks everybody for the information... Where can I get Goo Gone?

Most supermarkets will have it on the cleaning products aisle; it's in a clear spray bottle but is amber in color.
Im doing this tonight, I do own a heat gun, is that to much heat on the paint, or is a hair dryer better?
If you cannot get Goo Gone, denatured alcohol on a clean soft rag will get off any adhesive without damaging the finish. That is the only difference between what others describe above and what I did on my first GT-R. This has got me thinking about doing it on Rosie 2.0 now.
