Badges look sweet but what a get rich quick scheme. I would tell him hes getting no more than $80 a badge. Its just a badge and is not genuine Nissan.

i would agree.. im going to get them down as much as i can for us.. thats why numbers are going to be the best for price... remember though, this guy got the metal badges made up from a mould, which did cost alot of cash, and he only bought 20 of them.. for him to buy, these did work out at $130ish for him... when he made these he was not aware he was going to sell them like this, so he isent trying to get rich quick ,or me.. i payed more then 135 for mine due to it was one of the first mades... thanx for the people after these.. hope we get more.. ill hassle him for lower price for 30 badges maby at first...

people might see these in the future and kill for them.. in certian suburbs :D

Hello all :)

My name is Andy Kain, I own an R34 GTT and a R33 GTS I have been involved with Skylines now for almost 7 years, I am based in the UK.

Since owning my GTT I have been on the lookout for a decent high quality badge for my car and after spending a fair amount of money I found that most of the ones I had bought just looked wrong and cheep. So I set about trying to manufacture my own and you would not belive how difficult it actually is, most companies will not entertain me as I am not a registered company and as I only wish to order in small numbers (anything less than a 1000 is classified as small) the costs are huge.

Eventually I located a design and manufacture company who was willing to take on such a small contract and after much hard work we settled on a design (it was a condition of the deal that their CAD team did the actual design, at quite considerable expense).

Please know that I am not doing this to get rich quick, to be honest I have a well paid job that more than supplies for me and my families lifestyle and the main reason that these badges may seem expensive is simply due to the AUS $ to UK £ exchange rate.

I have agreed a price with SeriesII based on a qty of 20 GTS, so I will leave him to sort out the list and so on.

These are the best quality badges I have ever seen for the Skyline GTS & GTT and I know that you will understand when you actually see them. The reason that no one has actually done this type of badge before and generally just talked about it, is simply down to the expense of having them manufactured in such small quantities.

Cracking forum by the way :)

Regards

Andy

Hey Andy,

Do you have a picture of the GT-T badge??

Thanks.

Hi, I dont have a picture of the actual GTT badge yet as its nearing the end of its design process, almost ready to go to press, as soon as there is a photo available I will post it up.

I will have to check on the postage tomorrow, as it has been a long time since I posted anything to Aus. It shouldn't be much, though if you require them sent securely then that may well cost more, I fill find out and let you know.

Those who would like a badge please place your name on this list (max 20 badges, for this batch). If there are more demand then a second list will be started

Names below. (THIS LIST IS ONLY FOR THE GTS ONES) :)

1.

Andy - that's good that you've decided to source high quality badges mate - but you should get a fixed price and advise us how much postage will be and what forms of payment you will take etc. Upon receipt of the above information, I'm sure a few of us will buy.

Cheers,

group buy has started .. please post your name in this post how many and ill psot you on the list and will pm everyone once we have 20 to make payment..

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
