Recommended Posts

STARE DATE: NOW

END DATE: WE ONLY HAVE TILL THE 23rd OR NOT MUCH LONGERTO GET 20 PEOPLE!. (if we do not get 20, andy has a buyer for these overseas, which will mean, we miss out or will have to wait to we can get more.. hopefully)

PRICE: $75 plus $2 postage (if you want insurance on the postage, it will be another $1.50)

ITEM: Stainless metal GTS BADGE (60mm X 45mm)

This is the first 20 badges, so be quick, this will take about 3 weeks from now for these to be made up and sent.. There will be a gtt group buy and another gts buy if this was popular :D

hey all.. i know alot of people have been looking for these badges, and i know some people do have some but they look cheap and the S is very badly made, well, a gts badge has been made, and nissan could not do beta!..

Be quick, because this price is a huge favor for us!, and andy is barley making any profit in selling them this way.. we get them for $75 instead of the $130 ish.. thats pritty damn god..

finally, a nice badge@..

oh, made out of stainless metal and has 3m tape on the back, measurements are 60mm X 45mm.. at the moment, these cost $130 each for a single badge.

UPDATE There are 20 test GT-T badges coming soon, so they should look good, there are pix through the forum from andy kain the maker of this badge... prices for those and the group buy soon

OK.. WE NEED 20 NAMES FOR WHO WANT THE FIRST BATCH OF THESE.. The order will be 20 GTS badges at a cost of $75 each plus postage, which may be about $2 aus post, ill check that and make sure they send out safe... so post the names and how many and ill get it started.. yay

$75 a badge. $2 Postage around australia

GROUP BUY WILL START NOW

sorry, no discount on buying more then one, this is due to, andy is stretching this already for this group buy and really not making money on this deal.. ...

PAYMENT WILL BE MADE TO ME AND I WILL NEED YOU TO PLACE YOUR USERNAME AS YOUR REF, I WILL BE TAKING DIRECT DEBIT AT THIS TIME.. when i have 20 people, i will pm each of you the details...

i am getting these shiped bulk to me, so we do not loose any.. i will be sending these out to people via aus post.. this has made the shiping from the uk alot cheaper due to getting them shiped in bulk.

yeah, i hear you... but thats what you get if you want good quality, and a metal badge.. these will be cheaper for 20 or 40 or even more, so 135 is the base price for one.. my aim is to get these cheaper for all of us, im going to take a guess of around 90 ish dollars for maby 30 or more... some silly ebay chrome badges go for $30... does any one know what the price would be or a original gtr from nissan?

Yeah, definitely man. I hear ya. I was just thinking, you know how in asia, how once you get the mold made, producing them is cheap as.

Last time my friend was over in china, you could buy gtr badges (look exactly like the orginal one) for about AU$3.

But yeah, i'll be waiting keenly to see what the final price is :D

yeah, i so know what you mean... just if we can steal this mould..heheh.. we could have them for 3$. that would be awesome.. :) . do you think if i took my badge to a cutter it may turn out cheap for us all?

Please read the rules for the Group Buy section and update your first post with all the required information otherwise this thread will be closed.

Thank you

now one wants to buy gts badges?. there abit of cash, but, look perfect.. and are originaly made and from the uk, thus being why the exchange rate is so much..

quality is great.. you can always buy another after the first group buy.. at least this way every one will get them cheaper to see what they think.. but they are very good

hey,, hmm, i thought that at first, but i think it may be the pictures.. andy spent a while trying to measure out the difference from a r to a s... the R is extra fat on a real metal gtr badge.. ill post a pic up of a real gtr badge if ppl need to see the difference.. hope that helps...

Br3TT. should i put you down for one?

FYI... The difficulty I have had with these badges were firstly the measurements as I needed them to fit onto a GTR style grill and the only way of doing that was with the measurements of 6 cm X 4.5 cm. Also you can design the best thing in the world ever, but there is always going to be some who dont like it, thats just human nature you cant please all of the people all of the time.

Also please remember that the cost is simply due to the high exchange rate between the UK £ and Aus $. This as I am sure you can appreciate is nothing I can do anything about.

This is the current exchange rate

This is a link to a GTR badge on ebay, you will see that the starting price is GBP £40 and although its a reasonable picture there is no scale, so someone could ask him the measurements

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
