Wierd request I know, but I need to borrow a GTR badge so I can take some measurements off it, and cast it. Would prefer an R33/34 (think they're the same shape) but will settle for an R32.

Anyone got one lying around that I can borrow for a week?

I just finished silicone casting some model pieces, and have a little silicone left over, so I was gonna give making the GTS and GTt badges a go. If I can get a cast of the GTR badge and some measurements, then I can mock up a clay GTS badge and hopefully cast it to make some acrylic badges.

Theyre not the same between R32/33/34

cheers bec n sarah.

yeah sunshine steve, ideally I guess I'd wanna use the R34 one coz its the latest design, but I'm not really picky. I know the R32 one and the R34 one are totally different, but I assumed the R33 and R34 were similar.

R32

Don't really see much diff between the R33 and R34 other than the fact that the R33 GTR badge has a deeper bevel. Wouldn't wanna cast the R32 one as you'd have to colourmatch a part of it to the car it goes on.

ceedub... R32's a little too different to the others, hopefully can get an R34 one, but failing that R33.

so bec and sarah... i can haz GTR bdjus?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
