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?

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
