this certainly died in the ass quick... anyone got any contacts?

Yeah, so much talk from so many people who simply couldnt produce.

Left alot of us high and dry.

If they really couldnt do it why step up.

oh well,

Yeah what happened??? I have a S2 33GTS and the gts25t badge on the back is falling off. I know heaps of ppl who would be keen for these.

Was the initial idea to get a metal badge made up or just a sticker? I reckon a metal badge would rock, but it would be heaps east to get a sticker made up.

i can get it laser cut in stainless or whatever metal? just need good simple designs.

i could get the black shadow backing plate and a polished G T and S or red S ect?

it would be alot of time phucking around but i could get it done. how much are people expecting to pay for these things? :laugh:

I would expect say $30 tops .... if you did a run of 30 badges of each, I am sure you would sell them .... I want a GTT badge, not a GTS one (for an R34)

obviously there are alot of people who want these things,

Is there ANYBODY out there that can actually make these things instead of just gobbing off??

We all want them, so who can do it?

Who wants to make a bit of money?

Sik14, 30 bucks is a fair price, i guess, is this something you can do?

Look forward to it

:P

We need to be realistic when we think about how much these GTS or GTT badges should cost. Just Jap have genuine Nissan GTR badges for $95 and they are a mass produced product.

We would be looking at a limited production run of say 50 to 100 units which would mean that a price in the $100 to $150 would be required to just cover the costs involved.

This is if you want a product that is of the same quality as the factory unit and not a cheap dodgy brothers job. If I am going to put a GTS badge on my car it would have to be of the same standard as my GTR badge.

Why are we trying to make them when there are so many cheap versions out there. For me this is not a priority, so i cnbf looking, but will be interested in buying, if someone (keener than myself) finds a decent one for a fair price.

$100-$150 is rediculous :D

PS: Nissan also want $2500+ for a geniune R33 GTR fmic, will you also pay that price? :(

there are cheap GTR and Silvia badges around for $20-$30 that are every bit as good as the real thing (I have had them on my S15 for years) .... and that price includes shipping from goodness knows where, profit for the manufacturer, selling costs, then profit for the end seller .... in real terms they must cost well under $10 to make. I realise we are talking about different volumes here, but seriously no-one is going to pay over $100 for one of these!

If anyone can organise a GTS badge that looks like this one then count me in.

If you can make them look like this I'm definately keen.

Not really a fan of the ones around at the moment, the S looks too crap.

i'll take two (GTS ones) if you can get them made ...

PM me if you work it out!!!

i'll look for one of my autosalon mags ... the one with the wide body white gts in it ... he had custom gts badges ... maybe the person who did his bady work would know where to get these from?

You manipulated my artwork you terd...haha!!

yes, yes I did :( .... would you care to fix it up so the bottom T is 3D, and it doesn't look as dodgy as I have done? If this thing doesn't get off the ground I will just get some nice vinyl stickers made up with chrome edging and stick them on .... saves the car getting badged down the track too!

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
