Sau Promotional Car?

[Style32]

Hey all just wondering if there would be interest in a promotional car for SAU, Nissan silvia have one and it seems like a great way to keep everyone involved with a build and see something that represents SAU out there. anyway throw in some input people it would be great to see what everyone thinks

[leech_]

would be a good idea but i think to much bitching about its location eg should it be in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane etc would occur. Plus the cost involved i am sure we would have enough people with the know how to do the labour so that would save on cost but still without some major sponsors it would be to pricey i think

[Mr. Oizo]

Because this isn't NS.com

Easier said than done unfortunately!!!

Do you have pics of this NS car thoughr - would be keen to see what kind of stuff you are referrring to???

[Style32]

interesting point but it shouldnt be about the location, or the time it takes its about getting involved as a community and creating something special, im currently in a very intense build with my own car, with flat out work this year it may still not be ready but its very exciting none the less. just a thought tho all input welcome good bad neutral throw it in here

there is a pic of it on NS ill post up a link to it when i hunt it down a bit later, simply stating "because we arnt ns" doesnt mean much we can take on some ideas from them possibly even learn something they are not the enemies just two different communities. anyway just thought it would be good to have some ideas for and against. keep them coming

edit: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=148515 thats the link to the thread a few posts down is the intended result, the other threads are about the car, current mods and where its at in terms of the build.

It's an S14.5 painted in Satin Chrome.

[Style32]

its not satin chrome anymore its a gold colour, looks quite nice the satin chrome thing didnt work out so they decided to work with something easier to spray

A SAU promo car would work, as long as its a state car, e.g. SAU NSw, SAU VIC, SAU ACT, SAU WA etc

By doing that local companies (such as paint shops) would be easier to line up as the car would be well placed promo money for them instead of having a car with their name on it on the other side of the country

Cost would be another big factor. Does anyone know how they bought theirs? was it donated by an importer for maybe........signage rights?

Definatly a good idea though

[Style32]

I believe that the site owner bought it out of his own pocket but many traders who support and use NS have contributed parts to the build. many if not all of the companies who donate or supply cheaper products to the car get some form of advertising whether it be on the site or stickers plastered over the car. there is quite a bit to read about it on the site if u get a chance, interesting stuff.

come on everyone SAU promo car

[krzysiu]

Which skyline would take the role though!!!...

Old school, 31,32,33 or 34 lol

Going to be some argument there

[Rezz]

So who on here sells narcotics? I nominate them to buy the donor car...

Its Loz's own car, with sponsors doing cheap deals or donating their parts/services in return for signage and build credits etc.

[Bro'Duh]

would probably be better if it was an r34 latest model

[predator]

R34 Z-tune of course..

Actually, thats not expensive enough.. silly me..

[ignuz]

Let's get Nissan to make us one!

And it needs to be made entirely of kryptonite!

[Style32]

It doesnt have to be the latest car, it could be any of the skylines, the NS car is an s14 with an s15 front, but mods are beside the point its an icon of the club. the idea of each state having a car isnt so bad but not very practical, if we have 1 it will mean that business' out of state wont get a chance to promote as well as others but it will still give many opportunities to those who can. i live in canberra so im limited in many areas anyway however we work with what we are given. just a thought keep it coming ppl i really wanna see how this could play out.

[paulr33]

unobtanium is more suitable

[Style32]

i thought of the perfect promo car a vl with an auto g box and a big nissan sticker down the side maybe even a custom vb can exhaust system, are u with me. yay or nay

[SKY33]

SAU doesnt have enough sponsors to start with.

Loz has dedicated a lot of his time and money towards the project...

So who's gonna do that for SAU?
