Please remember, everyone, we want genuine ideas and suggestions here. We are slowly trying to help the club grow, and funds are tight. The more people we can attract towards signing up as SAU-NSW club members, the better our situation will be! And those people who sign on as members will reap the rewards of cheaper merchandise, as well as all the other benefits of club membership, as outlined here. The problem with some items is that there are minimum runs that we will have to buy before we can even consider them. One example are the thermal travel mugs, where the minimum product run is 100 - will we be able to sell this many travel mugs, or are they going to sit on the shelves of the SAU-NSW stock room and collect dust (not to mention the money wasted on a non-selling item).

Regardless, all ideas are welcome, and time will tell how viable each suggestion becomes!

As above...

Hmmm, not sure the sunglasses would be a realistic and/or viable option to do, but I'll add it to the list.

I didn't know how viable they'd be, as yeah, sunglasses are a bit of a hard market to cover for.

Does anyone have a link to the already available merchandise?

what about getting copy china intercoolers and putting sau logo on them, i suppose youd have to have neough interest to order enough to make somre profit, or even just not to have them sit there as mentioned, but there are a lot of people who want intercoolers, but china copies and im sure wouldnt mind having SAU logo on

The link to the current range of merchandise is here...

Please note, though, you need to be a current SAU-NSW member to view the link as these goodies are currently only available to members. We are looking to change this in the near future.

Once we figure out what products we will be offering to everyone, we'll most likely post pics of samples of the goodies we'll be offering.

Goldzilla, I'm not yet a member, but I will be joining very soon, I just need a couple of spare $$$ (Currently owing sister some money, plus christmas etc coming up.)

Cool, all new memberships are VERY welcome.

The more members we can get on board, the more the club can afford to give back to members...

And of course, all of the new products offered will be cheaper to club members!!!

gday im a new member and i just thought that if you guys want i can find out how much i can get a bulk order of stickers for due to i know someone that is a sign wrighter and i think that the sun shield is a good idea and to go with that what about a steering wheel cover and gearknob caver for the hot daysto protect them from the sun.

Made some enquiries today about the gear knob covers, and no-one I know has seen one or knows where to get one, unfortunately.

Sun visors/heat shields for the front windscreen are currently being researched further, as are the stubby holders/beer coolers. Also looking at steering wheel covers as an alternative to the full windscreen sun visors, we'll see what happens...

:P

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
