what about a sau calander with our sponsors advedrts on it etc im sure we can get a somthing together.

you can do this two ways

every month with a different sponsor on the page (( month))

or have each page with the one sponsor on it so they can also give them away to there customers or sell them.

just a idea and you can have two cars per mont and make the calander for 18months so that allows for the calander to be used and able to be sold over a longer time period.

<b><b><b> Make a Calender!!!!!!!!!!! I think there'd be potential even outside of our forum!!! I get royalties now though :blink: hahaha

Hmm, yeah, it's been suggested already, and is under consideration. It would take a lot of time and money to do it properly (and we wouldn't have it done half-heartedly), and it's still early days, yet.

GOOD NEWS, THOUGH: We have put order in for the first of our new products, and you'll all see it soon.

i was thinking a great addition to the t-shirts/jackets would be the addition of the username somewhere, either across the shoulders like the rugby/football teams or near the front pocket area or both. As i was at Calder on Sunday and was standing next to people who i knew online but it wasn't until we were introduced that we realised who each other was.

Good idea!

Would you people be happy with heat-pressed lettering either on the back or just under the SAU logo? It'll be cheaper than embroidering, and you have the choice of an arched design or straight across, as well as letter size being adjusted to match the width of your shoulders.

Any samples?

i really like the idea of a jacket having thwe username on it, i would definately buy one as long as it looks good! hahaha

i reckon have it designed like a real racing teams jacket covered with the logos of all the sponsors of SAU i think that would look HECKIT

Any samples?

To give you an idea, it's the same lettering you would get on a sports-style jersey, or one you'd buy at the end of year 12 or whatever... That's the lettering I'm talking about.

The SAU logo will still be embroidered, of course!

Not sure if you've seen the jackets yet, Michael. Have a look at these, the new batch will be exactly the same as these, even though we'll now have a supplier here in Sydney. Not sure what the go is with sponsor details, I'll discuss it with the other Execs...

Put hawt sau cars on it as well.maybee faded into the background somwhere.

I say go the racing team style SAU jackets and polo shirts with sponsors on it.

A suggestion for the calendar, possibly if we have another photoshoot of member cars we could have a photo of a members car for each month with sponsors being featured as well. The photographer being one of the sponsers we promote.

For example, if you can imagine an A4 type book opened and turned on its side and hung up, the top page would be the photo of the member car and SAU logo on the top of the page, with the member name and a few car specs, then the bottom page would be where the grid with all the dates would be, as well as a heap of sponsors along the bottom. Do ya get it?

The calendar would be an 18 month calander therfore you would need 18 cars to for the photoshoot (which wouldnt be hard to gather I'd imagine). And if there was more then 18 cars we could have a pair of cars per months, which would give you 36 spaces for member cars.

What do you all think??

Some of these ideas are great, but not really economically viable... Stuff like the sunnies, boxer shorts, ciggie holders, clocks, belt buckles and car badges would be great, but the set-up fees would be a killer.

Items like the backpacks, banners, beach towels, umbrellas, beanies, pens, and CD holders would be easier to get done, but, as pointed out below, we need to know that they'll sell.

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).

Tim, if you can find enough people for a group buy of the race suits, I'm more than happy to get them embroidered as part of a batch of the usual SAU shirts/jackets.

    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
