Helloo everyone,

I recently created a new avatar that says "INSANE".. for those who don't get it, it's a modified NISSAN logo. Sorta like EVIL from LEVI's. I'm not sure if it has already been made or not, but this is something I whipped up late last night. PROMISE!

I personally find it humourous. Judge for yourself. :O

I was thinking of slappin it on a t-shirt for myself.. and thought that if anyone else was interested in getting one then that would be cool. We could strut around around town looking sharp, because WE know where it's at! :mad:

If you're interested gimme a PM or just add a comment. The design is still in progress..

It'll probably happen a little further down the road, I still gotta research how much it would cost and what not. I might even add the url of SAU aswell for abit of advertising. :wave:

Here are some samples I made in Photoshop. (and guys, I don't know the girl. she was a random pic i got from a google search.. but I can definitely see the attraction :P)

Hey Ash,

Yeah! I understand completely. I actually signed up as "kabala", sometime in December, then wanted to change my name as at the time I didn't know how to without changing my account, but the further I delved and navigated my way through the support links.. I found a way to do it - too late.

I haven't actually made ANY tshirts, I've only made the avatar that you see next to my name only less than a week ago, and that's just been photoshopped onto 2 pics I pulled off the net.

1. I guess I was advertising the possibility of a new SAU shirt. I know how much screen printing costs, and it wouldn't be worth doing 4, and it's definitely cheaper in bulk. I just wanted to generate some sort of interest and hopefully enough numbers to make them in bulk. Which leads me to numero dos..

2. I wish I was a business. But I'm not.. but if I was, I'd have some sort of link to my .com, but I don't. I'm a 21 y/o public servant with too much time on my hands.

The tshirt concept, was something that me and a mate wanted on our OWN tshirts, but more people liked the logo when they saw my avatar (sau/msn), so we thought perhaps if there was enough interest we could make them in bulk and any profits could go towards SAU/SAUACT (ie. a marquee/banner for ACTSAU, donations, web maintainence, stickers etc..). But that was something later on down the track, we weren't thinking about that just yet until the idea was set in concrete.

In the original post (ACT) you can see that I noted that it was something that would "probably happen a little further down the road, I still gotta research how much it would cost and what not..". I never took any deposits or gave anyone a price, just wanted to see if there was any interest.

I also Pm'd 2rismo asking him to have a look at it. I was trying to look for a merchandise link here, but it was pretty difficult to navigate my way around here.

Anyway, I hope this has answered any queries that you and anyone else may have. I love my skylines and the tshirt idea is something that, I hope, will inevidably assist SAU for the future.

I'm more than happy, if this is given the go ahead, to hand over my "ownership" of the logo so SAU can manage and use it accordingly for merchandise, advertising etc.. (at no cost, or course smile.gif)

I hope this answers some and more, for further info, PM or post a comment! More than happy to clear things up.

Cheers!

Karl.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
