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.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
