This is going mildly off topic, and I realise that this isn't going ahead but I spent a couple of minutes properly aligning, resizing and adding to one of Autumn33's initial designs (see attached) so I thought I'd post it up. If we were actually going ahead with this at any point it'd probably be worth putting it out as a competition, as I'm sure there's a heap of people/designers who would want to have a go at this that don't check the forums on an hourly basis :P

I'm interested as to why it's a no go though? Is it down to copyright and whatnot?

If they don't end up getting made i'm just gonna write SAU TAS in window paint on my rear window. haha, not really. but still, it's a good idea to get them. Which skyline do you drive toffy? i try to remember most cars that come through,

Ok the run down on stickers is this: there is no drama organising SAU stickers for those that want them but obviously we cant just go and make up another design and include what ever it is just suit the Tassie section.

Personally a couple of the designs I didn't mind but the forum is SAU = SKYLINES AUSTRALIA and if you want to help support the forum then adding TASMANIA into the equation (again IMO) is a little silly and could/can cause confusion.

Having said that I already have some WWW.SKYLINESAUSTRALIA.COM URL stickers in black & white (pretty sure Funz still has one on his car???) and still have the design for the official SAU stickers kicking around somewhere (these have to be printer rather than vinyl cut so naturally more expensive) so I'll leave it upto all those that would like a sticker.

Do you want the standard URL sticker or the printed SAU+logo sticker???

Let me know ASAP and I'll get onto it :thumbsup:

Cheers Ben

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
