OK, I'm a shit stirer, (I don't really mind either, as maybe some people may feel the benefits).

So,

There are caps from Victoria (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=17617)

Shirts from WA (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=13333)

PROPOSED Jackets from NSW (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=15824)

ETC. . .

When is the (newly registered & CAMS affiliated) NSW club going to offer this sort of merchandise ?? And what will it be ?? Have you asked the members what they want or are you deciding on behalf of them ??

Or, maybe we need to go off and make it ourselves as per the the other States ???

And please don't tell me to be patient. . . . . . . . because I have been. (i think). I do realise that other stuff has been happening (eg CAMS, recruiting, stickers, etc) But, I am seeing the need ( read more members) if we got some shirts/caps/jackets/ and shit going.

What do ya reckon, (again, maybe there is somthing going on that I don't know about, but timelines would be good)

Cheers,

PS - I reserve the right to retract the above if I have missed a post/newsletter/e-mail etc outling the above aformentioned topic -

or whatever . . . .

Brendan,

From what i have looked into, we can only get stuff in bulk, and then to get it embroidered etc it will be a costly exercise but we need to make sure we can get our money back (ie 20 jackets @ $50 + $10 ea to embroider = $1200) and so we need to make sure we can sell all of those jackets at $60ea before we can go ahead.. We are currently working on a few sponsors, once we have them underway (within the next few weeks) we can start looking into merchandise, i need to find somewhere that will supply and embroider as we need them (or at least in smaller up-front numbers (like 5 etc)...

we are not doing nothing.

Christian,

My Sister works for Brother International (sewing machines) and is an embroidery expert.

I can get any small quantity embroidery done for free (more quantaties would mean that maybe to look at an organisation to do this though - (like what you have been looking at).

Maybe this may help getting things started ??

Cheers,

:(

Hehe just saw this post... I'm organising caps coz the opportunity rose. We're still FAAAAAAR from actually having a club organised.

We've got a psuedo commity atm and no president so yeah, you guys have more structure than us.

Plus the gear I wanna get done is for anyone on the forums not jus the VIC fellas, but since I'm a mod in VIC then I posted on there (that way I can remove the d!ckhead posts).

Our structure atm is something happens when someone puts their hand up and offers to do it (without having to rely too much on the others). eg: Melb Autosalon, Caps + Beanies etc..

If you guys are getting shirts and merchandise done and need numbers to keep the costs down let us (in VIC) know, we're keen and I'm in Syd at least once a month or so, so I can pick em up off yas.

It's just that nobody seems overly interested at the moment. :confused:

Firstly, congrats on resurecting a 1 year old thread :).

Secondly, as much as its difficult to comprehend, i have a life outside of SAU. I have not gotten the logo for you yet and I apologise, but please QUIT BADGERING ME about it! its driving me nuts!

If you want to organise a deal with the club, contact Dino as he is the club president now. Otherwise for forum merchandise, learn to be patient.

Christian

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
