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 won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
