i'd chat to pk first, because at the moment your probably looking at $300 to $450 worth of setup costs and about $60 a top just for embrodery!!

to get the same logo on the sleve as on the front would probably not cost any more setup wise, but about $10 more per top for embordery (they can just use the same picture/setup and put it in a different location.

the places that do the work generally dont give a discount if you all buy the same style top etc, so it is possible for you to all get slightly different top depending on your preferance of style etc (eg. i hate hoodies... for startes what the point of putting stuff on the back if the hood is gonna cover it most of the time). the only discount may be if you get 10 done initially you get the embrodery $2 cheaper, but unless you get 10 at 1 time, you wont get that discount till you do a batch of 10 and from then on you get the reduced amount regardless of the order size. other than that the only price differance will be how much each top costs (jumper probably costs more than a t-shirt etc)

also, the logo should be on the right hand sleve imo (which i think it is in the diagram), just incase anyone can spot it while your driving your car :blink:

edit: also if you seach around the SAU site you will find heaps of places with the logos etc posted for people to use... search is your friend people!!

wats witht he setup cost?? if u gave the place for embroidery the tops and the design wouldnt u just pay them to do the job??

just an enquiry!!

well, they have to put your design into a computer format that the machines can understand, its not like they can just type it in or anything... its normally sent off to a 3rd party to get done as its quite a complicated process even more so if you start doing crazy things with maps and the likes! (they have to plan out every single stitch the machine will make for the design, the bigger the design, the more stitches, the more design cost, the more embrodery cost)

if anyone has seem my adrenalin tops, the setup for that cost $130 with $9.90 embrodery cost per top and thats a 5x3cm logo... imagine something the size of the map your thinking of.... eeeek!!!

so, chat to pk first!! all the relevant costs of the SAU logo and the url have been taken care of, as well as the font for user names. making it much cheaper to start from that base, i think the idea of the tail lights could be funky, but will cost probably $200 to setup with a $20 per top cost (these are really ruff prices btw, it could be much more or less)

if you people arent willing to chat with him, i probably can, as i think i know where he gets the stuff done currently...

i'd also be interested in getting stuff with nissan/nismo logos, but once again... more costs

Just a suggestion; how about the names, logo, amd url get embroided and then all the big funky stuff like the map gets printed on? Thats what all the schools do and the printed shite lasts for ages if its good quality

yeh i pm's him this morning!!

i think if someone can make say 3 designs and we vote on one that would be a start!! but i like vietorious's idea he drew! except with the lights url!!! im happy with that!!

thats sick!!!! i like that!! ^^^^^^^ i dont think we would need the SA as we have a map of SA!

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
