i like the idea of the lights on the back, heres an idea, for those that own r32 should have r32 lights on the back, for those who own r33 should have r33 lights, and the same concept for us R34 owners out there :P

what do you think???

youd want to keep the designs as simple and with least amount of colours possible. simpler looks better imo anyway...

for 3 different lights you'd need three different designs which probably would cost more. plus you might end up bringing up the "i want GTR on mine too!"

fair enough with tha lights, but wot if u got a new model car? if ya wana display tha model skyline u hav but still keeping it simple would b easier to just state r32, r33, r34 gts, gtr or woteva u may drive ? other wise it will get massively crowded. wot would b viable is on the side of he hood or under neith ur nick name just stating tha type of skyline u drive ?

duno thats just my thought?

how about if we just give the option of having the lights or not? it shouldnt be that much to do cause its just circles , if you were to say, for example, put a skyline pic in the circle then the $$$ will go up.

i know ill be sticking with my R34's so its not too much of a drama for me, but jugz you do have a good point.

had a little play. there seems to be two camps? one likes plain but effective. The other seems to prefer something that stands out of the crows a little.

I gues there is occasions for both types of design so i played further with my plain design. SA-R = South Australian Resident

Plain and simple. can also have one large logo central front. i prefer smaller to the side...

Stands out a bit more. better for events etc i would think. people will actually notice this hoody and the advertisement would be seen more imo.

fair idea with tha SA-R logo/motto, tha flames on the second one though yeh, they r simple, its noisey yeh u want to stand out but ya dont want ya jacket over taking ur car u no ? n like most commented on my first designs things like our number plates clearly state were we r form, but neva the less i do like ur idea. did a quick mock of ppl 34 lights on tha bak and and SA-R front n rear, (hope u dont mind deant1) just an idea :)

but ur also right with 2 camps, at the end of tha day SAU members do hav quite a choice and since there wont b the ONE all same design everyone can chop n change if doable who eva we end up goin through to make these hoodies ?

you only have a choice because where not a proper club

if it was my decision which it isn't because where NOT club there would be a competition to design how the hoodie/jacket looks and ONE design

when joining the mousketeers do you think people got to choose the mickey ears and T-shirt logo they wanted NO a club means there is a standard set not i feel like this and oh i feel like that how does someone not in the "club" tell others apart if everyone looked different

/end rant

BTW i do like the effort jugz and deant1 and Vu have put in, i have liked 80% of what has been submitted i think i get annoyed with everyone wanting something different

i hope this makes sense to people and doesn't sound like the ramblings of an old man

perfect sense ! sumtimes its tha spoken words of an old wise man that stops the rambling :) joking aside though there is v gd point u made totally agree 110% :):(

a design competition would be good the only prize is Kudos though

could hold it for like 2 weeks you get 3 designs in the one POST (ie post has to be edited to add more pics), only people entering the competition are to post in said thread and thread to be moderated like the soup nazis kitchen. See what you guys think i know there are a few budding designers here more than what have already posted ill draft up a thread later with rules and we can go from there.

and after that people get to vote for whos they like the most the one with the most votes wins

i like jugz layouts personaly. I definatly think final designs need to be put to a vote.

My personal opinion is keep it simple, even to the point of no user name, as each top would have to have custom printing/embrodery adding to the individual price.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
