yeah but the original one has the province (SWAT is divided up into regions) across the bottom. The logical thing to do would be to put australia on it... or Australia in japanese... ie オーストラリア.

It'd look kinda retarded if a bunch of aussies rolled around with SWAT Kyushu stickers.

valid point...

will try and get that pointing to the subforum.

Any more progress with this....

I just tried it, says it is a shared IP address.

I am going to print some up before the weekend, and would like more time rather than less.

Thanks

Guys,

Whatever happened to this brilliant idea!!! I was thinking that we need to find someone with a high quality vinyl cutter (one that cuts individual lettering) so that this can be done properly. The effect we are after is like the one earlier in this thread on the back of that 260RS.

To make it easier one sticker that would suit Stagea owners for the whole of Australia would be cool, like this:

The individually cut out white letters would look awesome on our almost black heavily tinted tails....

All we need is someone/some business able to do this!!

I can get this done. Give me dimensions and numbers - i'll give you a price.

I'll be going the plainest one possible. Will look tough on an all black car i think. :-)

I'll get back to you later this evening with some dimensions, I should really do some work right now though.... :D

Umm, I just realised the small writing under the S.W.A.T probably cant be cut that well on vinyl. I agree with keeping it plain for sure, but I think the explanation of SWAT would be essential. Reckon its possible to do?

I was thinking about 30cm wide at this stage.

that can be cut easily on vinyl. Its just picking out the areas you remove that are difficult haha... but he can print ink on the vinyl, so that may be easier. Plenty of options.

More I think about the more I think cut-out lettering will not work.

The design above is pretty damn perfect, bar the white border, all I wanted was the japanese lettering for Australia (which I believe in romaji is goushuu) below the "Stage Web for Advanced Tune bit. I think we need someone to create an image file with the above japanese word in japanese lettering so it can be pasted in I reckon?

I tried to find it and alter the above photo but I'm just not good at this sorta crap.

All I want is it to look like this:

Which I must admit looks good and its not cut-out!!

i can give adrian the picture of what we want done, as well as a web link to here. From there he weill be able to print the exact design straight onto vinyl and cut it. It will end up as a mixture of printed and cut vinyl i'd say, to get it looking the best. The letters will be printed and cut seperately so there is no square border etc.

roomaji for autralia is osutoraria. katakana is オーストラリア. The actual name for australia, when written in kanji, is Goushuu, i'll try and find the kanji for it. I'll ask in the Japan section on here.

That'd look abbroad minded femaleely brilliant with some Japanese writing I reckon

I have no idea what that means :P

But i think it will look.... 'effective'...

Seriously, I have no idea what happenned there, all I wrote was:

"That'd look brilliant", as to that other crap, I dunno, but I'll leave it cos it looks funny. I may have said bloody?

I have no idea how that text could possibly appear like that.

Edited by Stage Name

The stickers were printed (for WA) in early December, and given out on a (SAU) run, that lots were turning up to, but never did!

They were also given out at a "Whoop Arse Wednesday" drag meet, and again at Wanneroo Barbagllo raceway.

The enthusiasm was so overwhelming that I only gave out about 5!! These are being proudly worn on some cars.

I will keep them in my centre console, for when we have a better turn-out.

If you guys in other states want them. I don't mind modifying the template, with whatever you can make out of SWAT, (or twat if you like!!)

Forget the japanese, unless someone want's to send me the text changed to a curve, and must be a vector file. If you don't understand this lingo, then forget it, cause it'll take up too much time.

The stickers are rated for about 4years are easy to produce, and I haven't charged for them. BUT, I am not prepared to foot the postage. So if you want one, either nominate one person in your area or PM me, and send a SAE, to my address and I'll send the stickers by return.

I can't see any other easy way. I wouldn't charge more than $5 each even if I was selling retail, and it really isn't worth the hassle, with exchange of funds etc.

Sorry I haven't posted the answer earlier. I have been busy sailing ..... my other passion.

OK after reading the whole post again, here is the goushuu sticker, altered as requested.

Please don't worry about the colours they have been colour matched to the original sticker and print fine.

If someone wants to give me numbers then I'll print them off.

The fluro green line is the cutting line, so ignore that too.

You ned a vector file for the kanji for goushuu? why, if its just being printed, not cut?

Pity about the website - any news on getting the stageasaustralia.com one going on? FunkyMonkey?

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
