I prefer Micks, but not fond of the AU going down the page. I would prefer the url to be in lower case, all uppercase is okay for the name, because thats keeping the standard, but all uppercase isn't easy on the eyes for reading (one of the first things you learn in publishing).

I've put it up in lower case for interest sake, will leave it up to someone else to decide if the AU should go or not. Do we have copyright on the background, is it one of our shots? We'll need permission from Justin for his photo too (if its one of his).

I think thats getting there, But I'm not a big fan of the SAU down the side, it looks asymetrical and out of place, when everything else is so symetrical. Plus we allready have it highlighted in red :(

Its definantly a good picture though, but where is the starlet? :D

We were looking at the general design, so it looks like the verticle SAU is out with 1 suggestion and 2 no's so far.

We will probably try for a more recent picture that includes a models R31 to R34. Would love a v35 or the new GTR :-)

Maybe if Bob who hangs out at Inline still ends up getting one like he said he would, we could convince him? Ill have a chat to him next time im out there.

Im also against the SAU going down the side.

I need to know solid info: dimensions, what everyone likes / dislikes about this one, what colours should be used, whether we need a more up to date photo, what background etc...

Its all good to have a thread about a banner but who is going to design it? Should we have a competition and all vote on our favourite? - Otherwise we're never going to agree.

Alsome Pic, man.

Vote one for that kind of pic on it.

My input is that the center car shoudn't be black. just puts to much black in the pic. My personal opinon. Would be fine if the side car was a differnt colour to

I wouldnt have that pic. To me it is saying: This is our club and these are the cars in it. I assume you'll be wanting to use the banner for years to some, and members come and go, and cars are bought and sold.

I'd prefer a more stylized design like some massive tailights, merged with a canberra feature such as the parliament house flag, merged with text that stands out.

As for the text, i would forget about trying to do the SAU thing... I think it's too distracting...better to make it easy to read and obvious what the name is.

Just have something like

SKYLINES AUSTRALIA

A.C.T.

and maybe the website somewhere.

I agree,

I also like the black one :D

What is everyones problem with black or dark????

Solid white or outline white lettering on a dark background stands out much more to the reader than the standard black on white...

Is anyone else going to submit something or decide on some dimensions?? Or am I the only person interested in making contributions to the design?

I like the black one of mick's too, but it would be good to see some test prints at about A3 size to get a better idea of how it will really look. A freind of mine is a graphic designer and would be able to give it a tidy up and resize for printing (both the test ones and full size). As with most printing, the more colours used the more expensive it gets; i don't know what prices have been gathered, but the simpler ideas are usually cheaper to produce and often look better.

Anyways, the style on mick's banner was what i had in mind when i came up with mine. The major difference is that i am trying to show the evolution of the skyline rather than just the best looking one (as if we don't all want a 34 GTR!)

I am putting my hand up to help out in any way i can. I would really like to see the banner up at wheels in march (hopefully tied to the federal tent so we are out of the sun again) let's get this ball rolling :blink:

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
