As the title says we have enougth to get a banner printed up with dimentions 2m x 1m. We can have as many colours as we want what ever design, BUT... The image MUST! be very high quality to print out at that size.

So far the most liked design is the Black R34 in the past thread.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ba...40&start=40

Now is the time for people to come up with any alternative designs, and hopefully much larger files.

I'm willing to say the best design (as voted by us) that we get by the end of the month wins and will then be printed, what say you?

I think 2m x 1m is too small - 3x1 would be better if we want it to show up at shows & things and shouldn't cost much more.

Agreed, time to narrow down on design and if we decide to raise more funds, at least we can work out our target and aim for it.

I also like the black one, but would like to see what it would look like with blue fonts instead of red (keeping the tail lights red of course) for comparison - I might still go back to red for final decision, but would like a look - an extra colour will add extra to the cost as well, but not excessive.

I like the Black R34, but I urge caution settling on one model [unless it is the very first ever model, but in the case of the ACT it is not relevant].

The banner needs to be very generic, you don't want to loose or disenfranchise owners of other models, remember this may be your only 'calling card' at shows etc and the general joe bogg will believe everything he reads [unless it involves money]. Not everyone that walks past the banner is going to enquire about its significance.

And I'd hold out for a 3 x 1, the banner needs presence, you don't want to look amatuerish with a small postage stamp one.

I wonder if you might be better off with a shot or caricature of a Bathurst winning R32??? in a ACT setting {it pains me to say that, I'm a R33 man}. Once again one model, but one the public remember maybe??

Great ideas.

I'll get a price on a 3 x 1 meter, but likely we won't have enougth for it.

I like the group shot from last years photo session, or how about we get a 32 33 and 34 together, and take some pics for the banner? (group shot)

Or post a request for some designs in the Photography section here. So good photographers and photoshoppers in there.

Things seem to be slowing down with the designs

So here's where we are up to

We have $279 in my kitty + what ever michelle has at her place

It costs $260+gst for a 2*1meter banner or $340+gst for a 3*1 meter.

If Michelle still has the the $30-$40 I think she has (could be wrong) I will throw in the rest and organise to get the #81 meter one done.

BUT.... I need an agreed design that is HUGE. It can be any colour or as detailed as we want it, but it must be MB's in file size.

We could look at this as well (additional to the banner)

Would need to check the quality Retractable Banner

Okay, so even tho the link is accurate, it wont work hmmm then try searching Item number: 250277717907, would probably go the larger sizes too - I noticed they also do banners.

If we can't come to some sort of conclusion as to what sort of picture can be used, then I suppose we could head out one more time for another photoshoot?

Maybe around sunset time? We haven't tried that yet.

Benjamin offices car park (amongst / underneath the concrete buildings), around twilight aint too bad either, theres overhead lighting, not sure if security would like it though, still it has potential. Also spotted one or two nices places to take some pics on the cruise to bungendore, ie abandoned railways stations, and other subject matter that looked interesting.

Here's my contribution... :P

I can do the same with any model of Skyline, I just liked the look of this one.

P.S. I had to save this as a JPEG to post it, the original is much higher quality.

That is exactly what I was thinking about. Probably with the new GTR in the foreground.

Say maybe have a small rear profile of an R30, R31, R32, R33, R34, V35, V36, R35 under the SAU on the left (as per Donnan's original idea)

It would be extemely hard to get a photo of all the Skyline models side by side, damn near impossible actually... I know that its possible to photoshop all of them together but it would take a fair bit of time and effort and I think it would look far to crowded and busy.

I think just having one car on it has more visual impact, perhaps we should vote on the most popular model?

I agree one car having the major visual impact, and the fact it has taken so long to get the banner to where it is, I think the R35 might be old by the time it's printed :-) If we print a R32 which would probably be a very liked car, it makes the banner/club look very dated already.

What I was saying about the rear ends of the skylines, was to have a small picture one under each other, of the rear of the car (The signature skyline feature - twin taillights). Have a look at the quick mock up and think the R32 is a picture of a r32 rear end.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
