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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
