As those of you who have noticed the link in my signature would already know, I'm in the business of t-shirt printing.

I've been in contact with Christian (Prank) over the last couple of weeks, discussing the possibility of producing a professionally printed Skylines Australia t-shirt.

I am aware that a few SAU t-shirts have been printed in the past for particular events, such as this year's Melbourne AutoSalon. However, as far as I know, most previous SAU t-shirt logos have been transfers - not intended to last any longer than the event itself.

The proposed SAU t-shirts will be professional printed on high quality t-shirts. Ie, these garments will be designed to last. Unfortunately, this also means we are effectively limited to one colour.

The proposed t-shirt design (rough diagram only) is as follows.

Across the back (black ink on white fabric, approx. 25cm in length):

A smaller version of this logo (without the URL) will also be printed across the front right side of the t-shirt (approx. 10-15cm in length).

Each t-shirt will sell for around $30.00. This figure includes postage (within Australia) as well as a $5.00 donation to SkylinesAustralia.com. This price is a ball-park figure only and could rise or fall slightly depending on a number of factors, such as order quantity.

So, what are your thoughts on this proposal and design? Would you be interested in purchasing a SAU t-shirt at around $30.00 (which includes a $5.00 donation to this forum)? Please express any interest and/or post any feedback/comments below.

To give you an idea of how the t-shirt will look, I have attached an image of a t-shirt previously printed by tshirttext. Obviously the colours and design will vary, but this will give you some indication. Click here.

My preferred t-shirt wholesaler does not offer female fit t-shirts, but I could look elsewhere if you really wanted one.

Failing this, have a look at this sizing chart. A lot of girls who want a tighter fit simply opt for a smaller size.

Yes, I'd like to big up SAU by wearing a t-shirt over (up?) here in Japan.... any chance of dark blue/grey for us style concious blokes?:D

Is the design final or can we have a design thread for ppl to post their own designs then vote on the best? This is what we have done for the last 3 shirts I have printed for my other forum.

Either way....put me down for one. I'm just not a huge fan of the above design...too basic.

This shouldn't be a problem. Who else would prefer white ink on dark fabric? Long sleeve t-shirts will also be available, but will incur a surcharge of around $4.00.

I've never sent a t-shirt to Japan - any idea how long it would take and/or how much it would cost?

White print on black fabric would be nice (i'd prefer it too). White shirts get dirty too easy (or maybe thats just my bad habits).

A long sleeved shirt would be perfect for events such as drag strip and trackdays.

Put me down for atleast 1 shirt regardless of what they look like.

The design is relatively simple, yes. A second colour would increase the price of the t-shirt significantly. Keeping this in mind, feel free to post your own suggestions.

The final design must be replicated in a vector graphics program (before being transferred to a printing screen), so you will have to provide any fonts, etc., that you use.

Going by EMS postal rates, it should cost 600yen, or about A$7...

If you can send them to Japan, I'll pay whatever it costs. So pencil me in for 1x Dark blue with White logo, and 1x Medium Grey with Black logo. Cheers P1E!

hey guys - that above logo was just a simple suggested one by myself. We can only have text (i think, David?) - but feel free to submit any other designs that you think might work.

Christian

I think at the back side should have some graphics more than only texts, maybe just round shapes or else. A smaller version of the logo that you said it will be printed across the front right side of the t-shirt, this font looks not too bad and the URL would be or not, it's ok both.

waitin' for the final........

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
