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........

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
