Ok, so im stealing this idea from the r31 club, an idea which has been successful a few years running. They basically do a Calendar each year with members cars from around Australia, and cost bout $15-$20 per calendar.

So throwing the idea to you guys here, I would be keen to do something like this for SAU members - SA only though. Im gonna suss out a few places tommorow for printing, but if theres enough interest from people here, I will get you to submit photos and I will go from there.. It will cost probly no more than $20 per calendar im pretty sure, which is about what any other calendars sell for in retail shops anyway, but with our SA cars in it.

What yas think?

Yeah, pics alread taken, or what ever people want to submit to me. Once i got more details, Ill get people to start emailing me photos they would like to submit, and Once I have a fair few, Ill take them to the printer and come up with a design.

Once its in production / when I have a price, Ill get people to put a deposit, or pay in full even to order their copy.

Stay tuned! :laugh:

u should put up say 24 pics and get ppl to vote the 12 with the most votes could be put on the calender that way theres no bitching that someones car isnt on there and its the peoples choice

just my 2cents

yeah keep that crap drty2 1 off there, i wouldnt wipe my rear end with pic of that thing.

ive got pics of mine on air race track :laugh: also charmainy has some funky pics

charmaine, I might take you up on the offer of using some of your pics. Would be cool to have maybe a few group shots, like from cruises etc aswell. But ALL photos will be considered that everyone has taken, want to make it fair and have a wide variety of shots.

Kye, good idea but ive got a few ideas on the go, will run it by everyone after ive spoken to a few printing places.

Submit all photos to my email [email protected]

Try make them fairly hgh res if possible and decent size, will be easier to work with, but send me what ever you want, and how ever many you want - of individual shots, group/cruise shots etc.

I will try include as many as I can.. my main idea at the moment is that each month will feature a single car as the main pic, with smaller pics of others down the bottom (thats how the 31 club did it), and maybe one month of a big collage of cars.

But yeh, will run the drafts past you before printing :laugh:

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
