Please read the June General Meeting thread... It has much more of the discussion

End of the day - Nope is the answer.

You don't buy a Holden Executive, Mitsubishi Lancer hoodie and so on - You buy a HSV/Ralliart one, or you dont have one! :banana:

The Committee can't please everyone. SAU-Vic is on there, and there is also the URL... so ye.

Either way - discussions not for this thread if at all possible.

That's odd, I didn't realise this was the SAU VIC GTR club. I guess driving a GTS-T doesn't constitute driving a "Skyline" anymore?

especially when you consider that in Japan (yes, the mecca where all our cars came from) most "skylines" are like, 4-door family cars. When I went there a few years ago and I told my friend I drove a sportscar - a Nissan Skyline, she laughed at me (didn't know the meaning of GTR).

We don't live in Japan, we live in Australia where the Nissan Skyline is commonly identified as a sports / performance car. To put an Commodore Executive and a Mitsubishi Lancer in the same category as a Nissan skyline (in any of its varieties) is nothing short of a joke.

Contrary to previous statements in this thread, I think you'll find that the Committee probably could have pleased everyone in formulating a design, perhaps by ensuring that the primary focus remained on the identification of Skylines Australia Victoria (i.e the Club), and not on a specific type of vehicle that perhaps only 30-40% of the club actually own.

My understanding is that the Committee is an elected body chosen to represent the interests of all SAU VIC members (please correct me if i'm wrong). Regardless of whether you drive a GTS, GTS-T or GTR, we all belong to the same organisation, and presumably pay the same membership fee. My only argument is that if we are going to pay to be involved in the club, then the design of clothing / any other merchandise should reflect the interests of everybody, and not only a select few.

My intention in contributing to this thread isn't to start a shit-fight, but rather to provide some food for thought, particularly when the design of the next round of hoodies is being considered / formulated (pre-supposing another batch will be produced). I can only hope that my comments are taken on board. :down:

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi, just wondering if anyone knew what size (now that that sizes are corrected) would fit me - around 177 cm (5'9) and 75 kg. Hoping lots of other SAU'ers are those dimensions and have bought a hoodie to share their experience...

Oh, BTW, what material are they made of? Can you put them in the washing machine?

Thanks.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
