Just a tip - you guys are going to have problems with the Tassie maps for the most part.

Especially the "tiger" split. Creating it wont be a problem - however applying them to the actual car will be a different story as they will have to be a layered sticker, which also adds cost.

Some great idea's coming out though.

If we go with any gradiant or layering, they will probably need to be printed on vynal (like car wraps), and get them cut out with a vynal cutter. Makes a good quality sticker (my race car is done in the same stuff), but might get expensive with the cutting.

Who got the last batch done? from memory they knew more than one person who did it. Any idea on price options?

With the sticker you can simplify it and go all one solid colour vinyl, as long as the design allows it.

A layered sticker is more expensive to produce so keeping the sticker colours side by side is the best bet.

So the final logo must work on all these applications (vertical, horizontal also cheap to produce as a car sticker/decal).

with the grey tassie maps you can use a brushed steel vinyl if you chasing that look, but specialty vinyls an't cheap!

so where do we go from here people?

Probably wait for a few more people to post up, then compile a shortlist of peoples favourites and once we have it down to 4-5 different ones spread it out amongst the different designers to perfect a set of designs. I really like some of the designs above, but to make them perfect each could do with a few more iterations (i.e. sizing isn't exactly right between the different text, colour schemes are fluctuating slightly, same logo but different designs for different applications should be completed to get a general feel of how it would look).

This is the general process it would go through in a design house to get the best outcome, would be awesome to see it happen here :)

These last ones I got done I did them on the cheap. But they were still $3 each. You're looking at almost double the price for a propper multi layer vinyl cut sticker.

surely with the price of vynal wraps coming down it wouldnt be that dear to have them done on printed vynal?

i havent personly seen a layered sticker for years.

if a local company cant print them cheaply than we can look interstate. i have delt with 3-4 sign writers in launnin that are able to do what we want just the price varys.

i know a few years back that drifting tasmania got there windscreen banners and alike done by a victorian guy cheap as.

so id be looking to have a better quallity sticker and then find a place to do it at a realistic price.

good quality stickers will last for years.

so where do we go from here people?

On the first page I said we'd collect designs for a month, then run a forum poll to decide the winner.

If people stop submitting designes i'll put the pole up earlier.

  • 2 weeks later...

Looks like the designers have put in plenty of designs. So we can start a poll to pick the winnah, can the designers pick their top 7-10 designes (there was only 3-4 people that put designs in from memory), and we can get this moving

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
