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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
