I spoke to a mate this morning that has a stand regularly at the autosalon's (and at the recent MAS) about banners and car decals, he said they would be happy to do a semi sponsor deal, with the banners, signage etc...

As an indication his standard pricing excluding any sponsorship deal for full colour banner signs is $120 per quare metre.

EG: if the sign is 75cm x 150cm you'd work it out like this

7.5 x 15 x 1.2(being the square metre rate) = $135.00

Their machine can print & cut any shape we want. The only thing we need to do to the banners is arrange eyelids as they dont do them. They mainly specialise in car decals... and I spoke to him about turning Snowman's :) car into a lolliCop mobile for the next MAS, which he said no probs and would love to do a semi sponsor deal with us.

sweet... i can arrange the decal templates so it looks exactly like a japanese cop (all I gotta do is trace the decal template off my Tomiya R34 cop car).

Should be easy as... mmmm R34 cop car... However I'd prefer a black car to use as a cop car since the jap cop cars are black n white...

Shan,

Thinking about your cop car idea last night, I thought it you meant creating a "victorian police skyline replica cop car"?? As I think this would be a great idea & an opportunity for some great publicity for the club if we created a skyline victorian cop car. What do you think?

hmmm an aussiefied GTR? could work... in that case snowman's car would be ideal coz its already got that Highway patrol look to it with it being bayside blue n all...

Meshmesh - I assume you mean we have to put eyelets not "eylids" yeah? Thats pretty simple to do.

Yep eyelets... If you can do it, then that's great.

Are these the guys who had the sticker stand at MAS this year?

Yep, the company is called U C Y Power Image.

hmmm an aussiefied GTR? could work... in that case snowman's car would be ideal coz its already got that Highway patrol look to it with it being bayside blue n all...

Thinking about it now, a little suck up "resch_pect" to the cops, and thinking about jame's idea, I guess it would definately attract a croud and alot of attention, if we had my white GTR & Andrews Blue LolliCop, decalled up.

The only issue's I can see is, would we go to the extent of putting the red & blue light's on?? Perhaps we could arrange something with vic police about the idea in promoting the concept??

here's the mob i was talking about... $150 hemmed, grommeted etc etc full colour 2 foot x 6 foot which is $150 + shipping from the US.

that's 61cm x 183cm... Which works out to be $133.95 so meshmesh, tell your mate he's got a deal.

not to worry, my mate's uncle works in a prop shop and he can provide the cop lights :) however they're US style cop lights so :

Also i was thinking of a model dressed in this standing next to the cop car ;)

but somehow i don't see that happening

Snowie, you have to eat donuts all day too. (start now to slow you down for sundays race)

I'm just contemplating adverse reaction to a stand depicting imports running from the police...there are always people who will see the bad message of something like that, like we are endorsing antisocial behaviour and running from the conscequences. I personally think it would look great. Sort of, the only way the plods could catch an import :):D:D not that they could get their donut padded rears in the R34.

Mesh I'm not that smart, just bored at the moment, and you know what they say about idle minds and mischief

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
