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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
