well most manufacturers charge per design (about 14 out of 15 when i was trying to organise caps). With usual minimum quantities being 200 (one guy agreed to do 150 minimum run but all the other were 200 or above). You can have colour variations in a design and it'll count towards the same 200, change the design and they have to reset the mchine which makes it 200 each.

the skylines australia can go on the side where the blurb about the RB26 on the original cap. I wanna stay away from putting anything on the back just so we can keep it as close as possible to the original design (plus it starts looking overcrowded if you have front side n back. I'd prefer side over back as well).

And yes all the caps will be flexifit.

if he was smart what he could do is get them all with skyline on the back and nothing but the SAU on the front...

find out how much it will cost from those shopping center hat embrioders to have VICTORIA, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, NEW SOUTH WALES etc etc embroidered on them seperately.

that way u could have LOTS of generic ones and either sell them at a normal price as is or do a decent amount in STATE form

hmm that is a very smart idea narkeh... so you're not just good lookin after all...

it costs about 10 bucks for that embroidery thingy. that's how much I paid to have my friend's name embroidered on her birthday pressie.

hmmm good idea indeed.

here's the mob in japan that sells the original GTR gear http://www.rakuten.co.jp/altia/422933/

its not thre GTR logo, its a derivation containing entirely different characters. I can't see why this would cause any issues with copyright.

Yeah i know what you mean, it would be a shame if they were all printed then some suits came and took them all. But i dont think this would happen coz the letters and layout have changed, so they got nothing! I like the cap idea, get off your branch monkey and arse into n/a gear!

just somehting I noticed how it was exactly the same order and size of an upside down NISSAN GTR sign.

if the victoria is smaller it looks ghey, I looked at both and it looks better this way if the VICTORIA is the same size as the word skyline in the original.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
