Heres a 15 second MS Paint special for you to look at Shan.

Kinda like the Nissan Symbol but instead of the silver circle I have used two red circles (tail lights) - Instead of Nissan I have put Skyline.

Extremely crap but you might have time to turn it into something??

Sorry Shan, i thought that that we were just discussing why that logo would best represent SAU Vic, and that a poll would be done (as discussed earlier in the meeting).

For the reasons stated by funky i too prefer to use the GTR style logo, but will be more than happy to "go with the flow".

If you guys don't mind, I'm going to stick my unwanted mug in here for a few minutes :)

Firstly, I think the above it the best so far. Well done to all involved in making parts of that logo, I think it rocks :D

One thing that you have to consider, is that "Skyline" is a trademarked word belonging to Nissan Australia. We (SAU NSW) have had to ask permission from Nissan Australia anytime we wanted to put the word "Skyline" on anything (e.g. Our banner).... You can't just add it to your logo willy nilly and print it up on all sorts of shirts and banners and business cards without seeking prior permission from Nissan Australia.

I personally thought that since they granted SAU NSW use of the word "Skylines" in our club name, we would have some sort of limited creative licence with the word to print banners and business cards and shirts, but Dino Brown (our new President who has been liasing with Nissan Australia) assures me otherwise...

So for now, I think it would be wisest to stick with designs that say "SAU" and not "Skylines"...

At the AGM that SAU NSW held a few weeks ago I suggested that we (or someone :mad:) come up with a UNIFORM SAU logo and shirt design that can be reproduced at any time for future members. The idea behind this was so we don't have 50 different "SAU" shirts, but ONE design that current members can buy and FUTURE members can buy so everyone is wearing the same thing.

I was going to further suggest a "Skylines Australia" shirt, as opposed to an SAU NSW shirt, so we could have national uniformity, but I don't know how you guys feel about that.

I really liked the design of the RB26 you guys had for MAS, and was going to try and do something with that for the shirt....

Thoughts?

well we have thought of uniformity in some of the designs, from the onset one of the requirements was that the logo work just as well without VICTORIA as it did with it.

As for the shirts that we had for MAS, you'll notice that we didn't include VIC in it, for the sake of other states wanting to use the design etc, and we'd be more than happy to order extra ones for you guys along with our second run (which will be revised with new generic logos etc.)

Also I'll be ordering caps and beenies as soon as this logo mumbo jumbo is sorted (around 300 one size fits all in 3 different colours, black white and blue) which I'm depending on the other states taking up as well to cover the numbers required for a minimum run. A previous thread I put up gave me a fair indication that 300 might not be enough.

So yeah I'm all for the uniform logo. I reckon the second logo in the image I posted would be great for general SAU representation, and where banners etc have to be made up per state the first one would be ideal.

By the same token, while it may not be cost effective having a state by state vcariation of the same logo (ie substituting other state names in where it says Victoria) will look cool too, like different subdivisions of the same club. Creates a friendly rivalry, and in case someone is spotted in another state it'll lead to wanton roadrage between state members.

not all of us own RB26's tho... i dunno I personally don't like excluding groups... like the R31ers, most of the time most of our marketing n stuff is done it seems like our club is a R32- R34 only affair.

also the RB26 and GOJIRA don't exactly symbolise anything other than a GT-R, we put it on the back of the tshirt coz it looked so damn cool :P where's B1?

re: RB26 silhouette

I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree... Just because you may not own a GTR with RB26, doesn't mean that you can't have a t-shirt with it on the back.

The RB26 is the flagship engine of the Skyline range, and it should be respected as such... You can't always appease everyone. Logo's aren't meant to represent every single option and make sure no toes are stepped on. What are you going to do? Represent every single engine option on all Skylines? As for feeling bad about not including the R31, where do you draw the line? What about the S54B? The C10? The C110? The C211? The DR30? They're all Skylines too, and have every right to appear on that beautiful banner you made of the Tommy Kaira cars!

Do you see what I'm getting at? Just because you use the GTR or RB26, it's not shunning all the other models, it's just a representative of the group! And what better representative than the flagship? It seems like an almost obvious choice to me? dunno.gif

Besides, I only suggested the RB26 silhouette for the Official SAU (australia-wide) t-shirt design, not for the logo :)

well I don't think anyone in VIC wants to remove the RB26 from the back of our tshirts :P GOJIRA is good. I was stating that its not the most appropriate thing to use for as a logo as its not generic, and also at MAS i got irritated by having to explain what the thing was (an RB26) and what the japanese word said :)

as for the image... look for the EPS, look on the Tshirt thread there was a link I think, else contact B1 for a copy of his work (it was his idea). James and I also have copies of it but I dunno where I put it :(

I reckon it'd look nuts on the back of a t-shirt, but this thread is about the logo not the shirt... ;)

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
