Ok so here is the deal guys.

SAU will have a Merchandise shop coming in the very near future in line with the 10th Anniversary, SAU Nats/B'day party & a forum revamp…

For the online shop/merch – rather than have the designs created by someone who doesn’t really get what YOU guys want to see on a t-shirt/hoodie..

SAU is giving you the chance to design it yourself and in the process get a bit of cash for your troubles.

End date for designs will be Friday 04/05/2012

We are looking for the following items only at this stage:

3 x fashion t-shirt designs - Can be front only, or front/rear designs

1 x long sleeve shirt designs (for motorsport boys) - SAU logo or variation on left breast, incorporate the URL and whatever else

1 x hoodie design - Free range here, go as mild or wild as you like

1 x cap design - A good cap design is simple, but effective. Cap will need to have URL on it.

Cash that will be given out for designs chosen listed below. You will also get a free merchandise item that your design goes onto :thumbsup:

t-shirt: $100ea ($300 total)

Long sleeve: $100

Hoodie: $100

Cap: $80

For the Motorsport tops, please leave the sleeves spare. The plan is to put SAU Trader logo's down the arms for those that would like to come on-board. They will be supplied to whomever at a later stage once we decide on the designs.

So please get to your designs and post them in this thread. Christian will have the ultimate say, however there will be a 'shortlist' of a few designs, which will then feature in a Poll to gauge interest.

Any questions, thoughts, ideas - post them here. Please don't PM me, I get too many as it is smile.gif

End date for designs will be Friday 27/4/2012

I really like the SAU logo, we dont get it on ACT stuff but i think its nice with the red blue and white, and its got that GTR badge look.

New designs are a great idea, you will see all the awsome artists come out hiding.

For the t-shirts probably looking at 1-2 colour designs at the most.

Maybe a good photo of a car or engine bay perhaps for one.

Want to limit the colours as we don't want to make them too expensive to produce and then they become too highly priced. That said if the design is awesome then it could potentially still work.

If i get a chance i'll give this a shot if you guys would like. Im usually over at calais turbo (just signed up to sell some R33 parts) but i'd like to get involved somehow here, as i plan to get into skylines someday, im a graphic/industrial designer so this would suit me perfectly!

Idea for the back use a GIF image of all the SKYLINE models and SAU badge on front?

I was thinking this same thing, (have been looking for a good pic of a Skyline timeline etc).

Perhaps SAU on the front with Many diff models and have the web address on the back.

We are slowing getting somewhere now :D

I know a few other people are working on bits/pieces, hopefully they get posted sometime this week.

And don't worry about posting them public, that's the whole point.

Everyone gives input to improve ones design etc. If someone directly copies you it'll be rather obvious and they wont be given squat.

hey guys...

i've made up around 7 designs all of which can be put on either polo, long sleeved, or the hoodie.

What format would you like the pic to be in? also all the designs are just on a little t-shirt template that can be changed if needed.

also i will try to make something up for the cap aswell as a hoodie only design.

Thanks,

T

Timeline idea is cool,

I want a pic of a 32, others want there own cars too, timeline will please all.

A small Sau on the front right/left on the chest with the web address on the back across the shoulder blades in a long sleeve shirt, probably grey in colour with black writing and colored for the Sau.

Less is more for me, I don't need to wear a picture of my car to remember what it is :)

that cap looks really good id wear that, i also agree with whoever said about keeping it simple with something like luke gtr did. if you start putting pictures of cars on them they become less wearable for me. simple is the way to go... also black shirt with red and white writing will ALWAYS look mint :)

So here's my first post!

The idea behind my concept is the R32, R33 and R34 are the Skylines which were bred solely for racing. I feel slightly impartial to the current GTR because it doesn't have a H-pattern manual gearbox and is filled to the brim with tech (not that it's a bad thing).

In the same way, I believe the R31 is slightly too old and never came with a twin-turbo set up.

This was just a draft I did within a couple hours, I haven't touched Illustrator is ages and this was pretty fun.

Criticise away!

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
