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!

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
