Just an idea, anyone ever thought of collecting images of members rides / events and making a calendar? Could be state by state, whole of OZ or both. Could even chuck in a Japan section, some nice pic's in the Japan section... could even put some cars in also:D? It could be a good way to raise funds for the forum or independent state clubs.

I am the purchasing officer for my company (inventories), we have a multi-milion account with one of the largest printing companies in Australia and could get some very high quality work done for not to much $ - this option would also require a largish print run (at least 250 units, not worth it otherwise... the more the better) If people are keen I will front the purchase price and send out orders. Other options can also be explored.

If off-set is not going to be an option (numbers) I also have multiple digital contacts that could produce a good quality (not as good as off-set) product in small numbers 1 - 100.

Someone would obviosly need to do the artwork... seems we have some talented hands in SAU. What do you think?

It is interesting that this thread has come up, i have been toying with the idea for a week or so now, and have come up with a few things.

If anyone is willing to do this ill help as much as i can.

Funky mabe you could assist?¿?

Anyway here are my ideas, im not sure if i should have a car pic behind the dates or just on the top half, or both.

let me know what you think.

James.

James...

Your artwork is great.

It seems that this "idea" may become a reality.

Funky, would you be willing to spread the word on this one (states input if they are interested) and discuss with your SAU peers any red tape that may be encountered with this project + if SAU will offically support this project. Not so much financially if they don't want to... but some revenue will obviously go toward the clubs, forum if it is successful. I have stated in original post I will finance project if enough ppl are interested.

More artwork and concepts required!

Would be good if each state could produce a calendar to get more members rides on paper. It would turn into quite a catfight if only one calendar was produced (mines better, bigger, faster, i got more rice etc...)

I would think a poll submitted by members on who's ride should be included would be the way to go. If it's an annual thing it could be quite a prestigious placement between the SAU community and inspire ppls to get there ride looking good, going fast... whatever tickles your fancy.

Anyway enough from me... lets see what can be nutted out over the next few months.

FUNKY... with your and SAU's permission of course:D

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
