oh and the only reason i have only used those images is because i was just using my images that i have taken(and no vic ppl with r32's have the balls to get out on track  :P).  

I did not want to use other peoples images.

James.

I will be on the track on the 17th (Driver Training Only) might go 24th also. Will have some nice pics with some luck. Also the cruse on 16th should provide some nice photo op's.

Sounds like the dream is being coming a reality! I vote for a national version.

Suggest getting a committee of interested people together. Involve a coordinator from the exec in each state (along with some financial assistance from each of the committees to underwrite production). Ask for submissions on the member forums and maybe get a poll together for the top shots?

Damn Kel, you got the good ideas dont ya ;)

As they say, up here for thinking.......... :idea:..... :D

I am in too, if help required organising.

Just secretly, would also like to see a non-skyline featured- a Zed perhaps?

:bahaha:

I think B4 we get to involved we should get some sort of official SAU blessing. FUNKY if you have looked at this threat please give it your blessing and we can start some serious planning.

Kel, you seem like you have some good work related experience in either marketing or something along those lines... please share whatever experience, skills you have (except wasting $$ - marketing ppl are good at that). Slim, JAMESW... offers for help will be taken up and greatly appreciated.

If over the next few days more ppl offer there skills and artistic talents toward this project this could be a fine piece of work.

Waiting for SAU blessing.. I will send FUNKY a PM tonight.

This is no personal cash cow... how much do you think could be made?... not much... it would be better for the clubs and forum anyways. We could have better events / social nights / BBQ's whatever all helped along by SAU kitty (from proceeds of SAU 2005 calendar) if one exsists.

If it all goes ahead I would try to get printing done for somewhere between $8 and $16 per unit (that's about as cheap as it could get for some nice quality print in the volume I think would sell... havent been here long...but we seem to have some tight (_o_)'s) and I'm sure that ppl are not going to want to pay more than say $20 - $25 for a calendar. Not much profit, good profit % but not much mula ya'll!

If anyone has good printing contacts that could do better $ please put your hand up. Even better if someone owns a printing co. digital or off-set this could be done at SAU mates rates ;) right?

I can picture a SAU calendar in my dunny, next to the phone and office at work... where else do ppl's hang calendars?

i can try to get it organised... even make it non specific, eg: use the winners of the art comp for each month as a pic page...

otherwise i can always ask my ex's modelling agency to come have a photoshoot with VIC's finest :D

Yep- I am one of those bad "M" people, but I promise I don't waste too much money on long lunches. :D

I do alot of work producing brochures and stuff so I can certainly help out with organising that side of things. I'm also seeing if any of my contacts in Syd can help out with a good deal on printing.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • 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...
