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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
