If you dont come to regular meetings, you wont be in... save for special circumstances (ie. your from geelong)

Date: Tuesday 5th of April 2005

Venue: Bell's Hotel, 157 Moray St, South Melbourne (Cnr Moray St & Coventry St Melways Ref - 57, G1)

Time: 8pm Sharp

What do i need?

1 Pics of cars, or movie footage to give to Chris too colate it for our display.

2 Promo people. Anyone who has a friend/girlfriend or whatever that is interested in modelling pleae bring them along.

We need all of them there so i can go over a few things and work out just exactly what we have, and what we need in relation to the Ladies.

I might have a run of t-shirts, depending on if we get enough.

3 Car detail sheets. Paul will provide the critera (hopefull in this thread)

Please have a think about it so it can be filled out next week. We need a couple weeks to have these printed and laminated for each car.

Thats all i think.

See you all there.

cheers - ash

I have sent the PSD to Matt (gtrr34) and he should have it by now. The spec sheet has the following categories:

Engine

Interior

Exterior

Stereo

Power

Other

Andrew and a few others had mentioned making changes to the categories and changing Other. Which is fine, youll have to list them and give to Matt to change.

My suggestion was to change "Engine" - to "Performance" so that things like Suspension, Brakes, Gearboxes etc could be added.

and also to change "Other" to "Achievements". So you can list 1/4 times, how many chicks you've picked up in the car etc.

I'm modifying the Spec sheet psd template now... just changing the heading text for the different mod categories, different photo's, but the layout will remain the same.

I also substituted the "autosalon text" at the bottom with the actual autosalon logo which I stealthily ripped from their media PDF file :D

Does anyone have a hi-res raster or vector based design of the SAU logo with the big Red 'S' to add on the top?

suggestion for spec shett titles

engine: rbxxdet ,pod, zaust, bov etc...

handling: 20" bling blings, coilovers, stuts braces, big arse brembos etc....

interior: wheel, g/knob, fluffy dice etc...

exterior: gtr kit, roof scoop, LED washer jets etc...

stereo: head unit, 15" fully sik subwoofa etc...

achievements: 12.8@121mph, 228kW, faster than my cousins vl turb etc....

an with the pics you were after Ash, you looking for actual photographs of our own cars? photos printed off the home PC from the digi cam? or photos burnt to CDs?

what other items are still oustanding? matt how did you go with the psd? any other items not taken care of? ps i had dinner at the palmerston best parma ever for $17

its been voted number 1 parma on superparma.com we should move there :P

although ive noticed not many people have dinner at the new place

and they always **** up our order, weve ordered 3 times and its been ****ed each time

sorry to chat

If anyone has/can get a high qaulity version (.eps preferably) of the "Skylines Australia" banner (the one from the top of the forum pages) - PM me please.

I need it for the posters.

Ta

I still need this logo in high quality - i am not having any luck so far getting this.

If anyone can help, it would be good.

Also - the logo created for the top of the spec sheets - could i get that in an eps form - might have to use that as backup if the other falls through.

If anyone has either of these - let me know and ill PM email address.

RE PHOTOS: We are hoping to get at least 1 decent/nice photo of each car entered to display - if each person can bring photos of your car to next meeting it would be very helpful - CD preferably.

Also more photos in general for the slideshow

I have a hand full of pics of my car, two things though:

Can you do something with the plates to erase them, I can mangle them in paint but thought you wizards could make it look blank as aposed to something that has been defaced by a 2 years old grafiti artist!

Secondly can I email them instead of CD, only got 5 pics :)

B :Bang:

bec: shan had the logos and he said he was going to send it to me in one of the members threads but i never got it. find the thread and hassle him for it.

bepo: send us the pics (paul at dodo.com.au) and ill blur the plates out

ash with the stand do we have a layout of what we are doing with the car in the space we have or is this dune on the day?

that will come when cabin give out the allocations.

dont expect that for a few weeks yet.

positioning is always a last thing on the list

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
