Thanks for taking the time to design a shirt FriniK, but we're after a more generic and "simpler" design.

After consultation with quite a few people, it has been decided that a fair percentage of non-GTR owners would NOT buy an SAU t-shirt if it had anything "GTR-based" on it. That includes all silhouettes of GTRs, RB26s, or any other nomenclature associated with GTRs (e.g. Godzilla).

Personally, I don't understand it... As I don't think that you need to OWN a GTR to wear a shirt that says GTR on it... As long as you're a fan of the GTR, that should be more than enough reason to wear it.

But anyway, it has been decided to keep the t-shirts generic and simple.

FriniK that shirt design is awesome, well done man.

Since i wasn't consulted i'll voice my views on whether it matters if it has GTR references on it or not... I don't own a GTR but that wouldnt put me off the idea of a silhouette of a GTR on the shirt. I think the GTR looks much better so it'd be great for the shirt picture.

Take the current design out forward by FriniK for example. The only thing i thought may be controversial would be the actual model of the car and the RB26DET/twin turbo text.

Sure, it looks sweet, but maybe just keep the design as is but remove that line which leads to the hood of the car and have RB25DET written on the side too.

The other key issue is, what model skyline do you put as the picture? Just 1, all of them or none? I think there would probably have to be all if you wanted to keep EVERYONE happy, so that being said, maybe just the graphics without that car would be suffice.

Personally i think that if you are the sorta person who is keen enough to get one of these shirts/jackets; then you basically have the skyline heritage & loyalty in your blood & wouldn't mind too much on what model car/design was chosen in the end.

Just my 2 cents worth. :(

Dave.

i dont think it should be anything variant specific.... i.e. GTR's GTS-t's etc. NOR model specific i.e. R31, 32, 33, 34..

I reckon a more generic approach would be more popular..

maybe something which all skylines have... a distinct feature.. like the round tail lights..

or something even as simple as the "S" logo..

and then references to the website to create awareness etc.

Just my 2c.

Thats a very valid point, but i'm more like these people in that i'd rather wear something which applies more to my situation.

there is always one smart arse!

Heheheheheh!!! happy to be here!

Hey, I was checking out the Classic Skyline thread and thought.... What if the T-shirts or any of the other apparel items included the word Skyline in the different ways the Datsun/Nissan have used it over the years?.. no model mention, just..... SKYLINE.... after all, my fellow Australians, THIS is wot unites us....

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
