Firstly, thank you to all those who nominated thier cars for the calendar. Unfortunately not everyone can fit in.

I would like to invite everyone who IS NOT listed below to attend a get together (TBC). We'll take individual shots of your cars, and put them together INSIDE THE FRONT COVER.

This way your car will still be in the Calendar!!!

Please don't say "Fu<k you, if I'm not on a page to myself then I'm not gonna be in it all"

Remember that there'll probably be a new calendar late next year, and we'll use entirely different cars. You will have been on the forums (in the club) a whole year longer, and have heaps more mods by then.

The Cars/members below have been chosen due to their length of time on the forums, regular attendance at events (official and unofficial) and some have been thrown in due to the uniqueness of their car.

I believe all except 1, are full members of SAU QLD.

Preliminary list of pages.

Inside Cover - Individual shots of "Everyone Else"

1. Mud - DONE

2. V8SkylineMan, Alfadog - DONE

cool. Very cool. Just a thought, though i don't want to bring the tone of this down, but maybe with a view to moving units etc... what do you think of promo girls?

I mean either way, I'm still going to purchase a couple and so will most of us, but to sell it on to other people (lets face it, predominantly guys) would this enhance our marketability?

Though then this begs more questions, where do we find the girls, the money for the girls thus increasing the number of units that need to be shifted to break even.

I'm not sold on the idea that we need girls, but i told an ex gf about the calender and she asked are we going to have girls to help sell it, so i thought I'd post it up see what you thought.

cheers, and thanks to Mud for all the effort he's putting in.

Mud's stated there would be no chicks/promo girls in the calander which is understandable. From a marketing point of view, it may come in handy but in the end, the calander would then be brought for the pure purpose of the guys wanting to see the chicks in the calander and not the actual skylines themselves.

In the end, the calander comes down to the skylines being pictured throughout the calander and that is our main sole of this forum - the skyline. We envy them with our lives and I think I would speak for most of us skyline owners.... anyone who dare bags or disowns a skyline in hatred, they'll probably end up regretting what they say to another skyline owner.

i think its only being sold to SAU members or something like that.

I thought its being sold to anyone now who wants one cause SAUQLD couldnt get enough interest in it just from the members. Hence why MUD brought it out to the public's interest of non-SAUQLD members as well.

It is for anyone to purchase.

However, it is not going to be on every newstand across QLD, only for sale through the forums.

Therefore the people who come accross it for sale will be Skyline enthusiasts, and will be buying it for the car content.

Plus we'd need to produce 1000's which I don't have the moolah for.

How many are you going to produce dude?

If your after some help with some $$'s up front, let me know.

I just completed the success of all the whirlpool.net.au lanyards. Made just over $2,000 which more then half of that went towards whirlpool.net.au as a donation, rest going towards the next merchant product that im about to start work on.

How many do you think we can sell?

I was thinking maybe 100?

Those that have replied saying they'll grab a copy have said they'll have 2. I know I'll be getting one for myself and also one for a work college down south in melbourne.

If you want some help on where to get the calendar produced at a good price, let me know. I can also help with all cost factoring (as in pricing the calendar for the purchase of it, etc) as well as helping with providing some of the funds to get it off the ground.

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
