Please remember, everyone, we want genuine ideas and suggestions here. We are slowly trying to help the club grow, and funds are tight. The more people we can attract towards signing up as SAU-NSW club members, the better our situation will be! And those people who sign on as members will reap the rewards of cheaper merchandise, as well as all the other benefits of club membership, as outlined here. The problem with some items is that there are minimum runs that we will have to buy before we can even consider them. One example are the thermal travel mugs, where the minimum product run is 100 - will we be able to sell this many travel mugs, or are they going to sit on the shelves of the SAU-NSW stock room and collect dust (not to mention the money wasted on a non-selling item).

Regardless, all ideas are welcome, and time will tell how viable each suggestion becomes!

As above...

Hmmm, not sure the sunglasses would be a realistic and/or viable option to do, but I'll add it to the list.

I didn't know how viable they'd be, as yeah, sunglasses are a bit of a hard market to cover for.

Does anyone have a link to the already available merchandise?

what about getting copy china intercoolers and putting sau logo on them, i suppose youd have to have neough interest to order enough to make somre profit, or even just not to have them sit there as mentioned, but there are a lot of people who want intercoolers, but china copies and im sure wouldnt mind having SAU logo on

The link to the current range of merchandise is here...

Please note, though, you need to be a current SAU-NSW member to view the link as these goodies are currently only available to members. We are looking to change this in the near future.

Once we figure out what products we will be offering to everyone, we'll most likely post pics of samples of the goodies we'll be offering.

Goldzilla, I'm not yet a member, but I will be joining very soon, I just need a couple of spare $$$ (Currently owing sister some money, plus christmas etc coming up.)

Cool, all new memberships are VERY welcome.

The more members we can get on board, the more the club can afford to give back to members...

And of course, all of the new products offered will be cheaper to club members!!!

gday im a new member and i just thought that if you guys want i can find out how much i can get a bulk order of stickers for due to i know someone that is a sign wrighter and i think that the sun shield is a good idea and to go with that what about a steering wheel cover and gearknob caver for the hot daysto protect them from the sun.

Made some enquiries today about the gear knob covers, and no-one I know has seen one or knows where to get one, unfortunately.

Sun visors/heat shields for the front windscreen are currently being researched further, as are the stubby holders/beer coolers. Also looking at steering wheel covers as an alternative to the full windscreen sun visors, we'll see what happens...

:P

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
