SAU Caps & Beanies... just made a deal, any1 want one?


Recommended Posts

Just made a deal with a manufacturer that should see us all wearing an SAU cap for about $20 each.

Its made in the same factory as ecko (the gangsta clothes label with the rhino logo) caps.

The design of the cap is as follows: Elastic base rim (no straps at the back) 12x16 cotton twill sandwich cap with curved visor.

Here are the options:

  • skylinesaustralia.com in a marquee around the base of the cap.
  • big f**koff emblem in the middle on the front
  • any other design that will fit on the cap

Please suggest some designs which I'll then implement and send to the manufacturer.

Here's the catch. We have to purchase 100 of the fvuckers coz their minimum run is 100. (theoretically 102, but they'll give it to us for the price of 100).

please vote "I will buy" if you want one. Once this tally hits 100, then I will make arrangements for payments and then place the order.

Part of the money raised will go to the running of the forums. All purchases from VIC forum goers will get a certain percentage donated to the running of the VIC club. Similar arrangements can be made for other states.

I have attached the ecko cap that they manufacture as a reference.

UPDATE

OK here's what we have so far, we have about 80 odd requests for caps and beanies, so I'll put the order in, now we have to figure out what design we want on the caps/beanies. TO keep it simple we might just go with the same design on both.

here's a mock up of the cap that I made, any improvements/suggestions will be appreciated.

ye i'd buy one.

but when u say they make a minimum run of 100 - does that 100 of exactly the same colour/design? coz then we'd all be like wearing exactly the same hat. and at a meet that'd look weird. may as well all wear uniforms.

but yeh, put me down for one.

omg... caps ppl... I'll make inquiries about beanies tho... dunno if they make em, but they make all the ecko head gear and ecko has beanies... will find out

Put me down for a cap and a beanie too!

What about using the typical "SAU" with the lights on either side. I know we have used this logo alot, but it says what we are about.

The "skylinesaustralia.com in a marquee around the base of the cap", is also a good idea.

How about getting the Model of our cars at the back of the cap. eg: 33 or R33.

This is a mad idea, thanks Funky!

Don't think we can get personalised ones for each type of ca; unfortunately it has to be one design only (otherwise I'll have to get 200). Don't know what the go with the designs for the beenie and the caps are as they're clearly gonna be 2 different things.

Here's 3 designs we have atm:

A monogram block... r34 tailights with SAU under it

A block made up of the url cut up into chunks

logotext.gif

A straight line url, probably best suited for around the base.

Any other ideas?

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
