Just adding my 0.02c

Front - definitely go with SAU logo and afterburners with TeamTrackday underneath.

Back - maybe the 4 NSW circuits ( for now ) in a 2 x 2 format. Could label each circuit with location details and track length. Individuals can add their best times for each track inside the track outline with a permanent marker.... may get messy if you keep getting faster though.

Z.

Zane, to combat the messiness problem, perhaps put the tracks two-by-two, but leave a fairly large gap between the top two and the bottom two, that way as you say, using a permanent laundry marker you could stack times up, when you break your best time, add the new time underneath your previous best, with the date. Cool little memento for when you're old and grey. :rolleyes:

OR another idea that may suck,

Subtle club logo on the front,

On the back Nismo logo up top across back of shoulders,

Then the outline of Mount Panorama,

Alongside the track '91 '92 '93 in a vertical line,

Then at the bottom something like SATCC Winner 87,90,91,92,93 (are those years right im going off memory)

OR my preference replace Bathurst with outline of the Nurburgring, and for years replace with the years that the R32 and R33 help the production car records. Then on the bottom a stamp like logo saying "Nissan Skyline - Approved for Racing Purposes"

Merli just made me think of something.

How about a "Yellow jersey" arrangement.

For when the club starts more regular events. Say we nominate a lap time, and the person who gets within the closest window of lap times gets a yellow (or other colour) shirt.

    • @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.
