yeah but the original one has the province (SWAT is divided up into regions) across the bottom. The logical thing to do would be to put australia on it... or Australia in japanese... ie オーストラリア.

It'd look kinda retarded if a bunch of aussies rolled around with SWAT Kyushu stickers.

valid point...

will try and get that pointing to the subforum.

Any more progress with this....

I just tried it, says it is a shared IP address.

I am going to print some up before the weekend, and would like more time rather than less.

Thanks

Guys,

Whatever happened to this brilliant idea!!! I was thinking that we need to find someone with a high quality vinyl cutter (one that cuts individual lettering) so that this can be done properly. The effect we are after is like the one earlier in this thread on the back of that 260RS.

To make it easier one sticker that would suit Stagea owners for the whole of Australia would be cool, like this:

The individually cut out white letters would look awesome on our almost black heavily tinted tails....

All we need is someone/some business able to do this!!

I can get this done. Give me dimensions and numbers - i'll give you a price.

I'll be going the plainest one possible. Will look tough on an all black car i think. :-)

I'll get back to you later this evening with some dimensions, I should really do some work right now though.... :D

Umm, I just realised the small writing under the S.W.A.T probably cant be cut that well on vinyl. I agree with keeping it plain for sure, but I think the explanation of SWAT would be essential. Reckon its possible to do?

I was thinking about 30cm wide at this stage.

that can be cut easily on vinyl. Its just picking out the areas you remove that are difficult haha... but he can print ink on the vinyl, so that may be easier. Plenty of options.

More I think about the more I think cut-out lettering will not work.

The design above is pretty damn perfect, bar the white border, all I wanted was the japanese lettering for Australia (which I believe in romaji is goushuu) below the "Stage Web for Advanced Tune bit. I think we need someone to create an image file with the above japanese word in japanese lettering so it can be pasted in I reckon?

I tried to find it and alter the above photo but I'm just not good at this sorta crap.

All I want is it to look like this:

Which I must admit looks good and its not cut-out!!

i can give adrian the picture of what we want done, as well as a web link to here. From there he weill be able to print the exact design straight onto vinyl and cut it. It will end up as a mixture of printed and cut vinyl i'd say, to get it looking the best. The letters will be printed and cut seperately so there is no square border etc.

roomaji for autralia is osutoraria. katakana is オーストラリア. The actual name for australia, when written in kanji, is Goushuu, i'll try and find the kanji for it. I'll ask in the Japan section on here.

That'd look abbroad minded femaleely brilliant with some Japanese writing I reckon

I have no idea what that means :P

But i think it will look.... 'effective'...

Seriously, I have no idea what happenned there, all I wrote was:

"That'd look brilliant", as to that other crap, I dunno, but I'll leave it cos it looks funny. I may have said bloody?

I have no idea how that text could possibly appear like that.

Edited by Stage Name

The stickers were printed (for WA) in early December, and given out on a (SAU) run, that lots were turning up to, but never did!

They were also given out at a "Whoop Arse Wednesday" drag meet, and again at Wanneroo Barbagllo raceway.

The enthusiasm was so overwhelming that I only gave out about 5!! These are being proudly worn on some cars.

I will keep them in my centre console, for when we have a better turn-out.

If you guys in other states want them. I don't mind modifying the template, with whatever you can make out of SWAT, (or twat if you like!!)

Forget the japanese, unless someone want's to send me the text changed to a curve, and must be a vector file. If you don't understand this lingo, then forget it, cause it'll take up too much time.

The stickers are rated for about 4years are easy to produce, and I haven't charged for them. BUT, I am not prepared to foot the postage. So if you want one, either nominate one person in your area or PM me, and send a SAE, to my address and I'll send the stickers by return.

I can't see any other easy way. I wouldn't charge more than $5 each even if I was selling retail, and it really isn't worth the hassle, with exchange of funds etc.

Sorry I haven't posted the answer earlier. I have been busy sailing ..... my other passion.

OK after reading the whole post again, here is the goushuu sticker, altered as requested.

Please don't worry about the colours they have been colour matched to the original sticker and print fine.

If someone wants to give me numbers then I'll print them off.

The fluro green line is the cutting line, so ignore that too.

John

You ned a vector file for the kanji for goushuu? why, if its just being printed, not cut?

Pity about the website - any news on getting the stageasaustralia.com one going on? FunkyMonkey?

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
