looks pretty good. car is WAY too big and flag needs to bein a more front on position. otherwise its ok.....

We are a car club, thats why the car on the banner is large, because we are advertising that we are a car club... ;)

I like it as it is now with the bigger writing Mick.... just need to find a good pic, hopefully Tezza can help :(

if not, I'll start a thread in the General section, or photography section - someone on this forum will have a good hi-res pic surely.

we are not selling jap-spec r34 GTR's nor do any active members in the ACT own an r34 GTR therefore we should not be advertising the fact..... im not saying that i could do a better job, but your trying to make a piece of art instead of trying to make a simple banner..... also having a big black car will cost more in ink and the contrast on an image that size and dark in colour will be nil. you wont see any of the detail....

So I got bored, and I'm sick, so I needed something to do.....

These are just done from some pics I've snapped over the years. I kinda thought that the banner should have actual cars from SAU ACT in it.

I have big arse high res ones if needed, the text & colours can be changed if needed of course.

yeah I like that one best too

I like stylised rather than a photo :thumbsup:

I still like Micks though and I think it will look good with that black R34GTR....don't think it really matters where the car is from as it is just a representation of a Skyline, doesn't have to be identifiable as someone's actual car IMO..

Kids don't forget Texikhana is on in 2 weeks which means I will be in the national capital *hint*

If anyone can come up with a Bayside Blue or Black R34 GTR i'll do a shoot in Can-bra and give the images to SAU|ACT. :P They'd be full-res 8 megapixel images. :ninja:

Vote 1 Mark as banner designer, fair few good designs in there.

They're just chopped photos with some blending and text... The banner should represent the ACT, it should contain images of an ACT landmark (Parliament house, Telstra Tower etc) and of course a nice clean Skyline or two.

If the background is to busy or there are too many colours it wont stand out as much from a distance and it wont attract peoples attention as it will just blend into its surroundings.

P.S. Mark - I dont think that the design with me making a stupid face represents the club very well... :(

That sounds like an excellent idea Ian, thanks.

Perhaps we should organise a short photo cruise before Texi?

I was thinking we could do something on the Saturday afternoon - 4pm onwards as that is the better time in regards to light levels,

We can do outside Kevin Rudd's workplace or this other place that i've found on google maps here

Your call guys.:(

I know that, ie the top is one layer, as is the bottom or they are both the same layer, and overlayed on each photo, even so I'm just saying they are good subject matter and good pics, so are yours.

    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
    • They also make them with the motor mounted on the side
