Sau R34 Banner

[m3gtr]

I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this is outdated, but I've logged on so many times and seen the silhouette of the R34 taillights and yet, all the hype, recent talk and factual eventuality of the R35 got me to thinking - that and I've driven both and i have to wonder personally - would SAU be better off changing or at least updating the site with the latest car on the banner?

I believe its time for the banner to change.

The R34 has to go... well, its tail lights at least.

The R35 is the logical successor and i don't believe i will hear many arguments against this point of view - definitely not from any SAU member worth a grain of GTR salt thats for sure.

So...

Let's put this to a vote, shall we?

R35 ftw.

Good point Adam, but no.

I like the banner, from a bias POV, but on a general note the R34 is more 'representative' of this forum.

The R35 is still new, only a few of us have seen it (but yes it's beautiful), the hype is 98% media-based marketing and has hit many a nail on the head for Nissan.

Also, the ratio of forum subsriber ownership of the R35 compared to the Skylines would be like putting a hair (from the scalp you dirty buggers) on a meat pie and saying "ok, that's how many of us own R35's".

One last note. How could you put an R35, the Sydney skyline (no pun intended) and the bridge together in one shot, when it hasn't officially been 'brought over' yet? You might call it pioneering, or vision.

I call it premature ejaculation.

Omar, dude, its the way the car is heading - so why not change the flag to set the tone?

It doesn't matter if it hasn't "arrived yet" - there are plenty of R35's in Oz right now.

I think the banner should change simply because the R34 is old hat compared to the R35, fundamentally and technologically.

Simple as that.

yes, i would like to avoid the flames comparing R34 to R35..

Its simple, fundamental Darwinistic evolution to me...

I think the site should roll with that as well...

Its only a matter of time anyway, really.

If it were me, i would want the latest and greatest technological flagship as a banner for my site if the mains of it all were centered around a Nissan and with no disrespect to the R34 in this discussion, it just doesn't cut the mustard when compared to the R35.

hmmmmmmmmmmm ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm welllllllll NO!

[R338OY]

You're perfectly correct Adam.

Something that's been bothering me though...

It's called Skylines Australia.

The R35 isn't a Skyline.

?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

+1 beat me to it

if it was gtraustralia.com then maybe

but its skylinesaustralia.com and the r35 is not a skyline

[THR34T]

LEAVE THE 34 <3

[br3ndan]

I would like to see the R32 R33 and R34 on it!

haha... as they are the most famous of the skylines right?

R32 is the Godzilla... the R33, is the most popular and the R34 gets alot of media attention.

the current R34 was never put in the banner cos it was the newest model skyline.... it was just put there cos the designer had the shot and thought it looked pretty lol.... we don't have to have the "best" model there imo, just as long as we have a banner that looks cool

[Modena]

Less than 1% will own an R35 on this forum... what's the point?

[R31Nismoid]

I like the R34 with the background

This is Skylines AUSTRALIA, hell the GTR isnt even for sale here yet

[JAS-25T]

I don't vote for a R35 but I do vote for a banner change - something new and fresh.

[Black Widow]

I don't vote for a R35 but I do vote for a banner change - something new and fresh.

i agree..i'd like to see a new banner...but i can't see the point of putting the R35 in it

[JAS-25T]

Yeah and since the poll was loaded, I null voted.

[ITZTRU]

I love the look of the banner now. I don't mind at all if it stays.

However, if it were to change, despite the fact that i'm a 34 fan, a banner with all series of skylines on the banner i think would look pretty cool also...and yes, why not even the 35 included? May as well...skyline or not...i still feel like it belongs in the family

[WazR32GTSt]

should have rear of the V36 as the banner..

it still has the stovetop lights, and its the latest model skyline!

[DECIM8]

The R35 isnt a Skyline, its a GTR... Nissan said it.. Skylines australia 2 keep the R34

Edit - looks like im abit slow on the comment

I like Russians.

[-R33GTS-]

I reckon there should be an array of banners.. not just one. Nice pic but f*ck it's boring looking after a while..

I few combination shots with a set of the R series would look cool, Action shots etc.
