Please read the June General Meeting thread... It has much more of the discussion

End of the day - Nope is the answer.

You don't buy a Holden Executive, Mitsubishi Lancer hoodie and so on - You buy a HSV/Ralliart one, or you dont have one! :banana:

The Committee can't please everyone. SAU-Vic is on there, and there is also the URL... so ye.

Either way - discussions not for this thread if at all possible.

That's odd, I didn't realise this was the SAU VIC GTR club. I guess driving a GTS-T doesn't constitute driving a "Skyline" anymore?

especially when you consider that in Japan (yes, the mecca where all our cars came from) most "skylines" are like, 4-door family cars. When I went there a few years ago and I told my friend I drove a sportscar - a Nissan Skyline, she laughed at me (didn't know the meaning of GTR).

We don't live in Japan, we live in Australia where the Nissan Skyline is commonly identified as a sports / performance car. To put an Commodore Executive and a Mitsubishi Lancer in the same category as a Nissan skyline (in any of its varieties) is nothing short of a joke.

Contrary to previous statements in this thread, I think you'll find that the Committee probably could have pleased everyone in formulating a design, perhaps by ensuring that the primary focus remained on the identification of Skylines Australia Victoria (i.e the Club), and not on a specific type of vehicle that perhaps only 30-40% of the club actually own.

My understanding is that the Committee is an elected body chosen to represent the interests of all SAU VIC members (please correct me if i'm wrong). Regardless of whether you drive a GTS, GTS-T or GTR, we all belong to the same organisation, and presumably pay the same membership fee. My only argument is that if we are going to pay to be involved in the club, then the design of clothing / any other merchandise should reflect the interests of everybody, and not only a select few.

My intention in contributing to this thread isn't to start a shit-fight, but rather to provide some food for thought, particularly when the design of the next round of hoodies is being considered / formulated (pre-supposing another batch will be produced). I can only hope that my comments are taken on board. :down:

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi, just wondering if anyone knew what size (now that that sizes are corrected) would fit me - around 177 cm (5'9) and 75 kg. Hoping lots of other SAU'ers are those dimensions and have bought a hoodie to share their experience...

Oh, BTW, what material are they made of? Can you put them in the washing machine?

Thanks.

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
