Thanks for taking the time to design a shirt FriniK, but we're after a more generic and "simpler" design.

After consultation with quite a few people, it has been decided that a fair percentage of non-GTR owners would NOT buy an SAU t-shirt if it had anything "GTR-based" on it. That includes all silhouettes of GTRs, RB26s, or any other nomenclature associated with GTRs (e.g. Godzilla).

Personally, I don't understand it... As I don't think that you need to OWN a GTR to wear a shirt that says GTR on it... As long as you're a fan of the GTR, that should be more than enough reason to wear it.

But anyway, it has been decided to keep the t-shirts generic and simple.

FriniK that shirt design is awesome, well done man.

Since i wasn't consulted i'll voice my views on whether it matters if it has GTR references on it or not... I don't own a GTR but that wouldnt put me off the idea of a silhouette of a GTR on the shirt. I think the GTR looks much better so it'd be great for the shirt picture.

Take the current design out forward by FriniK for example. The only thing i thought may be controversial would be the actual model of the car and the RB26DET/twin turbo text.

Sure, it looks sweet, but maybe just keep the design as is but remove that line which leads to the hood of the car and have RB25DET written on the side too.

The other key issue is, what model skyline do you put as the picture? Just 1, all of them or none? I think there would probably have to be all if you wanted to keep EVERYONE happy, so that being said, maybe just the graphics without that car would be suffice.

Personally i think that if you are the sorta person who is keen enough to get one of these shirts/jackets; then you basically have the skyline heritage & loyalty in your blood & wouldn't mind too much on what model car/design was chosen in the end.

Just my 2 cents worth. :(

Dave.

i dont think it should be anything variant specific.... i.e. GTR's GTS-t's etc. NOR model specific i.e. R31, 32, 33, 34..

I reckon a more generic approach would be more popular..

maybe something which all skylines have... a distinct feature.. like the round tail lights..

or something even as simple as the "S" logo..

and then references to the website to create awareness etc.

Just my 2c.

Thats a very valid point, but i'm more like these people in that i'd rather wear something which applies more to my situation.

there is always one smart arse!

Heheheheheh!!! happy to be here!

Hey, I was checking out the Classic Skyline thread and thought.... What if the T-shirts or any of the other apparel items included the word Skyline in the different ways the Datsun/Nissan have used it over the years?.. no model mention, just..... SKYLINE.... after all, my fellow Australians, THIS is wot unites us....

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
