What's wrong with big tits?

Apart from that, fast fours is the bottom of the barrel, though most Aussie import mags are. HPI used to be pretty good, but lately, all they seem to do is run stories glorifying their advertisers. Impartial evaluations would be nice, but when they have page fulls of adverts, then they ramble on about how great that product or car is in a story, it kind of cheapens the advice.

You think Fast Fours and Hot 4's is bad? Wait until you see the UK magazine called 'Max Power' this is worse magazine i have ever read!

I'll read HPI anyday.

Speed shut down because it simply didnt make enough money.

Tragic, cos I was lining up to work for them . My favourite mag ever.

HPI is slipping too, though too many are blind to it...

Agreed... SPEED was the best mag for sure.... quality cars and quality photography.

How bout a petition to bring back SPEED???

I just projectile vommited...

You might laugh, but some great quality magazines are based in the states and concentrate on Honda Tuning. Something like that should be released down here, Nissan's seem to be the weapon of choice for imports in Oz, but then you only get the dedicated owners buying it, none of the kids - so there goes your revenue.

Speed was a top mag, and Option would be worth it was readable. Hot4s is shocking, went through it the other day at the newsagents and some of the shit they talk is ridiculous. How to spray paint your mags, who the f**k cares!

Dog eat Dog...

its 'coz they figure people in the 'modified car scene'... or, more importantly, their target audience (15 or 16 year old schoolkids who could only afford a car if mummy and daddy bought it for them) are all sex deprived and couldn't get some if they tried....

I agree, even HPI's contents nowdays isnt as good as it was but Ill still read it over Hot4s anyday haha. I admit I used to read hot4s back in the days when it was actually a good read but somewhere along the years it went downhill, and to think back then I was thinking about subscription oh the shame haha.

I am really disappointed with HPI these days. I thinks its poor. All the japanese content, car comparos.... all gone and just feature cars stationary with text. I haven't enjoyed an HPI in quite a long time and I buy them every month. Latest 1 has 104 pages and I finished reading the content in under an 1 hour. Speed used to take days.

Don't get me started on SPEED. That was the best magazine ever published in aus. I can't believe it was not profitable. Shows australia is a bunch of ricers if 2dmax was more profitable..... I feel sick.

    • Kittens in first to claim dominance of the residence, then puppies later From past experience, the other way around can be problematic to say the least  Those weird "Dobby looking"  little kittens are not cheap....LOL

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
