Fast Ford, Performance Ford **prepares for flaming :)

I am struggling to find decent ones here without cars with 20" chromies or cars from pre war. :D

I shall use this thread almost as a suggestion thread to go and scout out potential decent mags. :)

I'm into performance cars / race cars. I subscribe to Drift Battle and Austalian Muscle Cars. I love the history in old race cars and how they used to make cars go fast and drift battle because all of the cars in it are built for drifting on a track. As it's been said. 20" chromies and 10 TV screens doesn't do much for me. I wanna see them on the track.

Curious to know which magazine would be more effective for advertising

MOTOR is the best....but English.

High performance imports is the place if your thinking of ads.

Why do you have to be so far away from me?

Which area you from?

I am from campbellfield Ray.

Had a convo last week about an oil cooler installation.

Maybe i have more reason now to come and get this fixed too. :D

Look Ill make you a deal...Ill work with you to work on this car of mine. Same price as you would have charged normally.

This way I can stay the whole day and not have to catch a train anywhere.

:) Im afraid the gearbox issue would take few days.

Its pretty much HPI now Ray.

Speed was a great mag that unfortunately died :D

Joel might be able to give some other idea...

But if you wanna advertise, i'll come chat to ya about sponsorship :nyaanyaa:

Least you wont have 15yr old kids ringing you about getting some dose for thier mirage

Yeah, I definately want to do something with SAU.

I always find myself browsing HPI and wheels at borders in chaddy. HPI is better for imports obviously, but wheels is also good for everyday cars and so on. Depends on what you want to target - I found out about RE Customs from SAU.

how about other forums?

IMO the best mags out now are Zoom & HPI....i subscribe to both :D

drift battle can sometimes be good too...

agreed, i was feeling a bit angry that no-one had mentioned zoom. anyone hear that reads HPI, should most definately pick up a copy of zoom, so they can se what they are missing out on, its basically HPI, but more content relative to aus, with some of the best technical articles from anywhere. HPI and zoom i buy every issue (they have been probably the biggest part of my education), and quite a few drift battle, with some street machine/autosalon/speed(have quite a few since b4 it died)

anyone know why speed went under?

I really dont read any mags now save for wheels or motor

The HPI's/Zooms etc i've found to be mainly filled with ads and some very much inaccurate topics and feature cars.

I mean, reallistically you'd think the editors would get the article at least technically checked.

You should know when someone is bullsh|ting for an article... it certainly doesnt look so good when the print something thats pretty much impossible.

Its like me saying ive got 400rwkw from a pair of GT-SS.

Everyone knows its impossible. But hey, i'll give ya a dyno sheet that says so :sorcerer:

Yeah, I noticed that with Fast 4s and HPI, they slowly fill up with more ads and less content, but Wheels has always been quality

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
