As read on NissanSilvia, Express Publications, aka the people who run HPI, Fast Fours, Hot4's, Street Commodore, Zoom etc have made their editor's redundant..

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...4&hl=hot+4s

This thread on NS.com was from Late July this year, but deadline has come.. December Issue has been released. . Legit information or not ?

Did a search on here, and couldnt find anything.. The only reason im concerned is cause' of HPI, i love that mag with a passion!

If they start changing the style of the magazine and the content in it, new editors = change!

I dont want HPI to change!

Just thought i'd let you guys know since i didnt find anything on here ..

Thoughts?

That might explain the late release of some of those over the past month or 2, HPI has been a little late and autosalon was extremely late, although not in your list of mags.

i hope they both still run cos i buy those 2 religeously (should just get a damn subscription)

Maybe the change will be good, but i still dont like the sounds of it .. HPI aint that bad..

They say that they prepare the articles and what not 3 months before they hit the shelves.. So i dunno' why the late release of HPI.. Yeah autosalon i think they have a different pulication..

My mate is the editor of HPI and the posted information is correct - his job is still safe though :P

And FYI, the lead time from writing an article to print is about 3 to 4 months... their printing is actually done overseas last time I checked.

Yes, Jason is the editor I'm talking about... as he was the previous editor for Hot4s as well, I'd put money on it that E.P. will just give him more work (hopefully jacking up his salary too).

Jason = awesome writer

Express Publications have a ...

i) Marketing Section

ii) Sales Section

iii) Business and Accounting Section

all connected and headed via the 3 Ve*la brothers.

They run a very very tight ship and what they need is...

a) loyalty from the advertisers (who in turn need to generate a good turnover in sales) and

b) magazine sales from as many newsagents as poss.

Fact:-

1) not all newsagents stock these mags

2) some newsagents won't get these mags in unless there's enough demand

Summary:-

I'm not privy to what goes on in their board room of late, but I can only surmise that the Ve*la brothers may also be concerned about a diminishing market. But what they also have to be concerned about is, that if they make a wrong decision, some other group (such as PCA) may take them over and run with it.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
