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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
