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.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
