I hear there's a GT-R owner desperate to get some forward momentum on their rebuild, and their auctioning off a heap of AutoSalon mag's on a worldwide auction site that a few people have heard about. It seems the GT-R owner's views on what constitutes a good read many years ago has changed, and it got me thinking...What magazine do you religiously buy(or subscribe to)? I'm lead to believe, rightly or wrongly, that SAU'ers are a fairly learned group, and whilst the www. can provide a heap on info', the publication houses seem to hold their own. I hope there are still people that read off printed matter instead of screens for some of their time. I love a good coffee and the latest ish' of...well, I have a few, but I'm attempting my first poll post here, so let's see what happens. I'm not gonna say straight up MY fave's; some of may have an idea of what I like to read already. So...I want to know what the prevailing theme is within ACT SAU. Get posting, in between flipping the pages of your latest magazine, hopefully!

I used to buy quite a few mags but have stopped because I just wasn't reading them! They'd sit there in a "to read" pile and before I knew it, the next issues were out and the pile kept growing lol

I would still buy Speed if it was still around though...

Now I only buy the odd issue of HPI when SAU is in it, or someone's car I know is in it :P

I used to get HPI but now it's PI - I only get this for the Local Drift Content as Drift Battle went bust.

I can't read much Japanese but i also get Japanese Option and Japanese Drift Tengoku.

I'm surprised you didn't include Top Gear mag.

Did I mention that there's a GT-R that needs funding via AutoSalon magazine sales on a prominent online auction site??? :P Any A.S. buyers on here might wanna check it out...(Geez, now I'm REALLY scrounging for dollars..) :laughing-smiley-014:

Hey Jayce, I hear that K.Rudd is handing out $900.00 bonuses (just got mine this morning), maybe that will help get the GTR back on the road? :)

Nice idea, but Mr. Visa has already put his hands up for 'stimulation'!!! LOL!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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.
