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.

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!

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
