Seriously - f*ck these guys. I have had it with their lacklustre performance. Would love to 'remove my subscription' - but as it is, I enjoy reading the magazine :)

Tried to order HPI back issues - as listed with shopping-cart and 'buy now' on HPI website. I supply credit card details - 4-days later am told the issues are no-longer available.

THEN TAKE THEM OFF YOUR F*CKING WEBSITE! How hard can it be!

Sorry to vent - but have had bad week. Car broken into, working stupid hours - all I wanted was some more GTR reading to ease the pain.

Magstore - thanks for making it suck even more ;)

I ordered a bunch of back ordered a few weeks ago and have had nothing in my mail box.

I just bought an R-34 and I ordered all the Project R-34 stuff, and now I want it!

Damn them. I'm on hold now to them, and I think I will be for quite some time as I was last time.

(frustrated) BASS OUT

I've been speaking to the web guy at Express Publications - they are having a 'meeting' on Monday to remedy the problem. Apparently the fault is with the HPI website. :cheers:

Doesn't get me my magazines, but let's hope they fix it.

Then they can look at the subs dept screwing up phone and mail subs - they sent me Hot4s for 3 months and not HPI, then to remedy - sent me the same HPI 3 times.

I had exactly the same problem. It's like almost a bloody month to get my hpi v6 to get here...

On the other hand my HPI subscription went as usual, so hopefully they don't screw that one up...

Where else can I buy HPI v7? Does jb sells them? Better to grab something off the shelf and pay it on the spot, you know you get the stuff, not waiting 3-4 weeks in the mail.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed

      the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box

      Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.

      I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
