TRIAL have a whole site devoted purely to Hiaces. If you look at the thread above, the promo girl in the pic (the same pic used for my column too) owns the silver demo car...

Kristian,

I must say I do enjoy your column. I get HPI (or is it PI now?) every month and yours is one of the first pieces I read. Well done on the recent position.

I'd love to write for HPI. I envy you. I considered pursuing a career in Journalism, but fell into my current field of work. I'm a Town Planner by profession, but often think of what life would have been like if I had chosen that career. I digress.

Well done again, and keep up the good work mate, I can't wait to get my hot hands on the next edition.

Cheers,

Adam.

Yep "IMPRIMATUR" is a great read.

I loved the reference to Elantra/Accord equation that takes away the crust that keeps the eyes of the KANACs CLOSED!

(btw Linton, I can't seem to find my head anywhere!) lol

haha its there terry.. dont worry.. i forgot to send in my pic of you doing the big foot impersonation.. maybe next issue. :banana:

that kanac article was brilliant... i gave it to my mother in law to read so she will stop hassling me.

its PI now... i dont know why... seems a bit weird to me... HPI or High Performance Imports just rolled off the tongue better.

this is one of the best issues ever.

Hakosuka is best old school hero

Nigel Petrie's S13 is best silvia... it gets my vote, that thing is a work of art.

and there is a really good article about the 3x initial drift silvias.. which has a great line in one article that says something about "having 300kw and realising it was just too much, and rebuilt it to have 266kw which was much more controllable.." thats proper speak right therr...

That's why you keep copies of what you write.

That works unless you're writing for them every month, and don't know what order they're gonna print your articles in :( I've done through to issue 117 currently.

I was curious to know if any readers knew what Imprimatur meant...

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
