My missus just picked up a copy for me this morning at newsagents.

ITS OUT!

Trust me to NOT be able to distinguish the Chinese Newsagent's accent when he says "9th" instead of "19th"

I'm allowed to say that haha. :)

I think that's probably my real big frustration with HPI to be honest. I read articles about stuff and sometimes it's very much 'huh!? what are they talking about' and then realise it's about something that occured 6-9+ months ago - and it's only now that they're finally through to publishing stuff about it. It really doesn't give the magazine a very up-to-date feel.

Does anyone know if there's any plans to try and improve that? I've been a long-time subscriber of many years, and I love HPI (and Zoom) but yeah - frustrates the hell out of me with the 'lag' in the publishing...

Yeah as Paul said.

There's about a 3-4 month lead time for articles

lol I had fun writing my column for that one...

Your current Imprimatur column has a lot of meat in it Kristian - congratulations on a great effort.

One thing bothers me though.

How come you know so much about the Yakuza ? :merli:

Still got 10 fingers hehe?

Cheers man.

I couldnt be happier with the feature. The pics came out great. That full weekend I spent in my garage scrubbing and cleaning/detailing everything was worth it.

I even look pretty good, LOL.

the young fella would have been pretty chuffed to see himself in the mag too.

Awesome car to work on Bakes.

lol, we lived in Daikokucho when we first arrived in Japan, I later found out the whole suburb was inhabited by Yakuza...

...they also own most of the car auctions, so they turn up to keep an eye on proceedings every few weeks. Not hard to spot ;)

  • 3 weeks later...

The annoying thing about these mags is you spend sooo long preparing your car for them to make money selling issues and you they do not even give you a free copy

I had car back in 1994, made 6 different mags and not one free copy :D

Now Bakes, hurry up and send your GT-c's to me.

Can not wait to get them on my car :)

    • 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
