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 :)

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
