Awesome!

I really need to get some of these mags.

A friend let my borrow some of his Option Mags and I was like a kid in a candy store.

Couldn't stop looking with amazement.

It was just full of parts / upgrades / everything we want on our cars ;)

I might have to head to China Town and see what I can find.

Pretty funny that everyone's recommending HPI... I went through my huge stack of mags (mostly comprised of freerider mx, zoo and other mx mags) because I knew I had a few car mags with skylines in them. I found a HPI skyline special, the Z tune GTR is so gorgeous..... Found another mag that was a performance imports also, has a nice 33 in it.

That is if you in Melbourne and pickup / cash on delivery.

Kinokuniya Bookstore in the CBD (Victorias Galleries) have some. They are very pricey however, with a big markup over the Japanese Yen prices.

Still, silly me, I can't resist buying them... :whistling:

Yeah, one issue had about 20 pages of aftermarket parts for GT-R/RB26. Nuts!

Nice!

Check out the latest HPI!.... SAU are in it on page 74 ;) My car even made it in woohoo!

I find that you have to be quick with the HPI magazines as they seem to sell out first then the other mags.

And the magazine stand is left with Wheels / Motor / HOT4's / Autosalon... :dry:

:D

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
