My fav Australian rag is HPI, mostly because they tend to feature Skylines a lot, and no North American magazines do. Favourite American rag would be Dsport, which is the last good NA magazine as far as I'm concerned. Some very good tech in there.

Modified magazine is a Canadian mag that pretends to not be Canadian, which wouldn't bother me, except they also feature nothing but the worst kind of cars. Another Canadian mag, Performance Auto and Sound, is garbage. Sure, there's a lot about sound systems. But in Chevy Cavaliers? Gah!

HPI is the best.

nah 123, the latest issue. It's got a race FD on the front.

ok, i might hav to go out and grab one!

I've got 100's of the Japanese magazines in mint condition that I collected over years of living in Japan..for the right price these can be sent to a new home as got loads more still to send over to Oz.

GT-R

Option

Option 2

Hyper Rev

RB Tuning World

Jap Drag magazines

Wat sorta price u lookin at per mag if i was to buy a few?

And any of the GT-R model specific editions?

the main problem with HPI is that if you buy regularly, and you get teh 3 for one issues all the time, you end up with 3 copies of the same backissues @_@

seriously getting over this myself. wouldnt mind some back issues of street commodores or something instead. i rarely buy street comms but it does actually have very good content and is a well layed out mag

Do you subscribe to HPI? I assume its not in the newsagents over there?

There are actually a few places that carry it. I'll have to subscribe eventually because the number of stores that have HPI here are dwindling.

Cousin in N. Burnaby gets it.

Perhaps a group of you (NAGTROC fans) should lock onto where you buy a stack of them each month? ... or better still, promote HPI, if you don't already?

Iron_Chef is a meticulous whizz at getting the right gear to you all!

I've asked Jason at PI if PI can put out a list that would detail every title of every back issue article. Perhaps even a CD in one of the mags. That'll depend on budget tho'

PI will be covering the 21st Anniversary of the R32 GT-R this year. Good on them!

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
