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!

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
