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.

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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
