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.

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?

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!

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
