Hey Guy's

You either love 'em or hate them. But for the people out there that do like them. What car Magazines are the pick of the litter for Skyline enthusiast these days?

I recently picked up "Performance Imports" and didn't think it was too bad. I no the web has more up to date information but I don't mind the odd magazine ad and articles while sitting on the "can" lol.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Matt

imo PI mag is good for pretty pictures, the stories that go along with the cars are generally rubbish, and the tech stuff....Well Martin Donnon knows his stuff...but some of the other articles are a bit......well....to be blunt...wrong

Modified Mag from the US has some cool cars, although mainly Supras/WRX's/Evos

I don't mind PI, best bits are Kristians monthly column and seeing all the new toys available. Pretty much every car mag that does articles on a feature car follows the same boring structure. It's just 2000 word expanded shopping cart list, boring if you ask me and the writers should put in a bit more effort.

High Performance Imports (HPI) aka, Performance Imports will be my first choice.

Then it would have been SPEED Magazine.

It was out back in the early 2000's then stopped after a few years or so.

A copy of Auto Salon Magazine was given to me and surprisingly had some decent articles and car reviews.

Wheels / Motor / Hot 4's is all 'meh...'

I know you live in Qld, but for anyone who lives in Sydney, it's worthwhile going to Express Publications at Silverwater to ask for back issues of PI or even HPI for you to peruse in the front foyer > make your selection of articles (ie issue #s) that you want to save > buy any Mag for $5.

Hint: Take you time and treat the place like your own personal library! :rolleyes:

i dont buy them anymore as its all free in here but i religously bought HPI and Zoom 7 or 8 yrs ago. zoom usually only ran 1 or 2 skyline/VL stories plus everything else. was some good tech stuff in there and DIY`s

I'm tempted to say Zoom, I love the magazine, but Adrian the editor lurks on the some forums and rarely has a nice thing to say to anyone, especially if you don't know EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT CARS.

and he owes me a blow off valve, I had an article published and I supposedly won a $400 BOV, 5 chase-up e-mails and 12 months later, nothing.

So I cancelled my subscription.

Up to a few months ago, I'd have agreed with Zoom being a great choice too. The last 3-4 issues have really and very thoroughly disappointed me. I've forced myself to read them cover to cover because I've paid my subscription, but I find myself opening them up, flipping a coupla pages and being thoroughly disappointed.

I've been subscribed for years (along with HPI/PI), yet I'm seriously considering canceling my subscription of Zoom. If their editor is on these forums, I hope he reads this post and takes something positive from it.

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
