I dun even realise my subs to the mag expires, they didn't even let me know... normally I receives it mid month, now it's over the 20th of sept and still havnt received my oct issue... so I just bought one tonite merely due to my interest on XR6 turbocharged version and 2002 POCTY article.

Still considering if I wanna renew or not, coz my bro buys wheels and content is pretty much the same.... sometimes get sick of reading those two mags at the same time.....

What you guys think of "Speed", they've only got 2 issues so far...

2nd issue got that 600kw yellow R33 GT-R....... yummm......... $300K spent on mods.... I feel it's a good break from HPI & Motor since it's articles are a mix between import cars & local cars.

Hot4s got too many airbrush showcase n I'm not into airbrushing my car.... Motor is good, Wheels I found is like Motor wannabe, oh well...

i would say wheels will catch up to motor pretty soon as the old editor of motor (ged bulmer) is now the editor at wheels...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
