Hey,

This is a bit of a random rant, but my dad bought me a copy of a Japanese publication called SKYLINE GT-R No. 3 (from what I can tell it's published by the company Hyper Rev or something along those lines).

I wish I could remember the Japanese I learnt at school! It's got so much good stuff in it. Profiles on all of the major tuning companies GTRs, a fairly comprehensive wheels section (each modelled on a lovely R34), as well as entire sections of car hardware grouped into relevant catergories.

I was wondering if there is any sort of English equivalent to this? Basically its like a magazine, but has heaps and heaps of information about Skylines! It's a great magazine (even if I can only look at the pictures), and I certainly have an idea of what wheels to get for my car now. I still wish I could understand the content though! I've forgotten most of the kanji and hiragana now :D Almost compells me to pull out my Japanese school books again :D

Oh and also on a totally unrelated matter, I just got 2 20cm Nismo stickers which I'm going to use one above my front left headlight (see PranKs GTR for reference). Does anyone know if I should do anything before applying the sticker, other than the obvious point of making sure its clean around that area (I have to wash my car - it's filthy!)

Cheers

For the sticker: use "Prepsol", it dissolves any wax and other stuff like that giving you a perfectly clean surface. It's what the pros use.

Hyper Rev issues: Yep, definately got yourself a good publication there. I won't argue with you, you get SOOOOOO much more out of... well... everything Japanese orientated just by being able to read Japanese. I have both "Skyline 25GT/GTS-t" Hyper Rev issues (cheers Evo_Lee) and the Hyper Rev 1989 - 2002 GT-R Memorial issue. Bloody good stuff.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
