HPI Issue 59 just lobbed in my mailbox and it's their latest "GTR Cheaterer Special".

I turn to page 82 and what do I see???

- Moanie doing her best to dig a hole to China with her back wheels, right through the track surface at WSID!!!

- Nitrous purge (poser) action

- Brad whiting out the sun

- TWOOGLE miraculously dropping into the low nines with a spectacular typo

- Triple G R31 Gearbox destruction

And much more.

Go team! :O

yeah, made it in to the GTR special edition no less! nice one :)

I heard that moaner loves having her picture taken and paid Ben Ellis to get some snaps.

Plus it has two of my favourite cars from this years Tokyo Autosalon on the cover. The Sauras 32 and the HKS 34.

Mistakes aplenty - Paul took a whole second off his ET, somehow my car now makes OVER 300kW.....hahaha....

Subscribers should have got it yesterday - The article on TWOOGLE looked great!

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
