Hey is it just me or has Speed Magazine disappeared from the face of the Earth? I haven't been able to find it for like over 2 months now, and I've looked in several news agencies that used to stock it. What gives?  :rolleyes:

"They taste like burning!."

Speed magazine ceased production months ago

NOOOOO! (In case you couldn't tell, I acually liked this magazine!) Well at least I wasn't subscribed to it, and ACP didn't send me copies of something like Cleo to make up for the rest of my subscription. Just like the last time one of my subscriptions ran out. What happened, they went bankrupt or something?

Never really read it before. What was wrong with it? I just never bought it because it looked too (how to put this...) um... well, if a magazine cover could protray an overly large ego and love of ones self, that is the impression i got from that magazine. It had an air of "i am the best magazine in the world i am awesome" so i never bought it.

So what's the story? Why does no one like it?

EDIT: I think it took itself too seriously...

i subscriped half year and for 4 months just received one issue.and some days ago i received a letter said i can choose motor, 4x4 or ralph...

Motor is always a good read, so go for that. Last issue had reviews of BMW M5, Aston Martin Vantage, Pagani Zonda and many other great cars. They love their exotics.

Thats cause it's target audiance was older. It was for people that can afford GTR's and mod them to decent levels. unlike hot 4's and other excel moding publications....

It's not that it took itself seriously or thought they were the best mag out, it was just aimed at a more mature audiance.... plus i found there to be plenty of humor in there... see back page comparisons...

EDIT: and as with the post above mine.... my g/f actualy loved reading it too as it wasn't filled with half naked chicks... we have internet for that people!!! :lol:

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
