So I'm in the newsagent expecting to pick up the latest copy of Performance Imports magazine and my eyes scan across a magazine with a white KPGC10 Replica on the cover. The magazine is called Retro Auto (by Performance Imports). My jaw dropped, as the cover car is exactly how my Hako will look once finished (I want mine to be white, 'cause the majority of others in Australia are Silver).
As a serious collector of anything Skyline (mainly Prince and Hako) and magazines (I have every issue to date of Nostalgic Hero, Old-Timer, Australian Classic Car, Performance Imports and more) i obviously didn't hesitate buying this one. It is Issue 1, which indicates that more will follow There are some nice pictures of various JDM tin and a small writeup of The Classic Japanese Show 'n' Shine at Lakeside.
I will be back to the newsagent to buy another copy tomorrow, just so i can rip the centre poster out (Hako) and preserve one copy of the mag. In fact i will probably buy several copies so that i can give to some of my Japanese colleagues when i visit them in 5 weeks
A quick trawl on the net to find out more about the mag shows this small review:

May not interest all, but for anyone who likes all JDM classic cars, it is well worth the buy. Hopefully they continue the magazine on a regular basis.
Worth keeping an eye out for future editions - one would expect to see more Classic Skylines featured!!
