Feb 07 Option Mag, Jan 07 Drift Tengoku Mag, Jan 07 Option2 Mag, World Car Guide's Skyline Issue (Covers all generations of skylines from ALSIS thru to V35, specs, pics, reviews etc... by far the most comprehensive geneology of Skylines written) and R32 GTR Development and Achievements (Includes racing history, concept art for the R32, and various technologies that were introduced to skylines with R32).

KPGC10 racing history on DVD (w00t) and V36 Skyline review by MotorFan (includes pics, specs, comparisons etc on the new model).

hehe should make for a really big stack when the second package arrives in the next couple of days with 11 more HyperRevs :)

V36?? it looks like the Nissan Fuga.......

why the hell don't we get that gorgeous car here anyway........

hehe Nissan in their infinite wisdom decided it wasn't marketable here.

Its sold in japan as direct competition to the Lexus IS300, Toyota Mark X and BMW 3 Series

Anyways, some quick pics... I'll try and get a complete scan of the mag up later:

The ads are clearly marketed at guys in the late 20's and early 30's as a sophisticated car.

How much are you getting these mags in for? You can just buy them at Kinokuniya (Option2, GTR magazine, Hyper revs etc) but its pretty pricey.

I only buy GTR magazine now and its just gone up to $37 an issue (1400 yen cover price). I think option is cheaper.

Option mags are around 500 yen a pop and the motorfan one was 385 yen. Shipping is about 1500 yen per mag or something like that, depending on size n weight. So an option mag comes to about $25 delivered to my doorstep.

The Hyperrevs I did as part of the group buy cost $40, plus postage from my place to wherever in oz, unless you pick it up.

I also found that with mags n stuff the local shops only sell em a few weeks after they hit the shelvefs in japan (eg: Option mag Feb issue is already in my hands) and half the time extras like stickers or pullouts etc are missing.
