As read on NissanSilvia, Express Publications, aka the people who run HPI, Fast Fours, Hot4's, Street Commodore, Zoom etc have made their editor's redundant..

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...4&hl=hot+4s

This thread on NS.com was from Late July this year, but deadline has come.. December Issue has been released. . Legit information or not ?

Did a search on here, and couldnt find anything.. The only reason im concerned is cause' of HPI, i love that mag with a passion!

If they start changing the style of the magazine and the content in it, new editors = change!

I dont want HPI to change!

Just thought i'd let you guys know since i didnt find anything on here ..

Thoughts?

That might explain the late release of some of those over the past month or 2, HPI has been a little late and autosalon was extremely late, although not in your list of mags.

i hope they both still run cos i buy those 2 religeously (should just get a damn subscription)

Maybe the change will be good, but i still dont like the sounds of it .. HPI aint that bad..

They say that they prepare the articles and what not 3 months before they hit the shelves.. So i dunno' why the late release of HPI.. Yeah autosalon i think they have a different pulication..

My mate is the editor of HPI and the posted information is correct - his job is still safe though :P

And FYI, the lead time from writing an article to print is about 3 to 4 months... their printing is actually done overseas last time I checked.

Yes, Jason is the editor I'm talking about... as he was the previous editor for Hot4s as well, I'd put money on it that E.P. will just give him more work (hopefully jacking up his salary too).

Jason = awesome writer

Express Publications have a ...

i) Marketing Section

ii) Sales Section

iii) Business and Accounting Section

all connected and headed via the 3 Ve*la brothers.

They run a very very tight ship and what they need is...

a) loyalty from the advertisers (who in turn need to generate a good turnover in sales) and

b) magazine sales from as many newsagents as poss.

Fact:-

1) not all newsagents stock these mags

2) some newsagents won't get these mags in unless there's enough demand

Summary:-

I'm not privy to what goes on in their board room of late, but I can only surmise that the Ve*la brothers may also be concerned about a diminishing market. But what they also have to be concerned about is, that if they make a wrong decision, some other group (such as PCA) may take them over and run with it.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
