I hear there's a GT-R owner desperate to get some forward momentum on their rebuild, and their auctioning off a heap of AutoSalon mag's on a worldwide auction site that a few people have heard about. It seems the GT-R owner's views on what constitutes a good read many years ago has changed, and it got me thinking...What magazine do you religiously buy(or subscribe to)? I'm lead to believe, rightly or wrongly, that SAU'ers are a fairly learned group, and whilst the www. can provide a heap on info', the publication houses seem to hold their own. I hope there are still people that read off printed matter instead of screens for some of their time. I love a good coffee and the latest ish' of...well, I have a few, but I'm attempting my first poll post here, so let's see what happens. I'm not gonna say straight up MY fave's; some of may have an idea of what I like to read already. So...I want to know what the prevailing theme is within ACT SAU. Get posting, in between flipping the pages of your latest magazine, hopefully!

I used to buy quite a few mags but have stopped because I just wasn't reading them! They'd sit there in a "to read" pile and before I knew it, the next issues were out and the pile kept growing lol

I would still buy Speed if it was still around though...

Now I only buy the odd issue of HPI when SAU is in it, or someone's car I know is in it :P

I used to get HPI but now it's PI - I only get this for the Local Drift Content as Drift Battle went bust.

I can't read much Japanese but i also get Japanese Option and Japanese Drift Tengoku.

I'm surprised you didn't include Top Gear mag.

Hey Jayce, I hear that K.Rudd is handing out $900.00 bonuses (just got mine this morning), maybe that will help get the GTR back on the road? :)

Nice idea, but Mr. Visa has already put his hands up for 'stimulation'!!! LOL!

      I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them

      For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.

      Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.

      So I'm confident in saying its TCS thing. My new cluster I never realized didn't even have bulbs in the TCS or Slip slots. Shining a light through the backside that black plate has nothing for it, unlike my original cluster. Looking at the service manual the only thing that stands out is TCS in relation to the vehicle speed, it has nothing to do with turbos. It sadly looks like I may just need to get the appropriate cluster.
