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.

Did I mention that there's a GT-R that needs funding via AutoSalon magazine sales on a prominent online auction site??? :P Any A.S. buyers on here might wanna check it out...(Geez, now I'm REALLY scrounging for dollars..) :laughing-smiley-014:

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!

      That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.

      I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?

      ugently need expert / experienced opinion

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
