Seriously - f*ck these guys. I have had it with their lacklustre performance. Would love to 'remove my subscription' - but as it is, I enjoy reading the magazine :)

Tried to order HPI back issues - as listed with shopping-cart and 'buy now' on HPI website. I supply credit card details - 4-days later am told the issues are no-longer available.

THEN TAKE THEM OFF YOUR F*CKING WEBSITE! How hard can it be!

Sorry to vent - but have had bad week. Car broken into, working stupid hours - all I wanted was some more GTR reading to ease the pain.

Magstore - thanks for making it suck even more ;)

I ordered a bunch of back ordered a few weeks ago and have had nothing in my mail box.

I just bought an R-34 and I ordered all the Project R-34 stuff, and now I want it!

Damn them. I'm on hold now to them, and I think I will be for quite some time as I was last time.

(frustrated) BASS OUT

I've been speaking to the web guy at Express Publications - they are having a 'meeting' on Monday to remedy the problem. Apparently the fault is with the HPI website. :cheers:

Doesn't get me my magazines, but let's hope they fix it.

Then they can look at the subs dept screwing up phone and mail subs - they sent me Hot4s for 3 months and not HPI, then to remedy - sent me the same HPI 3 times.

I had exactly the same problem. It's like almost a bloody month to get my hpi v6 to get here...

On the other hand my HPI subscription went as usual, so hopefully they don't screw that one up...

Where else can I buy HPI v7? Does jb sells them? Better to grab something off the shelf and pay it on the spot, you know you get the stuff, not waiting 3-4 weeks in the mail.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
