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.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Yeah was gonna say as it wouldn't line up correctly, I imagine if they put the wheel that way it would mess with the wheel alignment.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      My Neo turbo only went last year. Not 35 years old, to be sure - closer to 25. But still.

      There's no way they left the factory like that. In R chassis there is nothing stopping the steering wheel being put on one spline out from straight, and then adjusting the steering arms to "correct" it (sort of). As well as the indicator cancelling there would also be an issue with how tight you can turn in one direction to the other. The other (less likely) possibility is that the "clock spring" (the circular electronic part that allows the wheel to turn while still having an electrical connection for horn and any other buttons like cruise) might not be in place correctly. I don't have any pics of the R33 (or Stagea) setup but there would be a circular locating tab which sits in the steering column to have it straight...if that is not seated properly then the indicators may not cancel at the right point (and, you might also get a HICAS error since it would think you are driving in circles)

      It will mostly be bad scoring on the bores, which you can almost certainly fix by machining for oversize pistons. I have to say, I am super surprised that any standard turbos made it 35 years down the track before exploding!
