mainly HPI, but at many of the local newsagents it will come with a 2 extra mags which are usually old episodes of zoom and HPI... I bought and issue of speed also and I liked it especially their awesome photograpy which makes the photography in HPI look really amatuer. I think the content of both is excellent. Speed is a dollar cheaper also.. I can only buy one occasionly cause I'm saving for the skyline....

i have subs to HPI and Drift battle. love em :rofl: i like the pure imports, not just japanese cars in aus. although that is noice. plus HPI make decent dvds, and drift battle has oone coming out soon. i rekon hot4s and autosalon are just the 'trailer queen' cars than are never really driven. whats the friggin point?

I have every issue of HPI and Speed and drift battle, great magainzes.

but I'd have to say that 'Hyper Rev - GTR specials' are my favourite.

Got 3 out of the 4.

Great pictures, good directory of performance parts aswell. too bad I can't read japanese and it's admn expensive.

yeah the Jap mags shame ours in a couple of ways. they are much more expensive though and I think the photography here is just as good. Just that they have a much wider pool of GTRs etc to draw from... when reading (well looking at Jap ones) I like GTR magazing, Club Skyline magazine is equally good and the 'I love skyline 32GTR one' is pretty damn good too.

over here I now like Autosalon mag, they have really picked up there game. Speed is good too and HPI was an old favourite I've had a sub to that for quite a few years. I also buy zoom and sometime motor too. point is I spend too much money on mags.

    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
    • if need be I guess I will, yeah. Just to be clear, it's okay to use the sill area around the jacking points for loading, meaning the actual pinch weld or jacking point just sits in the slot without taking on any weight?
    • No. No it can't. It will absolutely end badly. There's no need for it, so there's no need to create the risk. Mitigating a risk that didn't need to be there in the first place is even dumber than mitigating a risk that could be engineered out in the first place. And the risk has already been engineered out.
    • You can also make your own. It doesn't need to be rubber. It just needs to mate securely enough to whatever the jack/arm point is, and have a slot in the top. If that means welding a few chunks of steel together, or slotting something in a mill, then, that's what it means.
