HPI Issue 59 just lobbed in my mailbox and it's their latest "GTR Cheaterer Special".

I turn to page 82 and what do I see???

- Moanie doing her best to dig a hole to China with her back wheels, right through the track surface at WSID!!!

- Nitrous purge (poser) action

- Brad whiting out the sun

- TWOOGLE miraculously dropping into the low nines with a spectacular typo

- Triple G R31 Gearbox destruction

And much more.

Go team! :O

yeah, made it in to the GTR special edition no less! nice one :)

I heard that moaner loves having her picture taken and paid Ben Ellis to get some snaps.

Plus it has two of my favourite cars from this years Tokyo Autosalon on the cover. The Sauras 32 and the HKS 34.

Mistakes aplenty - Paul took a whole second off his ET, somehow my car now makes OVER 300kW.....hahaha....

Subscribers should have got it yesterday - The article on TWOOGLE looked great!

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
