High Performace Imports Issue 130: GTR special

[Bruizer]

If it's the HPI magazine that used to show up in town here, I tried to get a year membership and it was 2 or $300 hundered. Nuts.

Does anyone know where to get them in Calgary? Chapters Crowfoot didn't have any that I could see..

HPI is pretty good but you have to take a few views that they have about stuff with a grain of salt. They really have their minds made up about the whole twin vs single debate about GTRs. The fact checking needs a little work and the proof-reading before it goes to print is sometimes quite awfull. I have been buying back issues of it for about 3 years now.

The thing that really blows me away is the cost of sh1t in Aus., things like used stock GTR intercoolers going for $800 to $1000 over there and chinese stuff costing 5 times what it does here. People either make about double what we do here for the same work or they are REALLY dedicated there.

Another thing to mention is that their fuel is even worse than the US fuel, so power #s and tuning advice will be VERY consevative compared to what we can get away with over here. They did have a really good article though about coming up with a replacement for E85 (they had it, then it was taken away) using Methanol to the tune of 60% meth and 40% Premium. They called it MD60 and worked even better than E85, I may go this route.
