Magazines dedicated Classic Jap Cars

[kakarot]

Hey there guys!

 

  I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any magazines that are dedicated to Jap Classics eg 240z/Fairlady, 2000GT etc etc that are available for purchase?

  I prefer magazines in English as I'd like to actuallly understand what I'm reading but if anyone knows of any in Japanese, I'd much appreciate any information.

  Ohh and I've subscribed to JNC Car Mag but it just doesn't seem to fill my appetite! =)

 

Cheers!

Try Banzai magazine, it's got old and new japanese cars.  I think it's based in England.  It's focused more on the new side of things though.

JNC seem to be good but damn it feels like ages in between issues.

Yeah JNC is usually 5-6mnths between issues. Some times if I need a fix I go on ebay and get Lightening auto or Nostalgic Hero Japanese mags, no english. Some of their zeds are unbelieveable, they even feature ex works race zeds!

If you can navigate the Japanese....Nostalgic Heroe (which regularly feature zed's, 2000gt's old skylines etc.....couple of whacky one's too.) and Lightning auto (again in Japanese) are very good.

 

They have some very nice zed's, couple of really nice articles on a rocky auto zed with a NA RB26 in it....etc etc as well as more original ones.

i read alot of g-works magazine. i get it from the bookstore in the city cant remember the price, i think its around <30 bucks a copy? if anyone wants one i can get it for u, but stocks are really limited i usually get the first one then there would be about 3-4 left on shelf and they go out quick.

G-works eh, i thinks i may be getting some of these, which book stores are they available from? (i'm in melb).

Cdr Zero:Thanks for the heads up on Banzai.

 

Gareth. J. The store's in Sydney, not sure if they send interstate though. I think the stores' name is Kinokuniya? (kinokuniya.com) I haven't been able to check out the store yet but will sometime soon..

 

Yeah, JNC is great not just for the pictures but more so because its like a history book about cars. It is a shame about the long waiting periods, but then again, they are the only English speaking magazine dedicated to "Nostalgics".

 

I only knew about Nostalgic Hero. Thanks alot for the info on Vintage Auto and G-Works!

 

Now I saw this magazine (Evolution Q Vol.1,2 & 3) and I was wondering if anyone has read them or even own them. If so, are they good?I can only see the cover and so can only presume? Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks guys!

 

And heres the site. Its in Japanese,so if any could do a rough translation about the content,it would be much appreciated.Thanks in advance!
