Nostalgic Hero 115

[sakijo]

Nostalgic Hero 115 is out. It features Prince cars. Can't upload the scan, it's too big. Their website may have it.

Get NOS 107 as well - several replica Hakosuka racecars are featured...

Get NOS S30FairladySpecial Issue (Geibun Mooks #471) - one fantastic Z after another

Also got a neat 60min DVD featuring race footage from the following special events:

1969.May 3 JAF Grand Prix

1969 Oct 10 Japan Grand Prix

1970 May 3 JAF Grand Prix

1971 May 3 Japan Grand Prix

1971 Oct 10 Fuji Masters 250km

and more...

Found all three at Lindbergh bookstore at SuperAutobacs in Shinonome.

I also recommend you get the following stand out issue (got it at Kinokuniya, but did see it at Lindbergh too):

Skyline 2000 GT-R Memorial (1969-1973) PGC10 KPGC10 KPGC110

ISBN4-86144-026-2

It's pretty much JUST period racing pics and articles from that time period... More period photos I've seen of the race Hakosukas than I've come across anywhere else...

I'll scan stuff when I get home on Sunday.

Miles I'd like a copy of the Geibun Mooks 471 S30 Fairlady Special. 2,000 yen is around $17.54 US correct? Plus shipping. Ed can you scan some pics from this book? Is the book worth it? Miles thanks for offering to do this.

Thanks for the tip Miles! I had asked Kinokuniya in Sydney to bring it over for me, unfortunately they don't stock it normally:( I'm still waiting on paperwork they want me to fill out first. They want ~$45 Aust. an issue, and then they tell me it will take three months for the first issue to arrive!...All too hard and too much I thought, but now I think I'll try direct from the Japanese publisher.

.....And thanks Eric, now I'll have to find that issue #107 !

Jim,

Is that $45 per magazine or $45 per year? The publisher will let you subscribe, but only takes credit card payment from overseas customers.

[EricB]

I agree with Miles a subscription (if you are into more than just Zs and Skylines - the scope of the magazine can be far-reaching) might be worth it...

The S30 book is basically a compilation of all the great Zs they've done photo shoots on from about '88 to '04. There's 12 Z432s, 6 ZGs, several classic race cars and several tuner cars, even a 2by2! Because it is a compilation I now have some overlap with some of the issues certain Zs first appeared in... so I am going to sell a couple of those copies shortly. More details (and scans) when I return. I land at LAX on Sunday.

Sounds like the Geibun Mooks 471 S30 Fairlady Special is well worth it. Thanks Eric. I may be interested in some of your issues. Miles let me know if you have any luck if finding some copies. I'll take one.
