Hi, I'm Matt from J-Tuner mag.

 

Firstly, looking at some of the comments on other posts, I must apologise. I'm sorry there have been no 300ZX features so far. But we are only on our 3rd Issue!

 

If you have a car that may be feature worth please feel free to send it in. We have a pretty strict policy of 'no bling', so if that's your thing, sorry. That's not to say every car is a stripped, out-and-out racer, we just don't like to feature cars based on looks alone. The amount of cars we turn away is pretty scary really.

 

ok, the reason they feature Skylines, Subaru's and Supras is because they are most popular and therefore make more sales aka mahoney.

 

This is an extremely cynical view. Contrary to popular belief; we don't have to feature these cars. It just generally happens to fall that way because of the quality of the cars. In our 1st issue, probably the most important issue, we didn't even 'feature' any Skylines, only at the back in the projects section. I won't patronise you, we know full well that we cannot please everyone all of the time.

 

IVE ALWAYS SAID THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THESE JOBS HAVE NOT GOT THE SLIGHTEST IDEA OR COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yet if someone appiled for the job and laid down a laod of good ideas theyd probably still gove the job to the person who s got a OBE in media studies.

 

Hi, I would like to introduce myself... No qualifications, no previous magazine or media experience; I applied on the off chance (initially for another mag), got an interview based on a small piece I wrote about my car, then got the job through sheer persistence and determination. I have been around the scene for about six years, I am a complete enthusiast and love the whole atmosphere that the Jap scene brings.

 

I'm sure he'd do one of those rolling road / Bruntingthorpe days on 300ZXs.

 

They're all lazy, journalists, and if we can offer 10-15 cars in one place at one time (his choice of time and venue, probably he'd want a week day!), he'd probably jump at the chance.

 

Firstly, yes we would be very interested. Secondly, all the thrashes that we have done so far have been at the weekends (as far as I know... Sundays is favourite). This ensures the best turnout - as long as it doesn't clash with shows, obviously. As for lazy... more like tired. Its been 8am to 3am for the last two weeks, then away at shows on weekends - not complaining though.

 

I'm sure they must be missing out on a large part of the market by not getting a more balanced car range. We need more zeds in them, and its not for lack of highly modded zeds

 

Abso-bloody-lutely!! Unfortunately we did say in our first issue about 'no bling' but that doesn't mean we can't get round minor Americanisms somehow. Its been really hard getting the mag off the ground as I'm sure you can appreciate. But if you think your car should be in the mag; SEND IT IN! We aren't at a point where we can afford to dedicate someone to search for feature cars. We would like to think we can get to a point where we are the first mag somebody comes to when they want a feature. But with only 2 issues under our belts we are far from that place at the moment.

 

I'm really genuinely sorry if some of this has sounded like a moan, its not. I just hope that some of you will accept our invitation to be featured and that I see you all soon at Brunters for a thrash (and to give me a good kicking, probably).

 

Please feel free to PM or email me your cars, questions or abuse :D

 

Thanks

 

Matt

Well if you check my rides section out you'll see that I've spent my money on handling and usable power rather than rights to the pi55ing contest. Along with a good few other guys on here we are talking serious money and comittment. Which would be nice to have rewarded in a feature.

Here, Here...

 

Must say Matt, got both copies of JTuner from the Jap meet at Santa pod the other weekend, just about read through them both now and they're pretty good. I did enjoy the last R34 feature, very interesting. Tis a shame to see no Zeds yet but as you say there's time....

 

From my own point of view, and I am guessing shared by others, I cant help feeling a bit bitter against Jap car mags. I was subscribed to Japenese Performance but a few months ago it ran out and I diddnt bother renewing it. Simply for the reason that I was sick to death of Scoobies and Evo's bwing featured month after month. One scooby to me looks like another so you can imagine how quickly it became boring....

 

Anyway, thats my 2p worth, great mag, love the tec articles, very enjoyable reading, keep it up and I might subscribe.....

 

Good luck....

 

Mark. ;)

Controversial, as we've received a lot of nice cars.

 

I'll sort something out soon, but I think a 300zx thrash could be in order first.

Sounds like fun, havn't met everyone yet anyway :nana2: :nana2:

 

ps I like bananas
