New Article

[geea]

I found a new article on the mighty "T" that sounds like it could be interesting reading.

I havn't read the whole thing yet, is there away to read it without signing up? If not I'll subscribe, it never hurts to ask.

Geea,

That's the cobra kit that LokII and I have fitted to our cars.

It shows all the components of the kit, and how it is fitted.

I find it interesting that quite often when a Nizpro product is mentioned, people clam up. Just like in this thread.

Is it just me? Could somebody explain this phenomenon to me?

I mean I wasn't aware of the article irrespective of the fact that I promote the product. Once I was told I of course had a look and noticed that this time around with a working ECU or whatever it was that proved to be the problem with an earlier Autospeed article, the highly critical Julian Edgar (critical but fair I should add) praised the product.

And yet there has been no comment coming from this.

This being the case, can anyone tell me where, what or why people don't post to threads such as this? Seriously, I would like to know from a marketing point of view.

I haven't replied because I don't want to pay the 6 bucks to read the article.

And I wouldn't pay if it was about something other than Nizpro either.

I can find enough free things on the interweb to waste my time without paying for more.

mentioning "Julian Edgar" wont help either....

IMO he never writen anything worth reading, last time I read his waffel he was talking about such high quality factory type mods as butchering your air intake with bits of stormwater pipe....

....no thanks.

Don't be paranoyed we (royal we) are just as interested in Nismo and all the rest as APS, but have read about BCL's mods elsewhere on this forum (thanks for all the info Brian) and so don't need to go over it again....that's all.

Greg, Relax dude, its only monday. :lol:

No and if they do it will have to be removed.

Intellectual property and all that.

Greg,

I think the monthly subscription for autospeed is $7.95 and they have a lot of interesting articles, I subscribe mainly for the new car tests, and special features such the one mentioned in this thread. They use to have a lot more articles about highly modified feature cars but they dont do it as often like in the past.

I read this article back in January and I was positive there was a thread about it, I maybe wrong. And personally I didnt make any comment about it for a number or reasons.

1) I thought it was common knowledge the steps taking to fit a kit such as yours like many others as well eg. intercooler, plenum, piggyback computer etc and there was more emphasis on that rather on the performance and hp reading on the dyno and how T drove with the kit fiitted.

2) I think if the article had more emphasis about road testing the nizpro stage kit I'm sure there would have been quite a lot of feedback and interest.

Like myself I'm sure other members on here have better things to do than only post negative comments or critercise anything associated with Nizpro. I wouldnt take it to heart that when there has been some positive feedback about Nizpro, and you didnt get the recognition you deserved. I've also noticed in the past theres been quite a few disputes on the forum involving Nizpro or people associated with it, and that could also be in their mind and dont want to be involved in anything like that. I'm not having a go at you or critercising its just something I've noticed and offering you my thoughts about it.

And Brian (BCL) has had a lot of positive feedback about his Nizpro T and a lot of people have shown a lot of interest. I think his thread about his stage 3 kit is far more interesting than the article on autospeed and probably why their has been so many posts.

All good comments folks, thanks.

Appreciate your thoughts and also understand the subscription issue with Autospeed can be off-putting for some.

As to Julian Edgar, I find it interesting that there are concerns out there about him.

From my perspective, it's that he is prepared to write the truth that tends to upset some people. For example, in the back-to-back test he did with the Nizpro and APS cars, Nizpro's had a problem, and he (Julian) rightly pointed that out.

Ezy10z, I have no interest in getting involved in any untoward arguments about who's kit does what, or slagging other products. It is a shame that a distributor of ours got a little carried away - however I have already addressed that issue, and besides, human nature being what it is, I can't tell somebody how to live their lives.

Instead I will keep everything 'clean' and as previously stated let our customer cars do the talking for Nizpro (Cobra), just like bcl, turbo6 and others.

Once again, thanks for the comments.
