The September issue of NZV8 Magazine has just reached shop shelves and it’s full up with a whole load of feature cars, news, event reports and everything you need to know about the V8 scene in NZ. Grab a copy before they sell out.

In this month’s issue we have a striking cover car in the form of ’69 Holden Monaro HT. This LS3-powered machine is beautifully detailed and finished to a standard that’s rarely seen, even in a NZV8 feature car. Other cars in the new issue include a big block Plymouth Satellite and a 1987 Ford Thunderbird drag machine that runs a 522ci big block Chevy engine. We also check out Craig Date’s drag-spec T-bucket which can pull 9 second passes making it one of the quickest in the country. Our final feature car is certainly unique, it’s a Nissan Navara ute powerd by a twin turbo LS1 engine, with 700+ horsepower this is one scary mini truck. We also have an special feature showing some of the craziest engine conversions in the country and then we get serious with advice on how to do a conversion properly. We take a close look at Ford’s new supercharged ‘Coyote’ V8 engine and get some technical advice on choosing the right clutch.

All this plus the usual advice, readers’ rides, shed visit and news to keep you up to date with all that’s happening on the NZ V8 scene. This is an epic issue so make sure you pick up a copy now before they sell out!

It’s time to find that ten bucks behind the sofa and get down to your local dairy or book shop because the May 2011 issue of NZV8 magazine has just hit the shelves.

This month’s issue is a pearler with a very special cover car – Greg Murphy’s Nascar powered Dodge Charger. Murph’s Mopar machine has been three years in the making and packs a 750hp 358ci Nascar V8 engine, it’s a serious ride. Other feature cars include a brutal ’68 Chev Camaro RS/SS with a 540ci big block and also an immaculately finished ’64 Chev Impala with an LS1 engine and a extra low stance. We also have a blown small block Mk1 Ford Cortina with a sketchy amount of power and racing intent. In this month’s event reports we cover the inaugural industry awards ceremony, the annual Nostalgia Drags the huge American Muscle Car Club Show and the ITM 400 street race. We test six different Holden air intake systems and our Dream Shed section takes us to Dave and Cathy Parker’s large rural garage.

All this plus the usual advice and technical information, readers’ rides and competitions to keep you up to date with all that’s happening on the NZ V8 scene. Pick up a copy now before they all sell out!
