steb9780 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 J-tuner has stopped being published. I prefer Japanese performance to Banzai personally. I know JP came out on the 11th this month. I don't know if it's the same every month though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n boost Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 J tuner stopped publishing due to something about ripping the name of an american website. If u search j tuner on google theres loads of threads. I had been buying both jp and banzai for a few years, but have not bought any for about 6 mths. If u buy one u will notice they both feature the same cars about a issue gap between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I got a yr subscription to Banzai for xmas - and must say I quite enjoy reading it. Not as bad as I thought it might be - some of these magazines are poor. I think I prefer JP - but I've not really really had a read of many of them. Loved J Tuner - shame it's gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I did alright out of J Tuner. Signed up for 6 months and got a free Maguirs polish set, got one magazine and then they pulled it. Got a refund in the post for the full retail price of 6 mags!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberleyAnn Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I like JP, but Banzai is my new favourite as they put me in it on the JAE report LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 J tuner was good, technical but not overly so for us less erudite lot I subscribed from the second issue and got my money back at the end as well. tbh, I think half their problem was the fact there were so few retail outlets stocking it other than WHSmiths so they couldnt have sold a lot of copies. If I see any supra articles in either Jap performance or Banzai I'll get it anyway Lx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I liked J-tuner too. My favourite is Banzai but buy JP also. JP is a little more technical based IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx1lew Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 I really miss j- tuner I like the fact they gave good comparison tables on cars for example the type R issue where they compared a N/a tuned, supercharged and turbo conversion. it showed you all the stat's and pro's and cons. I hope they come back under a new name.. must say I do like banzai, I think some one should start a supra mag like fast ford or mini world or French "car's". reason i dont like jp is the fact every time i have picked a issue up in WHS they have mainly been about scoobys and evo's... saying that i havent had a chance to check every month..

fishman Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 i had an article and a few photos published in banzai, its not a bad mag, but the 'editing' is pretty poor IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
