Would love to but engine already built/running and tuned. cost too much to take engine apart to add cams now.

next time will get cams/ light weight pulleys for better accelaration. Going to get water/meth kit end of year and air intake for GTR then aim for 330awkw as now have 310. Never going to race the car just a daily driver amd 330 would be more than enough. I just get jealous reading everyone else's projects with 400+awkw and start to think is it enough....

kmart has some if im not mistaken
Strongly doubt it. Methanol is NASTY. They probably have Methylated Spirits (Ethanol denatured with Methanol)

(Methanol in the methylated spirits is what ultimately causes blindness in alcoholics)

My misses has cracked it about spending money on cars so no water/meth kit for her supra. Still getting FMIC/SAFC/Air intake box/EBC/pipe through cat for supra.Will tune for 16psi and around 250rwkw. (She agrees to that)My next step will be install the water/meth kit and pon cams for GTR and go for 350awkw. Should be a very complete package then. Will do this for next summer.

P.S she is still going to paint her car blue and get GT-spoiler and then Lambo door kit and finally blue/black leather trim. This is ok according to her as getting the money from selling her FTO. If you ask me money could be better spent on engine mods, but then again do I really want her to be as fast as me.

Hey Graeme - off topic - but what are the chances we can get a day out at Atwood one day?? :D

We always have to race that short track as part of the Dutton Rally and I must say I find it one of the most fun events of the whole rally.

Back at work Tuesday will make some calls to our driving school who run it and find out what we need to arrange it. We never use it on weekends to my knowledge so should be possible. Will let you know then.

Also if I get cams what size are best 260 or 264? Is there much price difference and where is good cheap place to buy them?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
