After two months of waiting I finally picked up my car from the cargo mob in Freo yesterday.

and all I can say is DAMN!, its in a shitload better condition than the photo's I saw of her in Japan and came with a few extra suprises in the boot also (spare set of adjustables, stocky's, airbox, dump pipe, clear indicators). damn damn damn happy :(:D:(

now onto Stage 1 :)

adam32: yeah 13th looks good at this point, ill ask some mates tonight and see if their interested.

boostzor: where do you check under the seat? although its a bit hard with the aftermarkets in there which jam up against the cage, its a prick sometimes just to adjust.

it set me back 17k + onroad, but its already gone 500$ over budget at the moment so itll most probably end up costing me 19k on the road.

skyzzer33, on the books im officially not employed.. i did that as I was at uni and didnt want to effect my austudy and so forth. the business isnt making any money anywho as we sell most of the stuff to mates, its just a good way to get cheap stuff :O

gradenko: stage 1 = new turbo and i/c :P

gotta read damn manual for the HKS EVC and get it going properly, its supposedly set at the same levels for high/low at the moment (0.76bar) but the warning alarm still goes off sometimes (0.9bar) and its too hard to look at the gauge when this is happening to see what its actually hitting. hehe

    • 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. 
    • 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
