What size and offset are your rims on the gtst mate?

They were 18x9 +20 front and 18x10 +5 on the rear. Front and rear guards were standard all I did for the rears was roll the lip flat with the guard (not pumped at all) just to allow a tiny bit of suspension travel and that was it. Fronts actually had a 5mm spacer from memory

A few quick pics of my 33. Also a video of my new varex exhaust for anyone interested.

Its almost complete in my eyes. It is stock height, stock wheels but I like it. I feel a lot more safe from police in this form.

As soon as my mate gets back from a week away, my new cat is being put in and some gauges wired up. All it needs now I think is a bit of a tune up. Only problem I have with the car really is the return to idle, it sometimes lopes as seen in the video but fortunately doesnt stall. Strangely it is a tiny bit laggier since installing the varex. A smaller air filter was installed at the same time. Will have to see which one is causing the problem.

so gave the car a clean and had a play with the camera. the one thing i struggle with is framing a shot, so i drove around until i found a reasonably good place for photos. here are a couple of shots i took:

    • 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
