Can anyone recommend a place to get guards rolled in the north west? Or better yet, does someone in the north west have some rollers I could use in return for a case of beer or something?

Fitted some new tyres today which have got fatter shoulders and I'm getting some major scrubbage.

Sorry I dont know.

But just out of curiousity what size are your rims? 17x?? and offsets? and what tyres sizes do you have that makes the guard scrubb?

Want to know so I can see if I would get same thing when I get my new rims without tyres on.

They're

235/40R18 (18x9.5") Fronts

265/35R18 (18x10.5") Rears

Only the rears are scrubbing.. the fronts are fine.

It depends on the tyres tho. Falken FK451's didnt scrub. My new Maxxis MA-Z1's are scrubbing, so it depends on the shoulder of the tyre.

Thanks Anna!

Anyone else know of anything local?

If your meaning all the hectik plates that the Newcastle peeps seem to have (including one of my ex's :P ) its XXX-23Q + out :ermm:

Haha... They have to be my most un-favourite plates (3Q DOES NOT EQUAL FREAK!) :ermm:

BTW i had to head down to rockdale today Anna so I just dropped in to see our mates at St George tyres who rolled the guards for $35ea :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 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
