What an angry angry engine, Finally got it to run after a hell of a lot of dicking around. Man i seriously felt like pushing it in to the back yard and parking it permanently. Thank god some young fellas have more patience than me.

Mick and shane plugged away while i went and sulked and before you know it its idling and it sounds like armagedon.

Wonder how many mufflers you can fit to a gtst.

Shane and i drove it round the block and all systems appear to be working, brakes are an issue. hard hard pedal and very average stopping power.

Hopefully it goes on the dyno tomorrow , Mick the magician can cast his spell on it and make it quiet as a church mouse with a gazillionty horsepower. :P

ahhhhh i just had a fat attack, i dont want to sell mine now.....i want to put the 25 in it.

That sounds farken stoopidly horny old man, shotgun a straight line run in it. i dont want to go round corners with you with that much power.

Just make sure you dont break it.

So what was the problem anyway?

Can it be told or?

Sure mate, No secrets here. It wasnt one problem as such but several very annoying stupid niggles.

Wrong injectors first, then a crook afm, then a dodgy signal wire from the afm to the puda, then a cas niggle. It was really starting to piss me off. On top of that the puda didnt recognise any of the engine settings till magic Mick tapped out several different sets of new numbers on the lappy and away it went.

It hasnt been tuned yet, but hopefully that will happen today. The numbers are all safe for me to at least mosey it around to the workshop and thats excactly what i will do shortly.

Sick!!

can i push the accelerator at some stage??? while stationary of course.

Its kewl dude, i've seen you drive remember. :thumbsup:

yeah true, did you still want to take a ride in mine to check the suspension?

just letting you know after talking with a few people, if mine doesnt come up to scratch i will prob be looking to put SK's gear in it. but if mines ok then it'll stay, but my ride height is gaying up my handling atm...which is kinda surprising how it will handle when it is set right.

    • 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
