ROFL i pulled my dump/front pipe off using only 2 hydraulic jacks and 2 car stands.....and a good hour of f!@#ing around figuring out how to unbolt off the turbo lol ...the two on top and bottom closest to the guard is easy to take off, jsut use a breaker bar :P only real need for the hoist is to unbolt off the cat (piss hard BUT do-able when chassis is an inch off ur face!) hardest one to get to will be the middle one on the side of the turbo facing the block.

it WILL be hard for a first timer, but definitely do-able! i should make a bet too lol trust me you might be sore and bleeding off ur face but you wont regret giving it a shot! really good learning experience (and yes i did hit myself in the face with a spanner......)

I bet you $135 by the end of it you'll wish you paid someone :)

so how bout that $135??? :D

2 hours and with help from a mate didnt use a hoist we ended up using jack stands and ye now its all installed. car sounds so much better and goes a bit nicer to :P

so ye Adz want my account details??? lol

We used a friends hoist as well for the 32, and I can tell you now that after all the freakin pain trying to get the zorst off and new one on, I would be more than happy to pay $135!

Jacking up the 180 about 1m at the back just to change a catback.. also pain in the arse.

You just never know how many 15yr old bolts you're going to snap til it's too late..

I even snapped my brittle radiator drain plug once.. luckily we have 2 other (Nissan) cars here with the same size plug :P

so how bout that $135??? :)

    • 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
