Modified gearbox crossmember to a solid mount setup with just a thin layer of hard rubber to reduce a little vibration, also a brand new 2 piece tailshaft to suit welllll over 1000hp, made by gibsons at edgeworthpost-60275-0-89657900-1416170430_thumb.jpeg

size wise in the tunnel is sweet, if anything the bell housing is slightly smaller than an rb box, only thing is its places the shifter slightly further back and have to chop a bit out of the top of the tunnel. in my opinion the rb shifter sat to far forward and always found myself kind of stretching for 1st and 3rd so I like where it sits now. ill get a photo of in the next couple days.

yer wasn't really hard getting the jz to fit either.

Just some photos of the lobster back work on the exhaust by Stav Fab and Fitting.

And the wiring begins! It is made a whole lot easier with the help of a brand new engine harness and sub chassis harness from Chasebays in America. You can choose what engine, injectors, ecu and chassis you have to make it easier. I chose the race sub chassis harness as I'm only going to be running head lights, harzards, Windows, wipers and fuel pumps.

Alrighty guys, been pretty busy with renovating with my brother over the last month and a half but im back into it.

Car is currently off getting the cage done, wiring is probably about half way, will be getting painted over the next few week's, and then just a few bits and pieces to finish her off.

Aiming for a drift day down at Wakefield on the 6th April, will definitely be pushing it to get there but fingers crossed.

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • 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. 🤞
