B&m shifter - 300

Gearbox mods - 2000

Cam & tune - 3000

Plus all the other misc crap, oil, filters, tyres, care products.... It's easy over 20 :(

Butttttttttt I'm with Matt

Lol once my mods went past the initial cost of the car i decided to ignore and keep going :P

I love the thing and its worth it every time I start it. As soon as it stops make me smile ill get rid of it (not gonna happen)

And that is why we do what we do! The minute you stop smiling you slap 2 snails down the side and you are good to go again :ph34r:

  • 2 weeks later...

Update:

Just got off the phone with a&t and they've informed me that the 1st and 4th bands in the gearbox are burnt (ie. f**ked) and will need replacing.... Great :(

second hand box would be cheaper at a guess mate.....

Gearbox is fixed! :woot:

Picking the thing up this afternoon, keen to see how she goes with the new Stallie, you guys know what this means....

I'll b at the drag day to keep all the six pots honest :banana:

(Although will probley still be stock motored ie no big cam/tune... Yet)

I'll organise some form of camera/video recording for the drag day. I'm sure one of the sau qld boys will be filming it anyway.

Ill post up my time slips when I eventually run it (ie the 29th, unless I go down to a test and tune for a bit of a practise run)

Holly mother of god, just got this thing back with the 3200 stall, FMVB and first gear. All I can say is wow... A launch from 1st gear without and foot brake stall it just flashes up and goes limiter in first and then limiter in second as it lays about 80m of black lines, I'm in shock, i love it.

These poor 235s just arnt up to the task anymore, and I may have to source some better tires for the drag day as these may aswell be plastic.

Big thanks to Trevor from A&T autos in toowoomba, great company to deal with and would recommend them to anyone chasing trans stuff in the area.

Tomorrow is my last day on my p plates, so keen to get rid of them an unleash "The Abomination" on the streets :devil:

    • 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
