im going to high 5 the shit out of you

that im im sure me and donna passed you leaveing the mt heading south.........maybe i was rather hung over

nope youd werent too pissed - i went down to mates bach in pauanui on the 28th then left there and went thru to the mount before heading down to rotorua/taupo/napier/havelock north - so yeah youd have seen me. and then on the 2nd i came back to the mount/papamoa to chill out for few days - i should make the car a bit more definitive looking i guess aye ;) shall i wrap the arse end of this one in advan stripes as well lol

Was ths parked on maraetotara reserve in ohope a lil week or two back? I too was hung over as fuck

you my good man were definitely grogballed - i never went thru whakatane (although i wanted to) so im guessing you spotted another white chaser with black mags - which annoys me a bit - im not used to not having a recognisable machine :evil:

Saw this on the motorway a couple of weeks back. Tried keeping up in the old ladys swift but you were gunning ;)

yeah where like south aucks or something? was probably headed to/returning from the nightspeed drags or visiting olds/etc - i dont think one can 'gunn' a 1g-fe - nothing happens. the only way id have been able to pass/outrun a swift would be from inertia, momentum and luck :D fuck the 1g makes me sooo mad every time i try to drive it - get so angry. rev the shit out of it and it wont even rev without sounding laboured - its like a fat man wheeezzing on asthma, fucking makes a physical pain in my chest makes me want to stab something

shit peter i need to calm down. anyway now ive flippin bought a 2j so maybe even with stock twin turbos it might go a bit better heres hoping

this is a job for - the mighty garage slipway boys!

i just now need: big radiator, elec fans, intercooler to hi-mount behind grille, and uprated fuel pump.. and i then i think its showtime

keep it locked

yeh not keen on cutting bumper and metal supports etc - the long and thin style to fit under the bumper braces is probably good but u end up with long runs of piping and the whole thing sits way low - im thinking of mounting the IC inboard and up behind the front grille/between the headlights - will mean a narrow but tall IC - and will allow super short pipe lengths.

since im also getting a new radiator im considering Vmounting both and making some ducting to force air up into both radiator and IC (will then need a subtly vented hood to allow low pressure hot air out)

im gonna be measuring up what space is available today, and then go shopping for a cooler.....

Depends on the theme etc that you're using though usually there's a setting in the Admin section. With mine (which is some random theme, I had to put a bunch of photos in a specific folder and it's cycles them, Which is cool. Don't think base stz does that though.

i have been searching every kind of wheel possible for something to catch me as the wheel for this project as we all know wheels can make or break a car

i believe ive found the look/offset/fitment etc that i want for this car - they were always going to be full flat black - and here is an example of what i want, almost exactly:

Work VS-XX. unknown size/offset/etc, but i am trying to find out. car is featured here on the weaksauce parts site: http://www.weaksauceparts.com/weaksauce ... ffm4n.html

car owned by someone called DUFFM4N, who is a honda guy but also has/had this ride. details seem scarce on the "build" of the s14 (but its just a basic S14, with those wheels) so maybe no build thread?? the rest of the guy's posts on his own car used photobucket which is now expired so none of his pics work. if anyone can find the spec of the wheels pictured above i will give you $100. fuckin serious.

sweet wheels,

but by my work vs-mx lol

tip

+ 25 10" ( 245 streached to fit ) rim do not fit under the jzx100 guards if that helps..................well im lying..............they do..............just have to spend alot of time with a gaurd roller, you can pull the rear gaurds out by around 5mm

at the most i would go 9.5 width

oh did i say by my work vs-mx's :lol:

also while im thinking about this, the dash is all elec controlled and runs off the ecu, i dont know how you will get around this

i have a factory ecu pin out for the jzx100 1jzgte that will show the dash plugs and what the pins are if you need that let me know and i will email it to you

also i beleave the abs ecu may be a piss around, there was a guy in taranki that done a 1jz swap with a gx100 and this gave him the biggest headace, i am unsure how they got around it

reading this makes me sound real negitive hahaha, but im trying to gve you a heads up man

oh oh also if you know niteB ( brendon i think ) hes a book of knowledge, i had a yarn to him this time last yr and he helped me out heaps with my issues

good luck man, i will be watching this with a keen eye
