  1. 90919-02239 are the ones that need a slight shave down to fit (less than .5mm needs to be removed) 90919-02238 are the ones that fit without any mods.
  2. Unless you have crank triggering already just leave the dizzy in place and use the triggering inside it (24tooth = NE pin, sync = G1 pin). Remove the rotor and making a blanking cap as you wont need them - cap it something like you can just make out in this photo
  3. The collection grows! Will probably sell the black grill without the badge (definitely keeping that) if anyone is interested.
  4. Thanks yeah pretty cool to see the day getting some attention. Also got shown a short clip from the 2017 Nationals >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToOqbkFApyc
  5. It's easily my favourite event each year. So chilled and a magnificent lack of egos.
  6. Some very cool coverage from the Oldschool.co.nz 2016 Drag Day that Ryan and I attended last December. Few cameo shots of the 4agte (at the beginning and at 7.53) but just great to see the day recognised. Every year it gets better and better. Check it out! >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt5wLpzjCJQ
  7. Looks amazing! Are they genuine equips? What size and offset? I couldnt find any 01's so have run with 03's for now.
  8. Its awesome. Ive had a swim in both but I believe your not allowed to swim in the Te Waikoropupu Springs any more. #renegadeswim
  9. Another couple of spots to check out while in the Nelson/Golden Bay region are Te Waikoropupu Springs and the Rewaka Resurgance. Crystal clear springs. The resurgance is a great spot for a swim but promise me you will just put your towel down and jump in. No dipping a toe to check the water temp. It refreshing!
  10. Where do I start!?! Running out the door so can't write a big spiel but definitely head to the South Island - Fly into say Christchurch and hire a car, drive down to the Catelins then up to Queenstown/Wanaka area, travel over to the West Coast to Haast then head North via Punakaiki etc. Head thru Arthurs Pass and up to Kaikoura, then Blenheim, Nelson, Golden Bay, Takaka (stop at the Mussle Inn) and Farewell Spit (go for a surf with the seals at Wharariki Beach). If your into Mountain Biking go see Martin at the Quiet Revolution bike store in Takaka (in Golden Bay) and he can help organise
  11. I had one set of 20v leads that the terminal inside the boot into the head didn't even reach the spark plug. So it was arcing across the whole time. It took them 4 weeks to send me a new unit. I had to argue to get the replacement and there was no apology.
  12. I've had Magnacore sets made a few times but their quality control is exceptionally poor so never again.
  13. Thanks mate. Yes I had considered that but I think I will steal my brothers spare struts as they are longer than mine and have 10kg springs. My rears are 8kg currently and it still squats a bit.
  14. Thanks mate! Yeah will hopefully get there without breaking anything. The setup by rights should have quite a bit more potential in it, its just if im up to the task haha. More photos here: https://www.facebook.com/JonesBrothersProjects/
  15. Id wait till you get an aftermarket ecu on it, that way you can use the ecu software to control a decent 3 port solenoid
  16. Im sure I wrote a post on this but it seems to be missing... Anyway, as Colin has said above it depends on what throttle body you are using ie stock or aftermarket. The stock throttle body has water lines running through a waxostat and dependent on the temperature of the water it allows air to bypass the throttle butterfly which raises idle when its cold. This slowly closes as the water heats up and then when hot your idle is set by the idle screw. Most aftermarket throttle bodies don't have this system and instead idle is controlled electronically via an ecu. The factory starlet
  17. 2017 4&Rotary Nationals are over and done with, managed to run a new PB of 12.1@115mph. Only changes were some new water lines to the turbo core and spending about 30mins on the road taking a little bit of fuel out of the tune as it was dipping into the 10's at full load. Back to mid 11's now so could do with just a bit more taking out. Very hot day and suffered a bit of head soak and the track wasnt as sticky as I had thought it would be, most of the 60ft times were 2.1-2.2 except the 12.1 run which was a 2.025. Super happy with the result though. Will head back out on the 17th for
  18. Update from the weekend and a new PB again from Meremere Dragway here in NZ. Basically the same tune as last time just with a bit of fuel taken out as it was running rich. Very hot day so suffering a bit from heat soak. 12.1@115mph. 2.025 60ft. Hoosier 225/50/15. EP71 4AGE @ 16.5psi. BP 98 octane pump gas. We have a twilight event coming up on the 17th which will hopefully have cooler air temps and might get that 11.
  19. It depends on what you want to achieve and with what ecu. If your using a custom inlet with the stock ecu be a bit careful tune wise as the flow characteristics will be completely different. The stock idle up is water temperature controller via the waxostat under the throttle body. You would need to machine that setup off the manifold and then mount this remotely with air bypass and water lines etc. If your using an aftermarket ecu its easy as you can setup (ideally) a three wire idle speed control solenoid like the Bosch unit for example. They tune extremely well with a decent ecu. I us
  20. The issue with modifying the stock boots is the diameter of the leads. The aftermarket leads material is generally 8mm to 10.5mm so squeezing that into the stock boot is a bit of a dick. Cheers though!
  21. Hey guys, Can anyone recommend a company that would sell the spark plug boots that fit into 4e and 5e heads? I have customers cars come thru that require custom leads and while its not hard to make the leads themselves, finding the boots into the heads can be a bit trickier. Cheers Stu
