John, It's really late here in CA but I'll give you something to work on.
The trick is to work with the UTC time. This means you have to convert your server-side date data (or variable) to the UTC Timezone (lookup: DateConvert). Once your server data is on UTC, you have to determine the timezone preference of the user (or the client machine using Javascript). In your case, that is HI. Then just calculate the difference between HI timezone and the UTC timezone. One thing to remember is you have to take the New Jersey timezone out of the picture, and just work with the UTC converted time. Think of UTC as you bearing or point of reference. This method will make your date data manipulation more scalable. It's a bit hard to grasp at the beginning, but that's the path to take.
