Well I had Redline put into my box.

Just drove the car in after a 5 min drive from work.

Jacked the car up on stands - shoved a pan underneath and out it drained - the oil complete with cool gold colour sparkles came out lukewarm.

Needed a handpump to push the oil UP into the gearbox. Too a little over 3 litres.

tony i think they are talking about automatics man..... what u do is..... with the car at operating temp and still running.... put your foot on the brake and pull it into first then neutral then reverse a few times leaving it in gear for a few seconds each time then into park then check should be on the full HOT bit on the stick......u will have to look hard as old trannie fluid is hard to see...... and another tip if your oil smells like its burnt take it to an auto transmission place and get the trannie serviced/checked/change fluid........ hope that helps u out.....:uh-huh:

I think various makes and models are different, some are checked in or out of gear, hot or cold. But the way we did Falcons and Lasers etc when I worked at a Ford dealership is with the engine warm, in drive, with air con on. Not sure if that's "normal" or not. From memory the difference is not all that great between all the above variables.

hahaha.... isn't that a bit over the top?

Motor at running temp,

car in neutral.

Wipe stick

Put stick back in hole,

Read fluid level,

Repeat (to make sure that it was accurate)

Pffffffff men....

Have to make everything so complicated. :D

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
