my weekend rocked

saturday. sat and bored myself shitless with a heap of lessons for this army drivers course. came home, went for a mud bash sat nite

sunday: went to u pull it for a couple of bits, sold my roof rack to a mate in the arvo, then went for a big mud bash with luke and flick and a few of my mates

monday: went across town and worked on the skyline all day, then worked out i had homework from this drivers course, so went for a drive last night

today: RDO, finishing my homework off hehe

Damn ...

Stagea is stuck in 3rd gear. A/T light flashes at me and stag drives in 3rd gear (since lunchtime today). Had a service and shift kit installed by MV Auto 10,000kms ago ... whole car only 61,000kms old. Anyone got any ideas? I've already hit up the Stag section for an answer.

:happy:

Registered the silver Stag today, so I guess thats a sign to take the black stag off the road for a while. :ninja:

maybe the speed created by the downforce of the JDM MESH caused some to dislodge and wrap around you transmission dooflickey

i think it is related to the blue mesh....too much downforce, power, torque almost too much everything really with that BLUE MESH :happy:

i think since the blue mesh has given you too much power etc your transmission cannot handle it anymore.....time for more blue mesh and a better trans maybe.....

on another note check if your ecu hasnt gone into limp mode.....if using aftermarket ECU maybe check the data and see if there is something unusual in there....goodluck with it all ruby

No aftermarket ecu. Stock ecu does appear to be in limp mode. I've browsed the Stagea and Transmission threads and have a few options (although none are definite solutions). I'm going to start with the easiest solution and work my way up to the harder (expensive) solution, by checking the trans fluid level first. I doubt its the solenoids (and hope they're not) as the car is only 61,000kms old and MV serviced the box less than 10,000kms ago ... plus the shift solenoids are expensive!

If all else fails, I guess I'm doing that manual conversion sooner than I thought. I'll also check the Mv invoice for the warranty period and have them dianose the box problem. I'll drive the silver stag around in the meantime.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
