Hey guys, got a problem with my new car (far out, only my third post too :D ), and was hoping someone could give me some advice;

I was driving at about 30km/h, about to pull into my driveway, when i heard a muffled pop, then my car shuddered a little. I pulled into the driveway, and found my car had very little power, wouldn't idle properly, and then stalled. :thumbsup: I had to roll it the rest of the way in. I checked for oil leaks, nothing. It struggled to start, and then wouldnt idle cleanly. There are no ticking or nasty sounds from the engine, though i could hear a hissing sound like a vacuum or a leak in the exhaust or something.

Coming out of the back of the exhaust is a tonne of black particles, like soot, or sand or something.

A friend suggested the cat might have died, i can only hope it's something that simple

Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be? I'd really appreciate any help. :(

Cheers!

:yes: Hey mate. Well yeah, i had hoped to post many ' :D i love my new skyline' posts, before i got to my ' :angry: damn my car is dead i need help' post; but i guess that happens.

Hopefully, my next post will be 'hey :D i found the problem, all is sweet'

And thanks for the tip, i will check the intake also... happened last night, and really need to go over it in daylight to get a proper look at whats going on.

Looks like it might be the charcoal cannister pipe, which must have popped off the other day. I'll be dropping it at the mechanic in the next day or two to get it all put back together, and hopefully that will be my problem solved !! Then i'll be back to enjoying my new car, rather than stressing about it :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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
