School Me On Shift Kits

Hi, would really appreciate if a few questions could be answered.

My car is R33 GTS25t auto making 216rwkw (ECU is Link G4), now the auto has started rev'ing high and not making the car go any faster, I think this is what you call flaring?

I've done some searching and read a number of posts about getting a shift kit before this gets worse and something about tightening of the belts?

What will a shift kit do? Does it tighten up the belts?

Basically I would like to know what I'm asking the transmission specialist to do, rather than just drive in and say "I want a shift kit" and have no Idea what its going to do.

Or since I no longer have the factory ECU would I benefit more from converting the car to manual?

Thanks for reading this small novel I really appreciate any help on this.

Daxter, It sounds like your box is due for a rebuild. If you intend to run the current power or more, your current (stock) box is not going to cut it, Give Mike at MV Autos a call on 08 8370 0430. He will be able to tell you what you need to know.

Once your box is sorted you may like to run a manualised automatic, this means you change gears when you want to, not when the transmision computer wants to. Check out the link in my sig. (this is not for everyone)

Hope that can help in some way.

Hey Aaron, yeah Ive seen your youtube clip, that's very cool what you have done, looks like alot of fun. (Ive watched it about 3x's now :banana:)

Would like to use an MV Auto shift kit but I'm in NZ.

A friend has a full manual conversion kit sitting in his garage which I could get for $2000, if my auto is beyond a quick fix this maybe the best option.

Ok, guess I should take that leap and convert the car to manual, thanks for the reply's.

One thing I've notice, if I have the power button on the auto seems to put the power to the wheels fine, it's not till the power button is off that it revs high and accelerates slowly.

      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.
