Smelling petrol can be a bunch of problems, including a stuffed cat

*awaits pic of sufed cat*

Def try to use the stock thermostat, just check it works correctly. The temp gauge in the car, even the stock one which is hardly accurate, will give you a heads up before anything goes wrong.

Hey mad, at what point of modding should you use 8 temp plugs? With big turbos, fuel pumps and track use?

I took the NGK Irridiums out yesterday and put back my old Denso IK22s just to check if there is any improvements since the Densos looked fine. The NGKs appeared whiter then a Japan GT Queen! I was running lean! Its real funny as on the dyno, it was ok. Unless my FPR settings had changed. SO i set it back at around 42 psi for now. I still get that jerk at full throttle/ full boost but not as bad as before. Will need to change the plugs again and try dyno-ing the car again to set it right.

Yeah changing spark plugs is the first step, and regapping them is the second. You might want to think about just going coppers mate, a lot of people here find platinums and iridiums don't last long enough to make the price worth it, and MANY have found they don't last much longer than coppers, if at all. I had a mate whose soarer used up iridiums in 3000km...

Glad the issue's fixed, misfires suck

Certainly do, i was so frustrated i was beginning to wonder why i had bothered to get the skyline, i remember now :D

coppers? every place i go to look into the sparkplug book and its always platinums recommended, and not really knowing what i should get i just go by that.

i did have an issue with coilpacks though, so it got me in 2 minds about what it could possibly be, knowing that old coils are usually the issue, not new plugs.

thanks for the advice mate

Thanks a lot for the info bro, looks like i was using RB25 NEo plugs in my 20... Hmmmmm.

A mate of mine suggested gaping down to 0.7 or o.65. Maybe ill try it and keep you all posted. My tuner said my air flow could also be a problem giving false temperature and flow readings to the ecu. Will need to swap that one too and see what happens!

If you want to read up on spark plugs and what to by it's all covered in the spark plugs thread, I'll even give the link :P

      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.
