Hi everyone

I am having an issue with my car that i am worried about. When i take off in my car i seem to be hitting my rev limit very easily and it goes into the red revs and drops out. Feels like the whole car drops back. Admittedly i give it a bit not all of the time just when i am feeling adventurous. So i take off at the lights and i give it a bit and it just drops back like i reved it to hard but it never used to do it.

I have spoken to a few people and swem to get many different responses but all are just friends no professional mechanics. Some ideas people have come across are it needs the boost raised (as the only mod i have on my car is a apexi air filter everything is stock) spark plugs (so i changed them to laser platinum tip) still did it. and also something to do with a fuel filter but again i got a brand new one still does it. Any ideas ? Just for more info my car is an auto and i was worried it was the gear box.

I am very new to all of this so be kind :( i have been a bit worried to ask.

Thanks

Hitting redline easily = gearbox the most likely candidate (unless you're spinning the back wheels :)

You would experience a slipping auto as a lot of revs but not much speed.

It might just need a service, but you'll have to take it to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis. Dont drive it hard until its been looked at.

      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.
