The Zero GTR guys are having a cruise tonight..

meeting at doncaster pancake parlour if you wanna go

Needa mention they're really bad at organising things. Haha.

Late, take few hours to decide where to go (Just texted them, still dunno where to go).

why does my car sound like a wrx at low rpms :mellow: went up the road thing's shaking badly...

spark plugs?

also noticed my cat's glowing... don't think that's happened before specially since i only had the car on for a couple of minutes

err help?

wants credit card details..

Edited by R-SPEC

Done all that... for some reason now it won't start and the fuel pump relay is going spastic. Worked flawlessly up until now. I've checked all fuses and wiring, seems ok. Rage must be blinding me or something

Sounds like coilpacks or spark plug - a cylinder or two isn't firing. Unburnt fuel going through the hot headers or turbo(?) is what's making the cat glow.

If it does it at idle, you can diagnose by running engine with bonnet open and pulling/replacing each coilpack individually until you find the one that makes no difference to the engine sound. Then when you find the faulty cylinder, swap it's coil pack to another cylinder and see if the problem moves to the new cylinder. If it does, then coilpack. If it doesn't, then loom or spark plug in the original cylinder will most likely be it.

went to look at a shop in ashburton after work, somehow ended up in lillydale and then kangaroo ground. lol

could also be a blocked injector (which is what happened in the r32)

Will save a special spot for you in heaven.

    • 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
    • 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)?
    • 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.
