Many 10 second GTRs do so on the totally stock transmission.

With the advent of LC4 they are as likely to fail driving to the shops as they are running 10 second passes.

Our WR600 - 0-400m 10.3 sec, won the Temora 1000 - stock transmission

Kevs WR600 0-400m 10.6 sec, won the Snowy 1000 - stock transmission

35Rs WR450 0-400m 10.7 sec, won the NSW Supersprint Champs 2 years straight - stock transmission

- stock as in nothing changed other than the fluid -

You can be unlucky with these cars in terms of random component failure, but a properly sorted GTR that runs mid/high 10s shouldnt damage the transmission through overpowering the internals with a handful of drag runs every year :)

Wow, I apologise then. I was under the distinct impression from reading your numerous posts regarding the R35's transmission that you highly recommended safe guarding it with a number of upgrades to prevent the chance of a 'catastrophic internal failure'. You certainly cover the topic in some depth on your website.

'With the advent of LC4 they are as likely to fail driving to the shops as they are running 10 second passes.'

Well that's reassuring from a car costing nearly 200k. :wacko:

What Martin means is that trans component failure is random, not determined by how many launches you've done - and to avoid any issues in the long term make sure the appropriate servicing is done over its lifetime.

I can relate to this, a mate of mine a few years ago blew a hole the size of my fist thru the bottom end of a Mazda 3 MPS doing 2000 rpm @ 40kms/hr on a main street on the Gold Coast when a rod exploded. But many weeks before that, he was doing hill climbs up springbrook and pushing the car to the limit with the best of us.

Was the car stock - yes, did he thrash the balls off it, no. Totally random and unfortunate..... lucky the thing was under warranty though.

      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.
