Ok so bit of an update on this issue i'm having-

Took the car back to the workshop and got it back on the hoist. Got in it and went through the gears whilst i was in the air, went through all the gears and started hearing a fair bit of rattle once the car got under more load. 40km/h in 6th gear the noise was horrible, coming straight from inside the gearbox.

My mech says to give it a few hundred more km's and if nothing changes i need to speak to Coz about it. We pulled a bit of gear oil out looking for steel shavings, put a magnet in the small amount of oil we dropped and pulled out next to nothing. Probably the little bits were from the new synchro's meshing together.

Apparently, my mate has had plenty of cars up on the hoist doing the same thing as what we did going through the gears troubleshooting listening for noises and has never heard this happening before.

I guess i will drive it for a few hundred more km's, then change out the oil ($120 down the drain) for a thicker mix. Amsoil is very light, maybe the car doesn't like it. Then go from there, my mate thinks it's a gearbox bearing. We'll see!

Well i've just got used to it i guess.. my mate has a s15 with a similar noise he thinks it's normal. One thing that i have noticed though is a creaking noise i get from the clutch mostly when the car is cold every time it engages. I assume this is normal too because it stops after i've been driving for 5-10 min. I figured that since i'm not having any issues with changing gears or the clutch slipping or any form of driving problems that this clutch noise is normal.

That sucks. That would do my head in to spend that sort of coin and come out with a less than 100% result. May as well strip the interior and cage it and tell everyone one "because race car" !

It might just be a sound like the nismo clutch.

I have one, and the thing makes the gearbox make a terrible noise on decel, at 2200-2000. You can read about it on the nismo website itself as a noted characteristic.

      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

      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.
