Hey guys/girls,

I need some ideas for removing oil stains from my driveway.

They are dry stains that have been there for a while and some are only a few months old.

Already searched the web and found that kitty litter should help with the fresh ones.

Anyone have any great tips?

Cheers,

DK

ehhhhhhhhh too much effort haha I should have never knocked it over

Got a few cans of degreaser and some kitty litter.

Haven't got a high pressure washer so I will have to see how things go.

Anyone used petrol before to clean it off?

Kill it with FIRE!!! :devil:

Try Petty if you wish. Bleach? Sulphuric Acid? Sodium Bicarbonate and Vinegar? Box of Laundry Powder, Hot Water, Toothbrush and a knife to the Missus's Throat?

Damn you kids are lazy today. :P

Sorry Jason it was concrete
Ended up using carby cleaner and a scrubbing brush.

Tried like 5 different things I read on the internet and that worked the best.

Couldn't find any Hydrochloric acid
But I did use drain cleaner and that worked wonders, it made my skin come off my knuckles however lol

    • 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.
