Hey Peoples

Im so bloody upset :P I've just noticed now the thingy that records how many KM you've done has stopped moving... Also the little thingy that records upto 999km (the thing you can reset) has stopped changing as well.....

The speedo/tacho/everything else is all operational.

I believe it can stop if its been wound back ??? Is it possible whatevers making it move has just broken ??

I just sort of relised now "hmmm i've been on 84k km for a long time now" :D

Anyways just wondering is there anything i should check ? Should I just goto an auto electrician or something ?? will they be able to see if the car has been wound back ?

thanks heaps:)

I guess thats one way of looking at it :D

I'd prefer to know though when my 100k km service is due though, as oposed to taking it on the 200k km :)

All seems to be working again though :D

Wouldn't you like it to stop working? To keep the Km's down? :(

"Mmmm, unexplained bacon."

Had the same thing.Once it stopped working, then when I was sitting at the lights it started rotating on it`s own,weird.Has happened about three times in 140,oookm`s.Hasn`t done it for a while though.

bloody hell its stopped working again

doesnt seem to want to work again now..

anyone got any ideas at all ????????

woah!! exact same thing here!! you're going to find she'll stop and start quite unreliably of it's own accord now. Mine's stuck or shuffles around the 91K mark now!!!

ok peoples..

i stupidily took the dash out just now... kinda got abit bored and my car/garage is way to close to my room :D

anyways i got to the odometer thingy and it wouldnt go forward or backwards realy, i poked at one of the main cogs for a while and sprayed some of that wd40 stuff.. got anoyed.. then poked at it somemore.. and it seems to go forwards smoothly now. you can kinda see what the problem is.. just need to poke at it..

I havnt actualy put it back in the car yet :angry: but i shall tommorow night after work, im fairly certain theres no way in hell im going to get the dash all back in, in one piece but im so excited to c if the odometer thingy works now ;)

i've got a feeling it will work but i will have screwed the speedo or something.. but its always exciting to see whats broken next :)

saved myself $200 if it all works however :) if not would of had to take out dash anyways... i guess.......

i stuck just the cluster bak in the car and the odometer/tripometer start rolling away nicely!!!!!!

its working like a charm now... tested it a few times now and it seems to be working fine, for now anyways i guess :)

yay !!!!!

just goto put the rest of the dash back in now grr :O

hmm the ol speedo is out by 20km now ;)

I had a play with it.. first it was below 20... then over by 20...

is there some trick to finding the right spot in the middle when you put the needle thing back on ????

sweet mother of god

i must of taken the cluster on/off my car atleast 30 times trying to find the right position for the needle.. it kept wanting to either jump forwards when you put the key in, or stay at 0 and be under 20km..

in the end i relised u can leave it in the car and just remove the plastic at the front ;)

it seems to be finaly working ok again :D i was comparing it the pfc and it seems to be off by like 2 or 3km but i dont think it was 100% to the pfc before hand.

:)

    • 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.
