"The way in which it works differs from the factory rev limiter in that it is an ignition cut, as opposed to a fuel cut. The reason for this is because if an engine (particularly turbocharged) regularly hits a fuel-cut rev limit (such as in high performance driving, or particularly drifting) engine damage can arise due to the lean condition produced when the original ECU shuts off the fuel pump" as for EXTREMELY bad for the engine.. Im yet to find any bad feed back or problems due to it

DO NOT Trust that web site. You must only use GL4 oil in your J160 6 Speed. All the oils that site list for the Altezza 6MT are GL5. The only synthetic oils I've found that are safe to use are Redline MT-90, TRD 75W90 & Amsoil 75W90 The reason why you don't use GL5 oil is the Altezza/IS J160 6 speed gear box has brass synchro rings. Most GL5 oils contain reactive sulfurs that cause damage to these synchros. So unless you want to rebuild your gear box in the near future don't use GL5. thanks for for that info, also has anyone got an idea of how much i will need ?

thanks mate... off topic.. but according to that site, what the hells an altezza rs180??
-
ive done a search and cant seem to find much info :( what oil, how much oil. for a full gear box oil change on a rs200? ive been into toyota.. they sent me to lexus... between the 2 of them they dont actualy know what oil goes in :S any help is much appreciated

just been out and had a mess around, the clunking is definitely clutch/gear box related.. makes the clunking when the clutch is active
-
ill cut straight to the point, rs200 something big's started rattling/clunking for around the first minute of driving, wether i pull off cold or leave it to warm up. im going to go with.. its around the gear box area. also the car will lose alot of power, struggle to rev up 'feels like the air filter is completly blocked' then go perfectly normal again, and vise versa. if i hold the car at a steady speed/revs it feels like im blipping the throttle. any ideas are much appreciated thanks in advance

After 2nd Hand Carbon Bonet
whitelabelboy replied to whitelabelboy's topic in Modifications & Tuning

BMC in birmingham, ive used them a few times, but i dont think ill be doin it again. any links to pics of ur aristo? i highly think one will be my next car, was kinda high on the insurance tho.
-
finally picked it back up, all sorted. as far as there concerned it was all just loose stuff.... loose wire hence no reverse lights/beepin, and loose 'shaft or somthing' hence no gear 5. seems as tho they never connected the reverse lights wire back up, and my gear 5 seems to go in and out different to the rest, feels also a new part has been fitted. so i dont belive anything was 'loose' i belive their just sh*t and f**ked somthing up. all's well now tho and i very doubt i'll be using that garage again.

im trying to work out if my altezza has a different gear ration to standard. the following is bassed on around 3000rpm gear 1 at 3000rpm = 10mph gear 2 " " 20mph gear 3 " " 30mph gear 4 " " 40 mph gear 5 " " 50 mph gear 6 " " 60mph is this normal, or do you have other??
-
well there mechanic was off ill, so hopefully monday :/
-
well hopefully they sort it on wednesday
-
when i got got it back from the having a new clutch the gear stick was too far to the left and wouldnt go into reverse with out hitting the hand brake, they managed to move it more towards the right, which feels to me how it has always been. as for the 5th gear, it will pop in and out with or with out the clutch being pushed in, it sort of pops in and out but hasnt got the clicky feeling asif its actualy in a gear, and just revs in gear 5.
-
supposivly according to alot of different sites the rs200 can use the is200 clutch aslong as using the is200 release bearing too. which i am.
-
well i had my clutch and spigot bearing changed, when i picked my car back up, i have no gear 5, no reverse beeping or reverse lights. it goes back to the garage on wednesday, but im interested if anyone as any possible explinations? as i now feel as tho the garage i took it too havent got a clue
-
just had an is200 clutch kit fitted on my altezza. so i hear this is fine aslong as i use an is200 realsing bearing. whilst driving back from the garage i find out i have no gear 5, 'i dont need to push the clutch in and it will go in and out of 5' but just revs up. all the other gears are fine. any ideas why this would happen? i will be going back to the garage tomorow, im jsut interested??
-
can an is200 spigot bearing be used on an altezza?? thanks in advance
-
well yea, the standard plugs should be the ik20's how ever with decent performance mods you may want to try ik22's i'll try giving my sensor a clean see if it helps with my flap spot top end.
