Carbon_Bullet Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i have a mkiv supra jap import non turbo manual.., i was surpose to be attending this RAF Marham track day so i thought i would take the car and give it a bit of a beating on the roads. good job i did as something has just broke or needs attension some crazy ass noise is constantly coming from the underneath of my car, it sounds abit like a plastic card hitting bike spokes as the wheel rotates, (best i can explain)an it gets alot worse as i accelrate , if i floor it i sometimes loose complete accelration, the underneath was smoken like a bugger too, sounds to me like the clutch has gone or has anyone had the same problem? just wanna make sure before i buy a new clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Dont take it there as you will end up with a stock clutch. (no use if you go single) Give some local traders a tinkle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 gonna have too, do you deffo think it sounds like the clutch, was looken under the car with engine running an its smoken like a #~/.*, anyways just spoke to a mate an he said sounds like the gearbox is smashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 found the problem, just had 2 mechanics onto it and they both said i have blown the big crank, so i have pretty much blown the engine , so gonna cost me alot to fix, so i may aswel by a new engine anyone selling one, is worth goen for twin turbo ?

RobSheffield Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 'the big crank'? I find that slightly hard to believe. I would take it to one of the larger traders on here, on a trailer if needs be, and find out whats actually wrong, not a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon_Bullet Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 think its the slang way of sayen it, but what ive done is shatter the rods of the crank.. will get a third opinion tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Mate, I think they dont have a clue what they are on about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt _Aero top_ Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Jezza will drop you in a tt fitted for 3 grand all engines have less then 80k on and get a full belt change and service . But like rob said get another opinion as these toyota engines are pretty solid lumps and can take some cosh , so for this to have happened is unlikely .

Carbon_Bullet Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 my bad head 'the big crank' i mean the big end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 How the heck did the big ends go in an NA? Is it a complete dog or not been serviced for years? I don't think I've ever heard of an NA engine failure before now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 How the heck did the big ends go in an NA? Is it a complete dog or not been serviced for years? I don't think I've ever heard of an NA engine failure before now. Thats 2 in one week! My mates NA randomly threw its big ends this week as well.

Stevie Boy Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I can understand the reciprocating noise maybe being diagnosed as the Big end bearing failure but does that explain the smoke he says is pouring from underneath middle of the car?
