  2. Hi, I have finally had a 3" turbo back exhaust fitted. The vehicle is now far more rapid in it's throttle response and is a pleasure to drive. I have not yet had the chance to ascertain if it has made a difference to fuel economy . Very happy so far. My 2002 vehicle, New Zealand, new, does not have any of the smog fittings EGR, Cat etc. so I am not breaking any laws.
  3. the American market got the 4Runner in petrol only.(my fellow colleague's from work who are American an love the tracks new right away what a 4Runner looks like, but never heard of a diesel one) New Zealand market got the 4Runner in 2.8D(engine named 3L) i’m sure they would have came out petrol in New Zealand aswell, but yet to have seen one. The 3L is a legendary motor, ”never late in a 2.8”. Yet it is under powered on hills it is extremely cheap to run an is good on road an off road, an with a turbo added changes the game. 4runner in New Zealand was a New Zealand new, made for New Zealand. While my understand with surfs is they weren’t New Zealand new.(possibly some but ones with Japanese writing is not) correct me if I’m wrong but that has been the information garages have told me and old farmers that get a smile on they face to see them ticking along like they did back in the day. once again never late in a 2.8 🙂 kaleb
  4. Hi Stuart, Check around the wheel that went into the pot hole, it sounds like something gave there. Jack the car up to do it. Herb
  5. Hi all i have a 2019 Hilux rouge and today i drove over a few potholes that were a little larger than expected, was not travelling at speed. I now have a metallic rattle that turns up around 40-50kms on acceleration then disappear when at a complete stop, Can also feel it in the steering when turning. The sound was instant like something was dislodged but not its inconsistent could take 200m or 2kms but always goes away when stationary. i have had a good look under for loose/foreign object but all looks good cv’s and tail shaft feel good, bash plates tight, exhaust tight
  6. Hi All, Thinking of buying a 2018 LC 200 Sahara with high km but full history but the steering is very heavy no matter what, now there are no leaks, noises or obvious signs that would cause the issue but ive heard its electronic progressive steering is there a common fault with a electric motor or module in the steering system that is the issue? Answers greatly appreciated in advance.

  8. Hi Charlie, Im in the same boat as you. Can you confirm these mirror fit yours ? Mine is a 2002 Hilux LN147R, im assuming these will take the same mirror? Cheers
  9. I like Toyotas. :D I have a 2007 V6 Hilux and a 2018 Rav 4. In the past I've had Corollas, Celicas (18R-GE), Hilux's and Supras. My Hilux has headers which definitely let her breathe more. Next Toyota will hopefully be a Tundra unless you clever folk convince me otherwise.
  10. Hello I leave in France And I have exactly the same problem with my 2008 Toyota vdj 200. Starter sticking in one or two seconds after the engine start. The starter Is new also. Thank’s for your answer. Best regard. Yanick
  11. Thanks for all this info. We have a 2018 Rav I'd like to do the same too. Does the reversing camera guidelines still move when you turn the steering wheel? Do the parking sensors still work? Did you get the DAB working?
  12. I'm sorry I don't have answers for you but I'm commenting to get updates as I want to do the same upgrade. Do your parking sensors still work? Does the reversing camera with the steering angle guide still work? Does DAB work?
  13. May I add only use alloy or steel concentric hub rings NEVER use poly (plastic). sized like Hub Centric Rings OD= 56.1 mm ID= 54.1 mm - Aluminium Alloy Plenty on Ebay, less than $20 set of 4.or from tyre services
  14. 100% agree and support the need to use the hub spacers for safety. Without the hub spacers there is more pressure on the wheel studs which is not an issue until the studs shear off or nuts loosen and there goes the wheel. Fortunately not direct experience just recalling internet posts explaining about hub spacers and why wheels can come off vehicles.
  15. As you see the 86 center bore is larger requiring the use of hub spacers to make a safe but possible fit to your Corolla this should be your Corolla PCD specs. Center Bore / Hub Bore: 54.1 mm Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5x100 Wheel Fasteners: Lug nuts Thread Size: M12 x 1.5 this should be the 86 specs Center Bore / Hub Bore: 56.1 mm Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5x100 Wheel Fasteners: Lug nuts Thread Size: M12 x 1.25
  16. Hey guys, I have seen some Toyota 86 wheels for sale and I have a 2014 corolla sedan zre172r, will they fit I also live in Australia. Thanks for any help
  17. Hi first post here thinking of buying a ln106 hilux with a kzn165 cab but apparently it needs dash wired to engine how hard would that be or can I buy a loom for it?
  18. In addition to my post regarding the 1986Toyota YH Hi-Ace Van/Wagon 2.0 Litre (3Y) Petrol Engine, I forgot to mention that the vehicle comed with front/rear refridgerated air conditioning. The vehicle is not a high roof, but is a long wheelbased model.
  19. I have a 1986 Toyota Hi-Ace Van/Wagon for sale. The vehicle was purchased for conversion into a campervan, but I have been unable to commence any work due to other commitments. It is a 4 speed manual The vehicle is in remarkable condition given it's age, with very little rust or dents. It is currently unregistered and needs a roadwothy certificate. The seats and upholstery are in good condition. The engine is a 2.0 Litre (3Y), and has completed 287553kms. Once started and warmed up the engine is smooth and doesn't emit any visible smoke or pollution. I have recently replaced the battery, alternator, wipers, headlights, front disc pads, rear brake drums and shoes/linings. I have also cleaned/flushed radiator and replaced thermostat,oil filter,spark plugs,fuel filter,air filter,power steering fluid and brake fluid. I have also checked and cleaned the distributor and leads. All wheel bearings have been checked, cleaned and repacked. The gearbox is in A1 condition, without any noticeable problems. The vehicle comes with a Gregorys Hi-Ace Service and Repair Manual The vehicle comes with an In-car Flip Down TFT LCD Monitor/DVD Player, a JVC KD-DV5000 Head Unit, Alloy Front Bullbar, Towbar and wiring, Spare set of 4 Alloy Wheels, Tyres will need to be replaced on all wheels. My estimation is that the vehicle should pass a roadworthy certificate without too much further expense. With the reliability that Toyota is renowned for this vehicle still has plenty iof life to give. Priced at $3000 (firm). Please contact me for further information.

  20. Bought an 86 hj75, they looped this, was wondering if any could tell me the correct connection points please. https://postimg.cc/SjBx3bc0
  21. 2022 LC 300 Vx 12,000Kms - Message on dash - Engine Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer Interestingly, When car starts, wrench symbol and 6904kms - Then no wrench symbol and actual kms I know another LC 300 owner who had the same message, ended up being an injector cap issue on cylinder 5. Does anyone have any further to contribute. thankyou
  22. On our Rav (2016 diesel auto) the "power" button changes the transmission shift patterns noticeably. The "economy" button doesn't seem to have any effect at all & it doesn't seem to improve fuel economy at all. Does yours do anything?
  23. I suspect some spirited short distance urban driving and quite possibly lots of highway driving in that displayed 573 kms. Also the battery size in a hybrid is relatively small such that it can only operate on full electric for a short distance before the engine kicks in to recharge it. Hopefully, hybrid owners will post based upon their actual real life experience as to whether 7.5L/100km is a cause for concern or not.
  24. He just bought it from a Toyota dealership. The actual and on-paper average can vary, I know but why it is showing 7.6L/100km? What can be the cause to push the average so high?
  25. Your question is essentially about the difference between real world results vs a comparative test result. https://www.greenvehicleguide.gov.au/pages/ToolsAndCalculators/FuelConsumptionLabel https://www.carexpert.com.au/toyota/camry/2022-sl-hybrid-d309bbf5 Following review mentioned the fuel efficiency figures of 5.5 and 5.2L/100 km actually achieved and this is for a new vehicle. https://www.drive.com.au/reviews/2022-toyota-camry-sx-hybrid-review/ How about some very specific details of your friend's Camry i.e. year, mode,l odometer reading etc and some clues about its service history, mechanical condition and the battery etc? How about data for analysis underlying the 7.6L/100km? This also assumes that the correct fuel 95 Premium Unleaded is being used.
  26. Hey guys, A friend's Camry is showing an average of 7.6L/100km while the manual says it's 4.2L/100km. what can be the reasons? was it because the previous owner was a race driver or something? 😉
