there are "platinum" spark plugs... they'r expensive around 3-4times the price of a normal one... they do give a bigger bang... doesn't really make that big of a difference though... but they do last longer

very very sorry, i didnt mean tat... very sorry for this misunderstanding

ok, my experienced friend playing with skylines and silvia DO this to increase performance... they found somebody in melb selling for V6 camry 05, but not 4cyl camry... tats why i asked if anyone done it for their camry...

i found some of these before in oversea, but the shipping cost is too scary, tats why i was hoping for sth in melb... but nvm, i wanna play with aurion, more fun^^

x2 for that!

Platinum plugs last more than twice compare with the normal/stock plugs. Don't know whether they give more hp, but all i can tell you 1kw or 5kw gain, you will not be able to feel it. :spiteful:

Thats the first Ive heard Platinum spark plugs increasing power! In fact from what Ive read at forums with far more knowledgable people then myself is that alot of performance cars (Turboed vehciles and the like) dont go with Platinums as due to higher combustion temperatures they cant withstand it as well.

Hey i reckon platinum spark plugs is worse invention for a performance seeker. I am a great spark plug taster, has experienced platium/copper/iridium.....i found platinum is worst at performance...but at least very durable..100,000KM.

One hint to you & save ur money. You can adjust ur spark plug gap to 1.3mm with normal copper spark plug, and it definitely gives you more pwr coz i found the electrical conductivity of copper is much higher than platinum, and bigger gap will have big spark plug as well.

Isnt there a sticker under the bonnett that says only use twin ground electrode type spark plugs... namely toyota / denso or something you buy from the toyota dealer??

I went into autobarn and they told me about the irridium plugs... mine are due for their first change soon and i want to learn to DIY... i bought a gregorys repair manual and should have enough tools to do the job but im not sure weather to go platinum for $16 / plug or Irridium for $22 / plug... oh and i want hi performance leads too...

Im reading these pages every night...

any one got prices for parts?

No worry about the label from Toyota, coz the reason why they stick with that plantinum is to maintain the durability (100,000KM interval) and their reputation as well, but sacrify the performance. Perhaps you could refer below conductivity table, it could help u to come out best one.

$1000 is quite expensive, but it's stainless steel I guess...

Got quoted $280 for mild steel cat back with free flow muffler and chrome tip. Add $280 for hi flow cat.

$1000 for a stainless steel exhaust system is about average...

Hi Tech Mufflers offer a 10 year warranty with their stainless systems...

Very highly recommended...

I believe no matter what kinds of top range spark plugs need to come with high performance lead to boost up its max. I heard 'top gun' this brand, you could find in autobarn or normal mechanic shop, but not sure the price for V6 Gen4?? I think it's real Oz made....

@ present, i am using NGK lead-power cables have thicker outlook-9mm with blue color; the acceleration is much more joyful and quick response when u kick down.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
