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

why do you want people to PM you we are all here to try and help and also to learn new things that some of us may not have known

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:

spark plug dont increase power, u need spark plug wire, there is sth called spilt-fire spark plug wire, do increase power. but forget it, just straight do a custom cold air intake and box, will give a better result and at least sth to see when you open bonnet^^"

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.

Thanks jbjb... looked up ngk and denso websites... thinking of going ngk 0.6 irridium plugs... aparently will last 60,000km the 0.8 irridium will last 100,000km but the smaller the tip the better for performance... :rolleyes:

i really need a hi flow exhaust but got quoted $1,000 plue for a s/s custom... will have to wait a while...

would like to get these wheels first...

Hi DJ! Go for silver~ Iridium is even worse performance than cheap Copper~ Did u receive my PM?

$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...

HiTech mufflers is sydney based right?

i remeber seeing them somewhere...

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.

      05 hiace ecu

      Hi all, new member needing some help with an issue that has me stumped, replacing ignition and had a short somehow. Van would not crank or obviously start, found blown fuse and replaced, now car cranks but won’t start, no check engine light when ignition is first turned on and scan tool will not communicate with ecu. All fuses good except fuse 26 on instrument panel fuse box has no power. almost convinced my ecu is cooked but before outlaying for a new one thought someone may either advise another possible cause or confirm ecu likely the issue, appreciate any advise or experience similar.

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      Hey all, recently got a 1989 Hilux with the petrol 22r engine. I had plugged a voltage meter into the 12v socket because I suspected an electrical problem as the battery light had been on. It had read 11.9 volts initially but the more I drive the more it deteriorates, currently sitting at 10.9 (after several hours of driving) when the engine is running. This obviously doesn't charge the battery and it can't start by itself. I have since replaced the battery and yesterday I did the alternator with a brand new one. I've checked all the grounds that I can see but it's still sitting at 10.9 volts and deteriorates over time. I was thinking the voltage regulator is the next best bet? I looked at it visually and it seems fine. Anyone got any other ideas? Note: I had a very long drive the other week and on one occasion the voltage spiked back up to 15+ volts for a short while before going back down to about 11.4 And yeah I'm trying not to drive it too much because I know it's probably damaging the battery being on such low voltage. Any help would be awesome thanks!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Photo below showing remotely mounted relay for sup pump and switch to connect relay coil to earth when required. The earth connection for the switch was found using a test light in an empty relay socket just near where the relay is now mounted. You can trace the solid black wire. Btw, I soldered all the crimp connectors. I don't have a lot of faith in crimp connectors. Geoff

      No, I didn't see a fuel filter, but the inside of the tank was spotless. The pump wasn't running - blocked filter or not. Geoff

      Geoff, did you check the fuel filter that protects the transfer pump from blockages? Tony

      Wanting to build my car.

      I’ve brought my first car a while ago it’s a 2008 Toyota Aurion sportivo zr6 it has 215xxx kms I’ve been wanting to modify it as it is tidy but I’m unsure if I should since the car is this old and I have had to replace the oil cooler lines a month ago (my car dumped its oil on me) just unsure if they go good after a certain age. what I do want to do to it is. wheels lowering springs or coil overs stiffer sway bar exhaust tint all round after market head lights and tail lights (if any of you know decent ones could you shear a link as I’ve only been able to find some on eBay) if there is anything else that would make it look good like body kits if there are any would be nice to know. Thanks in advance IMG_0918.cr2

      2004 hzj79 surging/jolting

      Gday Ive got a problem with my 2004 hzj79 with 235,000kms with no turbo, ive takin it to a few places all have different answers. At 1400rpm just on light throttle it seems to be surging/jolting as if your on and off the accelerator. Ive recently had the head gasket, head, injectors, fuel filters and timming belt all done and is still happening after the works been done. Has anyone else had the same problem before or be able to point me in right direction? Cheers.
