I would be leaning towards driver abuse....I would imagine that TRD/Toyota/Eaton would have done fair amount of R&D and to have 2 fail only within few weeks of their release.....

Would seem strange its due to the power, isnt the IS350 engine a variant of the Aurions and TRD Aurion engine... just with direct injection? That is good for 230kw and more importantly 380Nm of torque (not heaps less).

yeah the lexus IS350 has 228kw.

wow only 2 in Aust!? :blink: they're not doing TOO WELL i guess! :whistling:

Will be interesting to see the explaination for the failed rods. There's a write up in 'Wheels' on the testing and development they did, seemed to be pretty extensive and Toyota would not release a car if it wasn't proven to be durable. I really don't think it should be cause for concern.

The one that failed was a LOT older than a few weeks, and had sustained a hell of a lot of abuse at the track etc.

At least Toyota's being kind of up front about it, unlike the XR6 turbo's that had to go in for headgasket installation that no-one heard about.

      Replace Front RH park light Corolla 2006

      Hi, I am new to this forum and i hope i can get some help. The mechanic said he can't tell me how it's done. I will keep this in mind before i take a car there again. Interestingly, the manual only refers to the front LH side Replacement of the Front RH park light Corolla 2006, but not the RH side. Could anyone alight me on this? Thank you.

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      The camry/aurion NA ones fit fine with the TRD. The throttlebody is the same diameter etc. The main issue with them is the breather pipes are setup differently but that's not a big deal. I've not seen one designed specifically for the TRD(There are lotus ones but the engine is orientated differently). Some of the intakes designed for the NA version are as follows: -K&N: 69-8611TS -AEM: AEM 21-870C -AF Dynamic: 0715-TV-HS -HPS Shortram: 827-534 I designed and printed a MAF pipe and filter enclosure with an attachment to goto the stock air intake locations but never got around to create the pipe that connects the two together, If you have the ability to print in a high temp resistant material I can probably share my files. I personally use the AEM intake and it works and sounds well.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM
