Hey all,

Just wanna let u all know (especially the people in Sydney) DO NOT Go to JAX TYRES at Thornleigh. The MANAGERs SUX!

just today, had to swap my alloys with steels (nuts were provided by me), at first they were going to charged me $30 :blink: , negotiated with him and he said "ill see how long it will take" :angry: long story short, at the end I paid $20 for a 4minutes job.

When my brother took his Supra there for a new set of tyres, they took it a test drive after, BUT when he took his OLD BOMB Civic for a new set of tyres they DIDN'T take it for a test drive and gave the keys to him. <_< :blink: Aren't they supposed to take it for a spin, check the tyres are properly fitted and balanced? (oh man, these guys reminds me of K-Mart Auto at Castle Hill, they too are CRAP! took my car for a 15mins drive, with AIR COND ON)

months before this, I asked Bridgestone Waitara to swap my steels with the alloys and they did it for FREE :toast: (They even told me that i'm missing a ring for one of the alloys).

I'm so NEVER going back to that shop AGAIN! I gave me one more chance today thought they've changed but I was wrong.....

They have to make something off the work that they're doing otherwise they won't last long in Business...

$20 is pretty cheap for a wheel swap for someone who's just walked in off the street...

Most tyre shops won't take cars for test drives unless they do wheel alignments...

Just wondering if Waitara did it for free last time, why didn't you go there again???

And if you don't wanna pay for a wheel swap then get out your jack and wheelbrace lol...

I didn't have time, as this afternoon was my only free time for this week. I was planning to go there, but traffic was horrible. I was thinking of doing it myself, but our driveway still wet from the rain and its as steep as mt everest. Plus im jst too weak n lazy...

and yeah they did wheel alignments to the two cars.... <_< suss....

LOL dude I would have just gone for the wheel brace and trolley jack option too... You didn't have time but you drove all the way to a tyre shop to get it done?

Hahaha it's funny they took the Supra for a tester, didn't even try to make it inconspicuous!

Mabe its just Jax anywhere then. I very recently spent $1850 on new rims and tyres at a Jax Quick Fit. After driving my car for a day it felt really weird so I took it to my local Beaurepairs to have it checked (the Jax store is a hour drive from me and I didnt want to drive that far how it was). After checking my car it was found that no one of the tyres had the same pressure in it as well as ....

Rear Axle individual toe left - +3.3mm, right - -0.3mm

Front Axle individual toe left - -2.9mm, right - +5.0mm

Beaurepairs was horrified at how bad it was. I am heading to the Jax store this week to have a few words and will NEVER be going back. :angry:

Paid $55 for one according to the invoice. I agree though, they couldn't possibly have done one, just charged me for it. <_<

well i just got an insider news....

my friend he used to work for JAX TYRES, you know how you can fill up your tyres with nitro.... well if you ask them during the busy peak, they'll probably will fill you up with normal air.... even though you paid $3/tyre.

the shop where this person used to work, they do it regularly. The best day to get it done is monday, as its the quietest.... Just a tip from this person. :)

Yeah that wouldnt surprise me. I reckon Jax charged me for a wheel alignment and didnt to that either. Jax in NQ charge $8 a tyre for Nitro. <_<

Lol. :D All I can say is I will never, ever go there again. Found another prob today, we went to take my wheels off to paint my calipers and we couldnt get them off. They had tightened them so much with the rattle gun that we had to go find someone that had one to get them off. :angry:

Lucky I didnt get a flat somewhere...I wouldnt of been able to change it :(

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      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.
