Anyone else going to the Circuit Club day @ Wakefield on the 13th of December?

I'm paid and booked in but I don't think my Civic is going to be ready so I might take the bog stock Aurion and see what it can do. I'm banking on 1:14s, or 1:15s. LOL

Has anyone fitted oil temp and water temp guages in their Aurion? Curious to see where to mount the sensors.

Also, has anyone mounted a Transmission cooler?

Cheers

the TRD comes stock with a transmission cooler and im sure that would be able to be fitted without to much stuffing around(you can see it behind the grill if you look at a photo of one), it would surely burn a hole in ur pocket tho

Hey cool...Never off topic buddy :-)

Might be the opportunity to work on my lines and show some H. Euros Toyota's superiority... :toast:

hahaha...

LOL. A number of aftermarket oil coolers like Hayden, Derale go for about $100. Only dodgy thing is the hose clamps.

Maybe I'll pay a visit to Earls and see what can be dug up cheaply.

Probably download some of the Workshop manuals tonight (at work now - and the sites been banned :-p) to see how it can be connected.

Running the oil temp guage is probably more important as I'm not running an oil cooler and just need to watch those oil temps.

I tested a stock FD2R in Singapore at a local track and much to the owner's chagrin, oil temps started hitting 140 degrees when he himself couldn't get it above 120...LOL...then again there was a difference in lap times by about 15 seconds around the 3.9km circuit.

i'm curious to also see how the michelins will hold up...LOL...

I didn't realise this until I saw the workshop manual last night. That saves me abit of a headache, what i'll do is just mount a couple of temperature probs and monitor the oil temps.

Regarding mounting the temperature probes, I'm thinking at this time splicing the hose leading to the transmission cooler (and oil cooler as well) and putting a probe there. I think the parts can probably be sourced from Earls.

Unless someone else has a better idea

*Edit*

Well it seems that there's a plug under the cooler hoses used to measure transmission fluid pressure. I'm pretty sure the temperature probe can be adapted to fit eliminating the need to cut any hoses.

Additionally, it would also seem that there is a Transmission fluid temperature monitor. Wonder what that does?

The TRDs use an external cooler as well as the in radiator transmission cooler.

Have you thought about using a ScanGauge II with the XGauge to monitor the temps?

Scan Gauge won't tell transmission oil temps.

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
