Just an FYI to everyone and also so we have it on record for anyone searching in the future.

Been running around trying to get hold of replacement brake pads for the Aurion, and want something better than stock.

Bendix has listed the front brake pad as a DB1800.

But I've found that the model on my Aurion is DB1474 (rear DB1475)

Also, the highest performing brake pads I could find is the Bendix Ultimates

Ignore the Catalogue because its not listed and don't bother calling Bendix cause they don't appear to know they have it.

Ask you nearest friendly Auto-one guy to source it.

I just got mine changed.....Toyota charged me about $500 for both front and rear for the genuine TRD ones (if there is such a thing). The mechanic said they're supposed to be performance brakes so more expensive. They seem to do a pretty good job.

Toyota said the brakes on the Aurion are different from the TRD, but I haven't really looked at a TRD to confirm.

Anyway, the parts guy also said he can't sell me TRD ones without a TRD VIN number... :blink: They're really up themselves on the TRD brand aren't they? No offence intended to you though...

Anyway, Racebrakes in Victoria are able to tailor make brake pads in the RB74 "race" compound for under $200 if you ever want to go away from the TRD thingys. I've ordered a set.

Quote:

RB74 - This is a pad that's been well proven in sprint races under cars such as HSVs, WRXs and other turbo cars. Creating little wear, it gives a coef of 0.43 at up to 500 degrees C. It also works well on the street, with very good low temperature effectiveness.

The TRD ones are supposed to be Ferodo HP 1000 compound pads.

How many kms did you get out of them??

30,000kms. I haven't done THAT much hard braking with it, I suspect the previous owners (the lovely people at the Queensland Police Service) had some fun with it. I love the brakes on the TRD, they are absolutely phenomenal. Probably the best brakes of any car I've driven so far.

My parts department wont quote anything without a VIN number...

It not because they are up themselves...

It's so they know they're quoting the right part and the right price so it doesn't come back and bite them in the *****...

I can understand that but I was specifically told,

"I cannot sell you TRD parts unless you have a TRD vin..."

Yeah, I guess it all comes down to the parts department themselves. For one of them, I easily got a quote and expected order time for a part for the TRD. He simply turned the screen around and asked me to point out the part. When I was buying a replacement rear light for my Aurion and getting a quote for the mirrors (for the US forums), they just asked for my VIN to make sure there are no variances in the parts design.

Actually to further clarify, when i mean "they", its got nothing to do with the individual staff.

As far as I'm concerned, all my dealings with Toyota staff across 4 different dealerships in Sydney have been fantastic.

"they" is in reference to the policy makers which I would assume would've provided such instructions to the staff.

however, it now all makes a little more sense to not sell trd parts to non-trd owners as the trd's are no longer being produced. seems unfair to exhaust genuine parts others need

Did't realise they had wound up production, any idea why? i.e. not enough demand

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      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.
