Completely disassembled my rear brakes and grinded, sanded and then washed them prior to color coding them to match the new front brakes.

Also ground the rough surface of my new front brakes and repainted them. Came up looking heaps better.

Thanks for helping with the seals, going to look mint once I de-tape them.

Car desperately needs a clean now though, especially inside :blink:

Changed the oil filter and oil and in the process of removing the blasted oil filter, oil is EVERYWHERE... Whoever designed the oil filter placement on the 1mz should be shot!

In other news, I just ordered an item from MWR. :ph34r:

Finally, you'll be able to flog me instantly instead of catching up then flogging me due to wheelspin.

Re-wired my headlights yesterday, only to have the retaining screw for the passenger-side low beam spring clip strip it's thread. Considering all the previous drama I've had with these headlights, that was the last straw, so bodgied it up as best I could to get all lights working again, then immediately went inside, jumped on eBay, and bought myself a new set of BZ Touring copies.

yesterday Rolly had all the dust washed off him after not moving for a week... then Lawz came over and I serviced my air filter and we had a crack at removing all the crappy resonators that dampen all the intake noise... got one extra one off and have made what's left a semi functional cold air intake tube... just doesn't really feed to a vent, but the area that the air would be starting to get sucked from is quite cold, and if i wanna go hard out i can always remove the passenger side headlight lol... managed some extra noise and raspy throatiness from it and maybe like an extra -0.2 of a second less lag from acceleration to hardcore sucking ;) so i'm happy with that...

Today - Service, new steering rack ends, and a cat back sports exhaust... :yahoo:

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
