Shifted the rear sway bar back to even and installed the Whiteline RSB locks today.

So far, the bar hasn't shifted but I might replace the standard bolts with something abit tougher as the heads are far too soft, even using the allen key in the lowest leverage way.

Cursed loudly after my wife finished phoning me to tell me she'd scratched the rear passenger panel all the way down the panel this morning on our Aurion.

So I've been really quiet on this forum lately. Probably because nothing new has been happening with my car besides putting fuel in it but that changed today and will change again tomorrow.

Few days ago I got my supplies from Toyota and supercheap to give my car it's 6 monthly oil change. Everything went well with the oil change but boy did I feel stupid when I forgot something. I put everything back together and started throwing out the trash. When I picked the oil filter box off the ground I look inside (smack it hit me), I forgot to put in the filter cartridge. Major fail. So had to get all the tools again to unscrew the filter housing.

Started the car and let it sit for three minutes to check for any leaks. All went well, no leaks, then took the car for a quick cruise around the block, came back and checked oil level. Everything A-ok!

To compliment the cars oil change I finally gave it a wash (it had been weeks and the car looked shocking) so I gave her two washes, did the leather treatment inside, dash treatment, vacuum, windows, tyre shine, clean engine bay etc.

So everything is now in immaculate condition :D.

And tomorrow I'll be heading off to JB HiFi to check out a system for the car :)

Installed the new bonnet-headlight seal that I got after 6 weeks of waiting for it to come from Japan (only to be told that the other one I ordered was NLA)....time to start scouting wreckers for good-condition bonnets to nick the second seal from.

      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!!! :)
