Bought this TRD strut bar from the States a while ago and thought i did my homework by measuring sedans and hatches and what US has thats Jap built and so on, got it and all excited and was a perfect fit,EXCEPT for one minor thing,cos its for LHD the brake fluid reservoir was in the way,one thing i overlooked then..

I guess now iknow what the kink in the bar was for :whistling: Was nice too,oh well..

Priced the C-One bar and about $400 shipped but i dont like the look of it. TOMS have one too and i think Prolex UK have them and the Cusco one which i cant find anywhere. Any more then please let us know thanks.. :)

trd one looks nice, anyway of moving or reloating the brake fluid by a little? but I think TOM looks subtle and my pick would be TOM..

how much did the trd one cost (incl shipping)

Wasnt worth the trouble, I think i paid about $330 AUD shipped and sold it for $300 so could've been worse i guess..

Toms looks OK too but UK has highest postage in the world(fact) but i'll price it and post it up when i can.. Cusco would be the cheapest but cant seem to find it yet.

sad to hear john.

would be really interested in the braces if you could get hold of one that would fit. i think another fella had the same problem that you have on ebay, unless youre the one that posted it on ebay lol.

330 shipped is damn cheap for TRD considered good buy but a bummer that it didnt fit..

For 400 odd dollars for another strut bar I would just cut up the TRD one and make it fit. Cut out the actual strut and reuse the mounts and weld a bar in that fits. It is pretty useless to you if it doesn't fit and the costs of selling it back to someone in the USA would leave you at a loss anyway, so may as well make the best out of it. And you can have it powder coated red again if you want to keep it looking TRD.

Sorry to hear about your mishap John.

I managed to get some Cusco part numbers that you and fellow ZRE owners might be interested in.:)

- Front Strut Brace = 942 540 A

- Front Underbody Brace = 942 475 A

- Front Sway Bar = 925 311 A30

- Rear Sway Bar = 942 311 B16

All these can be ordered through Nengun auctions, and i'm pretty sure JDM Yard can import Cusco parts aswell.

Well the TOMS one is $428AUD not shipped so forget that one.

Found a pic of the Cusco one and is similar to C-One bar.

      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!!! :)
