Just for those out there who are curious how much a ZRE can drink.. :whistling:

It's only been less than 4,000kms since the last service, but decided to change the oil since I did a track day shortly after the last service and I'm about to drive to Qld for the annual meet. :) And thank goodness it was changed; oil was darker than all pervious servicing I done at 10,000kms! :blink:

Then clay'd and polished the car. I guess I did something right. By I, I mean Vinh, Johnny and I. :P

Thanks mate! Yep, it's 1.8L 2ZR-FE.

Mad offset bro! :whistling:

So my ZRE survived the trip to the Annual Meet in QLD! Got two nail punctures in the front right. Put the spare on (Man, it felt weird!). Found out that one nail was too close to the side wall, that tyre was pretty much gone.

Went to my tyre dealer I usually go to, found out that they don't make Toyos T1Rs anymore; they were replaced by T1 Sports which looked less aggressive. Before ordering 2x Toyo T1 Sports for the fronts, I quickly read a few reviews and most of them said they were better than the T1Rs in dry/wet performance and in noise. I haven't driven much on the T1 Sports, but first impressions are that they are definitely less noisy! Performance wise, I'm yet to find out!

The guy at the tyre dealer was good to me. In the period I was waiting for the toyos to come, he gave me a spare 225/45 tyre for me to drive, rather than me driving on my spare. Not bad of a tyre in the dry, but I felt it was not good in the wet.

Thanks for reading!

P.s. Been driving this beast for work while mine gets fixed. D22/D40s are generally bulletproof!

Hehehe I should find another 17x8 rim and put that as my spare; as now I got a spare T1R lying around. Driving on that spare made me remember what difference the 8" wide and toyos made!

where on the bottom of the car are you lifting it from?

There is a point under the side skirt for lifting. I usually do not lift it from the side but from the lifting points at the front and back.

There are no real updates, just a shot from a meet yesterday. :)

Thinking about full exhaust with twinloop muffler. "Thinking", because I do not want it too loud! :unsure:

Still thinking about full exhaust. Maybe I have to drive Huey's or Jay's car first; I want it more subtle. :rolleyes:

Winton was so fun! Shame I only pushed it in the last 3 laps after your instructions Trung! :lol: Talking about Winton, interested in the one on Cup day! :spiteful:

      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!!! :)
