Hi Guys,

Just wanted to say hey to the online community here.

Im new to sydney (from perth) and new to the car scene. never owned my own car to do my own mods but have only helped others with mods on their own cars and helped to customize (looks) cars for toyota owners.

im about to get out of a company car and buy a toyota rukus as they hit the showroom (as long as they drive as nice as they feel and look to sit in).

i have alot of interest in music/tattoo culture so i will be trying to rod it up more than likely and was hoping to find some more people to hang out with and meet in sydney with the same interests for toyotas and so on.

look forward to getting some tips and meeting people

Swise

There is a big one in sydney shortly, the national meet. Alot of guys from brisbane/melb will be there too.

The rukus should be out before then so you sould come along. I would love to see one IRL, I really like the look of the them.

yeah well i took one for a drive today it's such a rad car but they dont have the spec and colour i want available so its a factory order... which kind of sucks but as soon as i get it i will catch up with anyone/everyone. but i would probably like to come down to the national meet anyways.

Welcome mate...look forward to seeing the progression on this one.

hopefully see you at the national meet in June. :)

thanks 1stKill will keep everyone posted once i get it - first on the list is a decent set of alloys the old spec conquest alloys just dont quite cut it on the car and the stock ride height is just to high that it makes the wheels look tiny on the car much like an SR5.

look forward to meeting people i should be there in june.

Ooh, is the Rukus available for viewing in dealers right now? I think I'll drop by the Toyota dealer today, if that's the case.

Welcome to the club btw.

Welcome to the club btw.

some dealers have a "presale" demo which means you can go look at it and test drive it but they arent being released til the 1st of june for pick up if you were to purchase. dealers do have pricing for the cars but there is no brochures or accessories list yet but im lead to believe toyota will be putting out a pretty decent list of genuine accessories.

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊

      2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

      Hi guys, my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery. The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water. The car has a snorkel, however, the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet. What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Definitely can't get the pump out through the hole in the floor. The top of the pump has a larger diameter than the hole. 2nd pump has arrived from the wrecker. I will be removing the tank and installing it today.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Jeez that's unfortunate. Here's hoping the next one makes it to the right place. I've spent a long time looking, but I haven't seen any videos or images where that mechanism has come out through the inspection hole - I really hope I've just been looking in the wrong place! I've got my fingers crossed for you Geoff!!

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      How easy is it to replace power steering pump?

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?
