Hey guys,

New guy here :), I just wanted to get some advice from some enthusiasts who actually know their cars inside and out as I'm looking at purchasing a Toyota Aurion Sportivo ZR6 or SX6. Now as far as I can tell the main differences between the two is some cosmetic interiors and a bit of weight.. I'm a P1 driver soon to be P2 and decided that the Aurion is along the lines of a nice V6 with decent economy/maintenance and doesn't rob my wallet like a Ford XR6 or Commodore SV6.

I'm thinking about 24K should get me a decent ZR6 with less then 90,000kms and no scratches/dents.

Is there anything I should consider while looking at the ZR6's because I intend on changing the exhaust for a beefier sound and maybe the tail lights/nice mags can't do much else on my P's unfortunately..

http://tiny.cc/0j3g3 Seems to fit the budget and gives me room to buy some nice alloys and maybe a meaner spoiler and exhaust..

Between those 2, they're pretty much the same.

Ask urself this question. Are you willing to spend more for ZR6 for the Smart entry system? Quite a number of members here would've spent more to get this extra feature.

It seems like additional feature I probably would if it wasn't such a huge cost against the SR6 if the price difference was more then $500 for the smart key vs non I'd really have to weight my options.

You have your answer.. =)

I'd imagine leather seat wouldn't matter for you if you don't care much about Smart entry. SX6 it is.

Don't mean to steal the thread I'll have my Aurion ZR6 up for sale in a few days, with just a tad under 90k, under $24000, with leather/satnav/mags/exhaust etc etc.

My build thread is here

There's plenty of threads around here documenting the differences between the two. I guess it comes down to what extra features you want out of your car. I wanted a sport-luxury sedan, so whatever I bought had to be sporty and have leather. So for me the deciding factor was the leather ad the dual zone climate control. Things like smart start/entry I couldn't have cared less about at the time, but I figured the bit extra for the ZR6 was worth it given all the features it has over the SX6, whether I needed all of them or not.

Shadow - where can I get an SL for under 30K? If I'd managed to find one before now, there wouldn't be one for sale anymore!

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      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.
