Hi Guys,

Been a while since I posted on here with my last issue (not really) and I am yet again seeking some help on how to fix the following issues.

I took my car to a local south side mechanic, as I was driving down the motor way and suddenly lost compression in the brakes.

Here is the report I got back, and also a quote of $1187.

Found rear left brake calliper piston seal is leaking brake fluid & mounting bolt has been sheared off.

Recommended Action: Overhaul rear calliper, replace carrier mount.

I am going to head over to ABC Auto group Oxley and see if I can get the parts I need. Unfortunatly I have no idea how to put it all together, and I am dead broke, seen as how I have been studying the last 9 months and still have 8 months to go :(

If anyone can help me out here, there is a carton of ***** in it for you, and I can take you out to belmont rifle range and pistol section, and you can have a crack. It's a good day out, you can bring a mate.

I am desperate to get this fkn thing fixed as I really dont want to have to catch a 2 buses and a train every day.

Cheers guys I appreciate any imput esspecially if someone can give me a hand on how to do it myself :)

Sounds like a rip off to me at that price... you could probably find a caliper at a wrecker for cheap or someone who knows what they are doing could replace the seal. The mounting bolt sounds like the trickiest part.. do you know someone with a welder? I also enjoy the old pistols and rifles.. I have a 308 Ruger myself.. :spiteful: I want to to get a pistol licence next. Wish I could help mate.. too far away.

get a new caliper and possibly hub assembly and some brake fluid and I will be able to do this for you.

If the car is a ST182,3,4 the rear hub assy. is the same as a gen 3/4 so just get the bits from ABC at wacol (they do have some celicas in there too), should cost you less than $50

I need to go there myself anyway on the weekend, so you could come with and I can help you grab the parts if your keen.

Well she is all fixed, thanks to Mick. He is a top bloke and very informative, Saved me over $1000 from bull**** artist mechanics who listed each problem seperatly to charge more. I got some new 9mm hollow point rounds for Mick to try out at the range aswell.

Thanks again Mick.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      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.
