G'day all,

I have a 2007 Kluger KX-R and a 2013 GXL Landcruiser 200 awaiting pick up sometime before March 30! The only other Toyota I have owned was a RN 110 Hilux with was my pride and joy. My parents have had 2 Camrys since new (1x 1993 Vienta and 1x 2003 Camry Sportivo) and have never had an issue with both. As I have had no issues with any of my Toyotas and love them all to bits, here I am to hopefully get some good info on my prides and joys and to contribute where I can.

Cheers!

Hey Croco, thanks for the welcome.

Yep the 200 is an awesome bit of kit and a kinda dream come true. I've always wanted a Landcruiser and now I have the chance I chose the V8 diesel. I am planning on getting a chip and exhaust from Roo systems for a sweet exhaust note to go along with a TJM steel bar, snorkel and a decent tow pack all installed by the dealer as they have a TJM store across the road.

The petrol would be a treat but I like the torque from the twin turbo diesel. I'll be sure to post some photos when I get the beast. Problem is I am taking the family to Europe in mid march whch may mean if I can't recieve it in time, my old man will end up picking it in my absence......which I think he's hoping on!

Nice mate.now iam really jealousLOL :D

The roo system sounds awesome, I remember watching some 4wdaction dvds, with glen haddens 200 series with roo system installed, this thing would the most toughest bloke blush,I remembering him towing a large camper trailer up a slippery steep slope and it did it with ease, the torque of the v8 and the amazing traction control, these things are unstoppable the v6 I had in the prado and in the kluger are great but nothing as good as the monster in the cruiser, theres no substitute for a V8. the 200 series are a amazing car, I always wanted a landcruiser but hopefully oneday I have one fingers crossed.

Hopfully everything goes well for you and you enjoy the landcruider mate.

I would love to see some photos when she all kitted out.

      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.
