Hi Guys,

Just spoke to someone at the Department of Transport and Regional Services. And asked some questions regarding our beloved s'tivo. He is going to get back to me about any investigation or recall. But as yet there is NO recall as he indicated he was in the recall's dept and he hadnt heard anything yet.

Spoke to toyota again before i rang them and again the official word is there is an investigation happening. They cannot tell me what is being investigated :angry: . Toyota decided to pull the sales of the vehicle at the moment. But its OK to drive the car. Thats all they can tell me.

Cheers

Bill

p.s. yes i am a very thorough person ;) ;)

They can't have "pulled the sales" - there's still an '04 sitting in Northpoint Toyota for sale.

They may have not supplied any new ones to dealers however.

Hi Guys,

I have managed to speak directly with the guy handling the investigation. A lot of the stuff you guys have indicated e.g. not enough power, selector cables, intake faulty etc etc is not what is being investigated.

These guys only investigate things which can potentially cause injury. NO it is not serious ... well i dont think it is. I actually think its pretty petty for all this fuss but anyway they said the rules are black and white and if u step into the black then they need to deal with it.

Anyway they know who i am and have my <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=contact&v=56">contact</a> details and they were very very very surprised i managed to source his name and <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=contact&v=56">contact</a> details (i told u all i was very thorough ;) ;) ) Anyway their invesitgation is not complete and negotiations or something is happening with <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=toyota&v=56">toyota</a> as such he has asked me to treat this with discretion. Oh by the way i was putting words into his mouth and he was saying yes or no otherwise he wasnt saying a <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=single&v=56">single</a> thing.

I found it pretty fun that he questioned how we found out about such an investigation. I told him if a manufactorer stops releasing there <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=car&v=56">car</a> and the <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=car&v=56">car</a> disappears of their <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=website&v=56">website</a> sorry but consumers arent that dumb they will know something is going on. He wasnt to happy that stuff had leaked from <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=toyota&v=56">toyota</a>.

Now seeing as though they are a <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=government&v=56">government</a> body and they know who i am and have asked me to give this issue some discreation then i think i will keep this 1 to myself. Sorry guys.

He suggested to all those concerned, as i told him i was a member of a forum which had like 50 s'tivo owners who are concerned about this, that we wait a few week (a month or 2) and then <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=contact&v=56">contact</a> <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=toyota&v=56">toyota</a> directly. By then he said they should be finished and <a href="http://www.ntsearch.com/search.php?q=toyota&v=56">toyota</a> should have answers.

Cheers

Bill

Lol........well currently toyota is on my bad side <_< <_< so im trying all out to get resolution ;) ;)

My only concern is what they are going to do to fix it as i have unichipped the beast so if i have 2 rip it off n then re-tune it after they are done im not going to be happy but hey wat can i do.

So to every1 i would hold off at the moment if ur thinking about modding ur ride... whats a few weeks wait going to hurt to get this sorted before u mod the car. This is my advise to u all.

Cheers

Bill

      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.
