Hi All,

Got my letter yesterday 24/8/2004, rang Toyota Service center in Artarmon NSW, and they didn't know about the recall. LOL. Sent them a fax with the letter and they now know about it and I have it booked in next thursday to get the mods done.

Got my letter. The car is booked in for tomorrow to do upgrade + cables + other warranty work

I have yet to receive my letter. What warranty work are you getting done Xoom? I would like to ask them to check the brakes, steering, shock absorbers and clutch.

Would you guys be able to tell me if this letter is actually written by Toyota Motor Corporation Australia or by the Toyota Dealership you purchased your car?

hmmm completly forgot about the shocks issue ...... might mention it tomorrow.

With regards to the letter, I was pleasantly suprised to read these words:

"...incorrect engine cleaner cap & ECC were fitted...as a result the maximum engine power output may be marginally less than the allowable production tolerance"

Its in writing now ;)

Stauff, I got my letter a couple of days ago. taking it in tomorrow for the work to be done.

I would call them up just to make sure. big companies have a habbit of losing information <_< stuff gets passed around to too many people and no one is responsible for it.

Hi Ray,

When I spoke to the guys at Artarmon I didn't ask them about the gear selector cable as they didn't have a clue about the recall, I was going to leave that question until I took the car in and got to speak to an actual person that knew about it. Plus that issue wasn't on the recall letter so they may not even do anything about it.

Let me know how you go with the question.

Got my letter Wednesday. 10K service and recall parts being fitted next Friday.

I'll be removing my CAI tomorrow, and then putting it back on after the service.

Spoke to my dealer I do not have to remove the CAI they will leave it in place and just supply me with the replacement parts. Now if they could only fix the gearbox.... <_<

Seriously guys, just book your car in, don't need to have the letter. I booked my car into MCT before I even received the letter. If they don't know anything about it, just ask them to give Toyota Australia a call.

I was told to bring the letter since it has another piece of paper attached to it and i think the dealers fill it out. If you have the letter, you should take it with the attached document.

I called my service manager and talked to him before my letter arrived and booked myself in for Tuesday of this week. Dont forget the 200-500K runin' procedure boys :unsure:

Well the Stivo is done quite impressive feels very much like the Car is running the Unichip without having it actually installed. I am quite happy. I will be doing a dyno and refit of the Unichip sometime this week. I will post the results...maybe...lol. Then off back to Toyota to get the flywheel and clutch done.

Whats this 200-500km running procedure ??? :o

Drive it hard in acceleration changing gears lots of times (without breaking the law of course :blink: ) the ecu will adapt to your driving. By the way the Unichip re plug is now on hold till the flywheel and clutch is done.

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question..

Can I ask why u must drive it hard with the new ECU install?? Does it enhance the power of the car?

I haven't had mine done yet as I'm waitin for the letter.

The ECU as stated in my previous post learns how you drive. If you drive slow the ECU will remember this and it will perfom that way. The ECU on these cars learn for the first 500KM on driving style and adjusts itself to match you. The car will perform better if you give it a bit of stick initaly.

Hey guys

I apologise in advance if this question has been covered before, but could somebody recommend a place to get my engine dyno'ed in Melbourne, preferrably inner-city.

My car is going in the for ECC fix up tomorrow & I want to test it following that. My spivo is stock so it should be a good test case for how the recall fix will affect the overall engine performance.

Thanx in advance :)

hey guys had the ECU done this morngin yeah must agree with peekay cept for the uni chip as i have not had one but the car is just so much more drivable. no torque hole and smooth into lift like a vtec engine,

with my mods now i am keeping up with the S2000 it is a good feeling.

the gear cables still haven't come into penrith toyota so i still have to wait.

also I/they didn't remove the CAI they just put the new cap in the boot no questions asked.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
