  1. Hi all, i'm using Edge 5-30W, it runs better than others. Coz it is lighter in viscocity, so i believe it can be pumped up quicker to as start my engine. And, it also benefits with higher liquidity flow. Cheers
  2. I bought my 99' 2.2L is because it is oz made, the door is much heavier than overseas model. I found i still can find some genuine parts from overseas with very low price. But anyway, it is rarely a chance to do overhaul service. Good on Camry!!!
  3. im sure if you take your car to a place to have an aftermarket alarm system professionally fitted, they would be able to override the oem system, but only so that it overrides the immobiliser/alarm. they would probably still work for the door locking actuators in the central locking Hi mate, where can you find afermarket remote? Coz i just bought new remote from Southside Toyota, it was working well in 1st month, afterward, it is mulfunction. I am thinking it is out of battery as they may store it for ages. Also, my remote is for 99' 2.2 model, and i can not find a seam to open & replace battery, does anyone know how to work it out?

    Odo readings

    My 99' 2.2 Camry is 204k now, still running well & smooth. Very reliable, coz i spoil him with 5000KM motor oil/10000KM auto oil replacement..hehe..

    Exhaust tip

    ^that's right! that's a 3" tip! I used to have it and no sound different after putting it on Hey hey~ The purpose of the toyota tip is design for decor and chic. Not for noise, mate~
  7. Hi, I just cleaned PCV Valve for My lover: Gen4 4cyc, the valve is connecting btw throttle and engine top, did u say the gen4 4cyc have no PCV valve? What about the vavle i just cleaned, what is that?
  8. Tks 'aussie_camry' ! Very good knowledge sharing~ I think i may go for thinner start (now go with 15W-40)...recently looking for Edge 5W-30, perhaps i can get my 99'Camry service in coming week. I will share my afer-use feedback if it has some differences . By the way, the article also talked about the DIY magnet stick on oil filter, good try~ Anyone did it too?? Last Sat. Supercheap had a hot sale for 20% off, i quickly grap Edge 5-30W as it was only one left on the shelf...huh... then rushed to my "private mechanic" (a mate of mine) to get oil change, oil and fuel filters change. The result is good, more smooth accelerator in mid-high rev, i believe the oil vicosity is lower than my ex-oil-15W-40, the less flow resistance happening in the engine. Certainly, the fuel could save a bit~ By the way, Camry Gen 4's or All Toyota's Fuel filter is not ezy to replace...i can see my mate wiping sweat so hard!!

    camry manuals

    oh...i excuse me, bother u again, Vivoman~ I found the "diagnosis" file is error and 3~400k only. Possible to contribute complete "Diagnosis" again? Tks a lot~
  10. I believe no matter what kinds of top range spark plugs need to come with high performance lead to boost up its max. I heard 'top gun' this brand, you could find in autobarn or normal mechanic shop, but not sure the price for V6 Gen4?? I think it's real Oz made.... @ present, i am using NGK lead-power cables have thicker outlook-9mm with blue color; the acceleration is much more joyful and quick response when u kick down.

    camry manuals

    Done. Sorry I was too lazy to label them, but these are the lot that I downloaded from the website the other time: http://www.badongo.com/file/3896540 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896556 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896560 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896569 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896573 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896578 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896587 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896592 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896601 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896605 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896606 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896608 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896613 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896615 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896617 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896620 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896626 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896629 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896632 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896634 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896635 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896639 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896640 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896642 http://www.badongo.com/file/3896645 I just tested a sampling of the files and they download properly. Thank you so much, Vivioman~ The huge upload size must keep you awake till late mid nite.... Recently, i found ignition system could be too old to operate nomrally, i am guessing it is somewhere in ignition coil, anyway i'll check regarding to the bible with ur fully contribution. ^^

    camry manuals

    Hi Vivoman~ it looks you have exactly same model as mine, Gen 4, do you mind to share it by uploading upon below website. Car manual http://www.badongo.com/ It's very appreciated if you could help~
  13. Oh...I think it is scratching noise from some parts of rubber underneath, it could be temp. solved by lubricating. By the way, isnt Boge a German Brand certifed shock supplier by BMW? Pls correct me if it is wrong.

    camry manuals

    It seems a free website, but while i am d/l the gen 4 manuals, it stucks in 1st page, no further response from the server...sigh....is everyone having the same problem, too?

  16. Hi DJ! Go for silver~ Iridium is even worse performance than cheap Copper~ Did u receive my PM? 17" Mag.. Wow...it will makes ur Camry really muscle~
  17. Yes, one of my mate used to work for toyota workshop, he mentioned Oz camry's spring is very taugh and durable, so i only replace 4 shocks(struts). The result of it is fantastic~ No more seasick ~ hehe.. I am not sure what series of KYB you got it from the dealer and what year you are. My Kyb is black (not blue) for 4 shocks only $450, genuius part (Made in Jp).
  18. No worry about the label from Toyota, coz the reason why they stick with that plantinum is to maintain the durability (100,000KM interval) and their reputation as well, but sacrify the performance. Perhaps you could refer below conductivity table, it could help u to come out best one. Properties of Materials Material ElectricalConductivity(MS/m ) Silver 66 Copper 57 Gold 45 Iridium 18 Platinum 10 Nickel 10
  19. This may be a bit off topic but where can I get a K&N air filter for an 05 2.4L in Perth? You can check ebay.au, what year of urs? i found a guy selling it for 91~99 Camry.
  20. I just installed front and rear KYB onto my 99' Camry last week, it works much better than before, steering is lighter but smarter. KYB is a really good quality Jp brand, that's why i selected it. Overall I just replaced with shock absorbers w/o change coil/spring. In ur case, if you only replace front shock, you would not need to change ur coil even lower it. Lower only front will cause you lost of balance for ur steering and driving stability.
  21. One hint to you & save ur money. You can adjust ur spark plug gap to 1.3mm with normal copper spark plug, and it definitely gives you more pwr coz i found the electrical conductivity of copper is much higher than platinum, and bigger gap will have big spark plug as well.
  22. Hey i reckon platinum spark plugs is worse invention for a performance seeker. I am a great spark plug taster, has experienced platium/copper/iridium.....i found platinum is worst at performance...but at least very durable..100,000KM.
  23. My Camry is 99' Model 2.2L, i pumped up the tyre to 36psi, better acceleration and save fuel too. But I did install high performance NGK spark plug lead. It is better torque than before...
