haha! break down! a toyota motor break down!!! haha that would be a laugh.

They do so.. We've had an 80series landcruiser 4.5ltr break down some years ago. The car had 60,000km's on the clock, towing a boat, a little heater hose bust under the inlet manifold within a few secs the car had overheated and left stranded.

It stuffed the head as it overheated. 4.5k later. :S

But yes. so what is Toyota's answer to Nissan's GTR? They have never had an answer. :thumbsup:

Toyota is considered to be the most reliable car manufacturer in the world. They sell quality cars at affordable prices. For every Toyota that breaks down, 5 Nissans do.

Interesting... is there any real data to support that?

I always thought it was 5,00000000 to one in toyotas favour.

No offense to you...nor anyone else who uses this figure 206kw.

The figure was made up by manufacturers in Japan in the late 80's

and followed through to the late nineties.

They thought that a KW war would not help the development of the cars...(one thing Holden and Ford here

should have learned from)....and so it was a gentlemen agreement to agree that if any car exceeded 206kw

it would be rated at that.

Everyone knows a GTR KW out of the factory was more like 240KW's odd....

What pisses me off though is some EPA tests conducted use this figure...ie noise DB/REV

Back to the Topic.................................everyone by a gtr this way they grow in popularity

and like the supply and demand curve..(which I have always found it hard to understand)....

the prices will increase............and we will be rich......rich I say...hahahahahahahahah

yeah thats fine but im not arguing that point im sayin that u put a stock r34 gtt on the dyno and youll get what 160rwkw or there abouts where as the trd aurion will do more!

so u can go on about the gentlemens agreement but fact is u have to a base or start point of the arguement still look at the figures they dont lie 206kw at the engine is still 160rwkw.. that being said the aurion will still whoop its ass!

no matter which way u look at it it still doesnt change

cheers..

I was clearly comparing what claimed flywheel figures and dd dyno results show. Very little to do with your petty argument.

Stop being an arse, no need for your comment.

Your warn history shows you are argumentative lately. Whats up?

lol warn history i luv it this crap admins put on the website...

anyways i like to argue with facts plain and simple as that .now i was comparing the r34gtt to the trd aurion seems pretty fair too me..nissan vs toyota

u look at the spec and tell me what u think ...how about that ...?

ohh 1 more thing --- sick of people taking shit too ...hahaha but its a forum so ill put up with it and in exchange people put up with my crap!--- arguing

and i think beer baron has nothing else better to do except have double standards but some of the other admins have them as well..

cheers does that make my warn history go up...?....lol

must be one of the unlucky extremely few.

Never heard of that. probably was becuase it was petrol. buying a petrol 4wd is like buying a mazda roadpacer. slow and horrendous on fuel.

if the heater hose broke, the temp guage would read hot (for a short period of time), so there was a level of warning. what warning is there that 2 out of three commodore v6 coilpacks fail at 38000km conveniantly out of holden's stupidly low 35,000km warranty? hahaha!

or when a v6 commodore is going to throw a rod?

there is a thread on toymods called 'ls1, the new 2j?" there is a lad there who works for a holden dealership who has rebuilt 75 ls1s. in a dealership, you don't see too many v8s, and for that many to need to have full rebuilds, it just goes to show the quality of the motors.

check out Rocco's performance's 2jz rx7 for toyota reliablity; 8 sec unopened 2jz na motor that has been turboed. yet to see any other na motor that can do that with bolt ons.

Its was definitely a freak break down. A heater hose letting go at 60 thou... Must of definitely been a flaw from manufacture.

The problem was it was a long trip so your cruising for hours on end; it only takes a minute or so of overheating at the alloy goes soft.

Manufactures really should incorporate a buzzer. :)

Is "extremely few" one of those opposite slang phrases (like how "bad" was good back in the 80's) for "common enough to kick off a class action lawsuit" that I have yet to hear about?

For your information, a "class action lawsuit" is one where multiple plaintiffs combine their individual complaints into one single suit. That gives these several people the ability to combine resources, to bring stronger legal representation to their cause. Or, in the above case, owners of 3.5 million cars....which of course means that there might be people out there who didn't join in the suit. And that was for North America only.

It was a vs thread to start with so it was inevitable anyway.

It needs shutting down.

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW, as well as a basic immobiliser/remote unlock (all basic units give you those 2 things), I would also install a 4g tracker in any car I cared about. Just hide it anywhere that won't be found in a rushed look and preferably get something with a built in battery backup so it stays online for a while when the battery is removed or flat While its not a car, when our car trailer was stolen in that den of crime Sydney about a decade ago, the cops were watching from the bloke's neighbour's lawn within about 2 hours until he started swapping the plates and putting up the gumtree ad.   Obviously it is still not undefeatable (eg parking it up for a few days somewhere without sky sight) but it greatly improves your chances of getting it back quickly and with less damage

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Instead of magic keyphrases I wonder if something can be done with auto complete. Similar to how user names are handled already. When you type '@' and follow with letters, it'll search across all usernames. It might work to have the same for forum topics. Some key to trigger it and then text search across all thread names and it'll insert the name and URL when pressing enter.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmmm.... It's actually a bit weird. Here's the key bit of the diagram. I've circled what I'm pretty sure is the high beam indicator on the cluster. It appears to be just in parallel with one of the high beam lamp globes. Meaning, that however the high beams get lit, the indicator should also be lit. So there shouldn't be any difference between being on normal headlight main beam, or just flashing. I've followed the physical diagram (which is not so easily summarised in a single snip, so I didn't put it up here) and it agrees with what you can see here. If you struggle to follow this crap....let me explain some of it. I always struggle when I first look at this - even though I have looked specifically at this more than once in the past. We'll start with the flash. The flash is triggered by pulling the dip switch back, right? That is indicated on the diagram by the P position on the switch block labelled "Light SW", on the RHS of the snip. The bottom-right most terminal is connected to ground. That's that wire line going down to the bottom. The next terminal up is connected to the bottom terminal when the switch is pulled back. That provides ground to wire LA33, which is connected to the coil of the relay in the middle of the snip, "Headlamp relay (2M)". That relay always has power on the other side of the coil, from fuse #19 above it. When that relay is triggered, the two main headlamp fuses #32 & #33 above feed through the relay down onto wires LA31 and LA32, which are connected into the wires that go to the main beams, LA04 and LA06. The cluster indicator is connected to LA32 also. When the main beams are on normally, the light switch ("Light SW" again) is in the M position. Power comes in for the left and right sides on LA34 and LA36, via the other light switch (the one on the binnacle, called "Light SW (Instrument)" on the diagram). Obviously that switch needs to be in the 2nd position, because that's headlights. 1st position is parkers. The same main headlamp fuses #32 & #33 feed through that switch, out via LA34&36 to the stalk switch, and of out of the stalk switch via LA04 and LA06 to the headlamps. From there, it is no different to the flasher version. I really don't know why they bothered with the flash relay. They probably didn't want to add another contact in the stalk switch - but I'm damn sure that's what I would have done. Just reverse the order of power feed, so that it goes from the fuses to the stalk switch first, and add another contact for flashing. Everything would have worked just the same, but less complicated. /bitchrant

      Rv37 400r questions

      By Duncan · Posted

      I think the solution Pac posted in the other thread is the way to go with the top screen; I have an ADM Q50 and I only use it for 2 things: 1. Reverse or front camera as triggered automatically by Reverse selection or the front sonars, and you can also call up the front left (or front) camera when parking by hitting the camera button on the centre console if necessary 2. Navigation. I can assure you that getting hold of a 10 year old nav system is utterly useless. The ADM system still has Inifiniti dealers marked (always give me a good laugh), is missing all new freeways, uses fixed speed by road type to determine arrival time, no traffic/re-routing, no speed cameras, no user reported cameras etc etc you get the idea So, Pac posted in the other thread about a box that plugs into the USB C and gives you full Android OS to run whatever modern/connected nav you want on the top screen, and it still automatically switches back to function 1 above when required because it runs within the head unit. The other modern alternative is the latest version of the Tesla screen like this:  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007511322502.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.25.33cefEZifEZibq&algo_pvid=cdae429c-aa8d-437f-a436-c727fee85461&algo_exp_id=cdae429c-aa8d-437f-a436-c727fee85461-12&pdp_npi=4%40dis!AUD!2181.36!1265.19!!!9834.81!5704.20!%402101c71a17362022663526105e36d7!12000041077843545!sea!AU!163137612!X&curPageLogUid=F9811g8oqx5H&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch|query_from%3A But I haven't looked into whether it is compatible with Australian 4G bands yet so it may require a separate 4g dongle to provide data

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Duncan · Posted

      In the 32 race car, I basically run what Gary told me and it is lovely across a range of conditions which is what I needed. I've got revalved bilsteins, adjustable solid sway bars, adjustable bushes all round. Just looking at Neil's R33 GTST and it has pretty much the same on board, Gary Bilsteins, Selby/whiteline sway bars.  Gary knows suspension generally and these cars specifically very well across street, street/track and track only use and gives a very well balanced set up. Just be aware his preference is for light springs and heavy sway bars, there is another school of though (eg MCA) that prefer lighter swaybars and heavier springs/shocks. The evo I raced had that setup and it was also very nice so there are multiple ways to skin cats.
