Just did the Toyota Japan factory tour and museum.

Saw Lexus's and Toyota's being assembled on same production line with same people / tools.

I want a Toyota now....

Cos it's made in the same place? couldn't care less. Toyota aren't the only ones to share parts across makes & models. Not to mention why wouldn't it be same people & tools lol Edited by alr33x

Fyp

of the current models, none in AU that I am aware of apart from the "not a landcruiser"...

historically a lot of the "lexus" cars we get are just JDM toyota models with a lexus badge and a bullshit price tacked on...

soarer and celcior would be easy examples but there are many more.

Nissan do it too with the infinity range

Because AD08Rs won't get you cred at the hardpark meets

why. there is noting you can do with 1000 hp

except break cars.

i was hoping there would be like a GTR graveyard area at Sydney dragway on the weekend.

if you want mega hp, just get an XR6 turbo or something.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
