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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
