  1. Aurion badge is only used in Australia and NZ. Everywhere else they are V6 Camry. Our cars are Aussie built, so you want to find the TMCA option. Try every option, something should connect. Maybe ES350. Does the Techstream connect to other cars?
  2. I was just thinking about this. I probably have no free weekends left this year, but always keen if I can get away.
  3. If you fail a wof, it is entered into wof online and your car no longer has a current wof, even if it hasn’t expired in the sticker. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/introduction/inspection-and-certification-process/operating-a-vehicle-without-a-current-wof-or-cof
  4. Nothing in the Virm about coloured tints. Can not be reflective and must let in 35% of the light. So go hard.
  5. There is nothing in the VIRM about traction control, only stability control. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/tb-general/esc-id I guess the issue will be if the inspector thinks the TC light is a ESC light.
  6. @UTERUS listen to @Yowzer and ignore the other muppets. light bar on its own switch, not connected to the high beams is all good, even facing forward as a work lamp.
  7. I saw that camper passing through Paekakariki today.
  8. Punch a hole in the filter before spinning it off and it will drain most of the oil out.
  9. Main difference between DOT 3 & 4 is 4 has a higher boiling point. I don’t think you will be getting the brake that hot in this thing so use whatever.
  10. https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/lighting/reversing-lamps They don’t have to work, but can’t have a hole in the lens or a stuffed reflector
  11. Here’s the rules https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/lighting/rearward-facing-position-lamps make up your own mind
  12. Just red bulbs may not output enough red. You may need to colour the lenses too.
  13. Do you mean like a round headlight? Probably could, but why would you? You will need to have a reflector as well.
  14. You can’t just cut out the rust and leave a hole. Replace the structure with metal.
  15. The 50mm rule is only for places in the shaded area of figure 3-1-2 https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/vehicle-structure/structure-incl2.-frontal-impact#figure312 Doors must have no rust within 150mm of the hinges or catches.

    Diffs

    Cone type LSD is weak. Can use tubes and axles in a 9”
  17. IMHO repair is ok as long as water can’t get in and the wrong colour light can’t come out (like white out a tail light.
  18. What was the coolant like? Any chance different coolants were mixed?
