Changed brakes again. :evil:

Originals only lasted 8 months :evil:

Gone Wagner :shock:

My mechanic told me that the pins in the calipers were bad :cry:

, and one of the pads was worn much more than the others :oops:

. He said that it got stuck against the rotor :shock:

.

A big source of my poor fuel economy :!:

Sentraman[/b], Check your brakes, they could be drinking your gas :idea:

I killed my airbox and got me a reaal CAI. K&N cone filter is now in my bumper :twisted:

With my shop made grounding kit and CAI, I managed 452km down to 1/4 tank remaining. I now drive at speeds less than 110 kph. :cry:

Grannies now pass me, but I am happy

are you willing to give me a hand to do the same :?:

drdroutermaster · Postby **drdroutermaster** » March 23rd, 2007, 3:27 am

Thats not a problem. It took me about 2 hours working by my self. Guys with 1NZ engines would need a silicone reducer to get the 2.75" pipe to mate unto the throttle body. I imported my kit and need to make a simple bracket to attach the CAI the body of the car.

The grounding kit was made in a machine shop with a 1" x 4" x 1/4" piece of aluminum with 5 holes (4 M6 threaded). A wire from the battery pole to the Aluminum block, the block was bolted to shock housing using the body ground wire and factory tapped hole. Another wire ran from my Aluminum block to the cylinder head. I have some other wires to run but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

However, since the engine is Aluminum, it should have sufficient grounding through the head and tranny.

I will post pictures when I get back my camera.

^^^yuh thought the stock grounding system was bad on the 1zz? just asking for the reason for the upgrade. I should be checking my voltages soon when i put in some music equip/

drdroutermaster · Postby **drdroutermaster** » March 24th, 2007, 10:30 pm

I found the stok grounding to be better than that on the Almera, However, after grounding the head I got more power.

seanf3000 I trying to find the procedure for changing the fuel filter... Advice :?:

seanf3000 · Postby **seanf3000** » April 17th, 2007, 10:14 am

hoss.....yuh doh have the workshop manual that we distrbute? Procedure is the same for the usdm and jdm corollas.

See if this link still working for the manual... http://www.users.on.net/~bmrogers/2004.zip

Doh forget to get the spacer and seal in addition to the filter from TTTL.

bleedingfreak · Postby **bleedingfreak** » April 24th, 2007, 9:26 am

Burning wid shame here... I forgot the workshop manual boy...

It in a drawer here in work - didn't get to finish printing it.

seanf3000 · Postby **seanf3000** » April 24th, 2007, 9:44 am

Ahhh...no probs.

Lil bit of advice..........use something cushy below the workspace where you're changing the filter. Its damned slippery since it was immersed in the petrol and yuh do wanna break anything in the fuel pump assembly unit.

No sun roof or power seats though
my mirrors are powered but not power retractable
but my fuel consumption is so much better than most here because of the 5 fwd gear box and 1.5 engine the car came with
what also contributes to the efficiency with our car is regular servicing e.g
oil and filter changes, sparks plugs being checked and re-gapped, air filter changes/cleaning, proper tire pressure, proper alignment and camber, rotating of tyres and generally checking basic fluids regularly
BTW, ours is RORO....doing about 32,000kms..I think

AnM: For all of those Preventative Maintenance (PM) items you listed, can you give a schedule or at what milage/Km should they be checked and done?

RollaCoaster · Postby **RollaCoaster** » May 5th, 2007, 7:20 pm

Could the powered seats be installed on the local corollas?

aR&D · Postby **aR&D** » May 6th, 2007, 4:20 pm

Toyota Fielder 2ners ..... can i get a full side picture of your Fielder - preferably the Fielder should be silver, no body kit

it will vary from vehicle to vehicle, depending on driving styles, road conditions, traffic conditions...etc etc :wink:

Safely though every 5000Km for oil and filter change and you can check spark plugs and air filter at those changes as well.....
every 3 months for alignment and tyre related stuff :idea:

^^^ much thanks

on another note i contacted K&N support to get a confirmation number (33-2211) on a Drop-In air filter for the NZe121 and their response was that they do not have an application for this model

seanf3000 · Postby **seanf3000** » May 24th, 2007, 4:30 pm

Xoutlaw just confirm that the 33-2211 is the correct part number for the K&N drop in for the 1nz-fe. Its the same one if you check for the application part number for the Scion xA and Xb which carry the 1nz-fe.
