  1. I'd rather go more modern with a higher mileage. And by heavy traffic I meant Auckland's rush hour : D

  2. So since we’re going to be released back into the wild again I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of local businesses, cafes, places to stay etc to support during these times In the lower north island (E.g - wgtn, New Plymouth, Taupo, Hawkes bay) and if anyone would be interested in going for a cruise at some point? to a cafe or maybe just a park somewhere and I’ll bring my camping cooking gear? even though this is in the wgtn section it’s open to all who are still active local day trips interregional day trips or over night trips? suggestions and thoughts appreciated Obviously all precautions will be taken might ***** out the RA-R if people turn up

  3. I wasn't aware of any ’larger’ axle options for these short of something from the US. Larger would usually mean moving to a r180 setup which you'd need custom axles or a custom front hub. Bush replacement will depend on whether you go for OEM or aftermarket stuff. With a semi decent press you can do the majority of them at home on the cheap with factory ones from partsouq.com Yea might as well try him at 6.5 and see what he pushes back with.

  5. Yep it's a deep, deep rabbit hole to go down and possibly not of much value if you're not tuning it yourself, but it helps to understand what the cars doing and why. I spent hours reading and road tuning timing/fuel tables for my ez30...right PITA to spend so much time de-tuning the car just to get it to stop knocking and drive as the factory intended. Driving the car harder might help it learn knock correction and fuel trims quicker but I'd wager the end result will always be <.500 IAM. Save yourself the fuel and speeding ticket and just drive normally it may learn slower but will get you the same result

  6. From what I've seen 9.5 for a prefacelift 3.0 is not a bargain at all. You're also looking at 5AT vs. CVT. If you're mostly doing inner city/heavy traffic commute then 3.0 will certainly suck more, open road they're all good. Definitely better for towing purposes. I'd certainly aim for a facelift 2006+ 3.0 rather than a prefacelift. 5th gen have about the same boot but definitely more head and leg room for the rear passengers if matters for you.

  7. I had the same issues trying to view LTV in Romraider from my 3.0r. Just keep using btssm like you've done in the past or use this utility. The ECU is constantly learning, but can only learn a/f trim and knock control values for a load/rpm cell when it's driven there and when certain conditions are met to put the car into learning mode - i.e. I guess you could say the ECU has "fully learned" once it's been driven through all RPM and load points. Really good info on knock control here. If you've driven through the rev range and your IAM is at .500 - welcome to 3.0r ownership. They knock on anything that isn't Japanese 100ron that they were built for and even then, looking at their ignition tables, I reckon they'd still ping and lower the IAM. It's good you diagnosed a faulty part and replaced it, but, you could have the world's best serviced and maintained ez30 and it would still knock on 98ron and end up with a low IAM. The only way to fix this is to tune the ignition and fueling, or, ignore it. Low IAM won't hurt the engine, it's there to protect it. It will hurt performance and fuel economy though, as you've experienced.
