I've seen the torque spec for driveshaft to giubo listed as 44 ft-lbs for 10.9 bolt and 74 ft-lbs for 12.9 bolt. However, our torque spec document says 85 ft-lbs, period.

I'm assuming 44 is correct (I have the 10.9 bold)? Just seems low.

Hello Group,

Does anyone know the PN of this plug that connects to the throttle position sensor near the oil filter housing? If there is the PN for the worn out boot that would be a huge win but I’m good with replacing the entire plug assuming it’s like spliced into the main engine harness 😄 Thanks in advance.

It is plug and play, but you need to code the high beams to work correctly. Only the flash to pass works since it was originally a bi-xenon and doesn't use the inner light for the highs.

Just "upgrade" to the dual halogens and toss those igniters. You'll lose a few pounds off the nose of the car. I prefer the symmetrical look of the dual reflectors.

Interesting idea I never considered that, thank you. So you propose just replace xenon units with halogen? Is that plug and play? I was hoping to get some lighting improvement with the LW mod, however.

I bought a Dinan intake kit and studying install, my laziness is really kicking in. Supposed to relocate the Xenon ignitor per Dinan instructions and I'm thinking, really? Can anyone chime in on the need for this? My OCD then kicks in with modifying the bracket and I'm like, well, gotta buy a new one of those to keep everything original...man I'm lazy these days. BUT--pulling the driver headlight to do this motivates me to pull the passenger side, and send out to Lightwerkz for the projector rebuild I've been delaying. So not all bad!

Some new error codes yesterday. I hardly use the AC (drive with the windows down), but yesterday was especially hot and when I took one of the cars to pick up the kids from school in 95* temperatures, I tried to turn the AC on. Snowflake would illuminate and turn off immediately, and the air speed would be limited to 50%. Ambient air temperature reached 110*.

Plugged in the laptop and got these two codes:

24 Additional heater relay
Error frequency: 10
short circuit to batt+
Errorcode: 18010A2445C088510386

255 Energy saving mode active
Error frequency: 1
short circuit to ground
error present
Errorcode: FF42012489CF88510375

Anyone with a similar experience?

Anyone experience this before?

Anybody know how to safely remove the Christmas tree pins from the bottom of the seat panels without damaging them? Or do you just need to buy new ones when installing the new back panels? I pulled out one the other day and completely destroyed it trying to get it out.

I have a dumb question regarding Schrick Cams.

I have the 272 Exhaust cam already.

Can the following part be used as the INTAKE?

An M8 bolt is typically a 13mm socket heat bolt, so 18 ft-lbs.

It's a 13mm. I'll keep it at 18 ft-lb thanks! But just in case you guys are working on Toyotas they don't always follow the ISO convention as they spec some fasteners to have hex drives different from ISO in order to keep it less complicated in the factory from a tooling standpoint.

What is the torque spec on the oil filter housing bolt? In my old Bentley, I have hand written 24ft-lb then scratched it out and wrote 18ft-lb; I don't remember why. The TIS states full flow lid style is 24 ft-lbs, which I guess is what this is ??

It is different depending on where you look, 18ftlbs vs 24ftlbs.

Since TIS has 22NM (~18ftlbs) for M8 bolt and 33NM (24ftlbs) for M10 and M12, we should know which it is if you can get the diameter of the bolt.

Took some measurements from my removed factory trunk lid.

Thank you kind sir! The pictures and dimensions are very helpful, I will add that one to my next order and give it a shot.
