When i came back from US i ordered Pair of kbcarstuff HIDs for My Premio. pair came with Philips Bulbs & Slim Ballasts consists with quality German chips. kit came with Relays so no long term damage on the OEM Wires. these philips bulbs were 35W ones rather than cheapo 55W (Mostly found on ebay Kits) ones which damage the OEM wiring. Kelvin Temp was 4300k. installtion is prety much straight forward, removing the OLD bulbs and plug the new wiring. i must say, when it compared with ebay KITS Light output seems way better than those claimed 8000K ones. will post some pics when time permits.
Here's the Link for their site (Hope i'm not breaking any forum Rules)

All of the JDM Vehicles (If not Most of them) are not OBD Compliant (OBD is a US Standard) I believe Japanese Domestic vehicles are JOBD Or CAN Bus Compliant. you can scan the Vehicle at the Agents but it comes with quite a Cost.

I know Apple maps sucks big time! specially when your in a different country and rely on Navigation software like maps. lack of transit data is a big dissapointment. luckily maps.google.com works fine through safari or chrome on iPhones. but it's not as smooth as standalone app.
Another option would be drop another Engine. but you have to source a good engine for that. we've done the same for our old CR 27 van and results were great. with the engine you get the other bits like Gear box, Power steering pump, A/C Compressor etc. you could sell the old engine as well.
Chulanga,
why don't you connect a scanner and clear all the codes first and try. issue must be due to this i believe. for the cold start ECU checks for errors and second time i think it bypasses. or Try to reset (Battery disconnect) and see?

NZT260 got 1NZ-FE 1500CC engine VVT-i
ZRT260 got 2ZR-FE which is 1800CC Dual VVT-i Engine. both engines are recommended to use "Regular Gasoline" or 90 Octane.
Watch the Morning News bulletin in Derana news. they mentioned that they have evidence (Videos) that Shed owners returning substandard fuel to Ceypetco (Newly receiving stock). still that gullible Minister saying there's nothing wrong with fuel they have distributed
Talk to my friend at the agents. he said at least use a Fuel system cleaner additive so you will be in the safe side. Fuel is contaminated with some glue kinda substance and make fuel pumps hard to operate and will clog Injectors and Fuel pumps.
Zul, For power window problem. just pull up the switch for couple of seconds while ignition is on on Drivers side Shutter switch. that will reset the Power window buttons and functions to normal (default). for Alternator problem, i think you should consult the Agents or reputed Auto electrician. could be Alternator fuse gone bad as well. this has happened to Our ZRT260 as well.
