Default High Level Technical Repairs

I've noticed this site does not have a lot of technical information just general low level data and not how to do involved electrical and mechanical repairs.

Would be nice to have a section that addresses the really technicial side of this cars.

Agreed! I find the forum is used by some to ask simple questions to which answers can be found in your owners manual. I've downloaded the pdf manual and simply use the search feature to locate answers to my questions easily.

I find that in general, technical info is something that is not shared due to the fact that knowledge is best kept secret and monetized as best as possible. You wouldn't share something for free if you can make a buck off it. I've had to search high and low to find sources like youtube channels of mechanics and other specialist that are willing to share, and obviously for the one reason that viewership is monetized for them, they earn money if people watch their videos.

Here's a few channels I follow for technical info on Toyota / Lexus

@Tinkertech sorry this is not the audience of this forum, very few, if any, of the forum members do not have electrical and mechanical backgrounds or experience. So usually getting technical advice or information is usually not possible.

YMMV,

As said above, the vehicle price to DIY is inversely proportional. For some good tech, I typically go to rav4world - the low class cousin to the NX.

Just an interesting side example - my cousin opened and charged, tested, and replaced as needed, all the cells in his prius battery, cleaned or replaced the buss bars, to get maximum efficiency from it.
