Hey DRE

Hope you don't mind me giving you a free plug. Just came across a pic of your car on the net.

Riding on 22s. Looks mean. What size rubber you running? And using coilovers for this?

Very phat!!!

Check out : 22s on Aurion

ahahaha damnit..i thought i was gonna give u guys a surprise post..wouldnt be a surprise anymore now <_< i though i'd give myself a challenge by putting 22's on an aurion..most of the tyre guys i called in the eastern state and wa thought i was outta my mind when i said i want 22's for this car LOL

anyways, the rims 8.5" wide all around with 245/30 rubbers on them and D2 coilover suspension.

when i got the fender guard rolled with the new wheels, the rear was rubbing bad when i went uphill and corners and it was so annoying :wacko:

so just today i came back to the shop and asked the guy to camber the suspension. its -3degrees camber now and turns out alrite..no rubbing at all and i think i can fit 2 or even 3 ppl at the back again :yahoo:

Im thinking of getting a set of WALD lips when i go to jakarta next month like some of those thai aurions so the car would looks lower to the ground..

cant wait..

Do you seriously need to set your suspension to stiff to be able to drive it? It just seems like you are right on borderline there and don't have much clearance for suspension travel.

As well, do you find your speedo is out by quite a bit now?

Do you get any scrubbing when turning under full lock?

And do those tires cost a lot?

Sorry for the questions, but I know others here have considered it, so the extra assistance for them would be good.

Props to giving it a go though.

no worries mate, im happy to assist anyone here. I havent really play with the suspension so far, but its been set stiff since the day i fitted it and the ride been alright..better than chopped kings for sure ehehe i'll keep it posted next time i decide to set it soft.

in terms of speedo yea i think its out by about 4-5km/hr but that doesnt really bother me coz i dont really speed anyway..only that with this size rims the car slows down quicker as soon as u release the acceleration than before and as i said before, it doesnt rub/ scrub at all even when turning full...at the moment the front tyres still have about 1cm clearence from the guard, i reckon i still be able to lower it a bit more if i go camber and still wouldnt scrub. the rear was rubbing pretty bad before but after it was set cambered its fine and again i think i can lowered the rear a bit more with no fuss now.

the nexen tyres that comes with the wheels is inexpensive at all. the last time i look it up in the web,they cost around $1500-1600 for all 4. cheap compared to toyo/kumho/pirelli etc but theyre still good for street use.

Hey Dre...car looks sweet mate. :toast:

p.s add your wheels to your current insurance,it costs bugger all...i added my new audio and wheels and it worked out an extra $28 per year...also they won't cover your tyres,i asked as mine are $600 a corner. :(

and do you have the right load & speed rating,because insurance can get a bit funny with this if it's not correct,especially with big rims,they checked on mine.

Sorry to steal your thunder DRE. :whistling:

I got a bit excited that I'd recognised your car and thought everyone should see how unique your setup is.

Good work dude...

22"s

Yeeeeeowwl Dre,

now thats what im talking about. Finally, I knew it would happen but I didnt think it would take someone this long to do it. Did ya have to roll ya guards. Definately Niace, it works, looks good, congrats dude. Now you just need a lip or body kit to fatten up that front end, or you could bag it or drop it. If you need fill the gap from the ground to the car, those wheels look even more sic I reckon.

Good job dude, I like it.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      Hey, can anyone help? We have a 2013 Kluger grande, Bluetooth iPhone and calls work well through factory radio. To play music we have an aux cord plugged in. Anyone know how to just Bluetooth music from phone through factory stereo? It’s weird we can Bluetooth calls but not music. Thanks for your time and help.
