Morning all :) Today is going to be a great day heheh Looking forward to catching up with peeps and meeting a few new ones too :clap:

Got the fingers crossed the weather holds up for us to take some snaps, although my car may not be the cleanest after the trip down :( Unless I can find a car wash close to Albert Park :lol:

Hahaha yeah I'm thinking whether I should give my car a quick spray. She's just been sitting there; time to stretch her legs! :lol:

For all the new members still thinking if they should go or not, come and meet us regardless of if you have mods or not! It's not just about the cars; good to talk and meet people that share a common interest! :)

I'll be leaving from the South Eastern suburbs around 1pm; PM me for my number. :)

Hi all,

As discussed with Tash, I am proposing to do the next monthly meet at a bowling/laser skirmish centre. Looking at the Classic Package - Option 1, which includes 2 games of either bowling (includes shoe hire) or laser, burger and drink for only $25ea. :)

To keep the tradition, it will be the last Sunday of the month, Sunday 28th August early arvo.

Location is still to be confirmed, thinking either Highpoint or Watergardens.

Meets always don't have to be always about cars & cruises; this one can be a bit different and chilled back. :) If you're interested, copy and add your name to the attending list. I need to know numbers as I believe we'd probably have to book.

Okay, this time I've checked my schedule and while I'm hideously busy that weekend, I'm making a special exception this time, because I always miss these things now with life and work and stuff. :( Want to catch up with you all again.

Watergardens is my preference due to proximity and the fact it's like less than a year old. But Highpoint is ok too, ah the good ol days of Highpoint and spending entire days playing Initial D at the arcade there. :P

Bowling is my preference also due to the fact Laser Skirmish and I don't get along. But if Laser Skirmish it is, i'll still go for some socialising. :)

So LOCK IT IN EDDIE!

Either location is fine by me, don't really have a preference for the activity either, though bowling may be tad more appropriate?

Awesome, good to see people getting into it already :D Let's just make it Watergardens then to keep it easy, I will update the first post and thread title now and we can nut out the finer details shortly. Probably start with some bowling and move onto the laser skirmish?

Afaik, there will be two runs per person, so I assume everyone has a run, then it's round 2 for everyone to have their second run.

Another thing to consider is the turnout, I have seen this dyno day advertised on at least two other forums, so there could be a fair few people so unlikely all TOCAU members will have both runs done by then.

As long we all are parked up together, could still make a decent meet out of the dyno day.

Those two runs are done on the one time at the dyno. I.e you ramp the car up on the dyno and they will run it once and then again, back-to-back then the car comes off and the next one comes on. If you want another run, pay an extra 50 and go on again but that's a pretty dumb idea

That's a bit odd running back to back, no time to make changes to see if you can raise the power output.

In that case it is probably wise to get there as early as possible. And that does open the door for TOCAU members to take off after everyone is done and continue our meet elsewhere.

I've never been to a dyno day where they only give you one run then the car is ramped off for adjustments, this isn't dyno tuning, it's power runs and thats it. What adjustments could you make to a predominantly stock N/A car anyway?

      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.
