OBD II blue tooth connector off ebay and install the app in your smart phone.

You might want to edit your HU post.

Its confusing.

The Erisin used to boot up almost instantly, with only about a 3-5 second boot logo time, whereas the Erisin seems to take around 20-seconds to boot up. Admittedly, you can still use your reversing camera during the first 5-seconds of booting, but you can't play music or use video inputs (such as my front camera) until the unit has finished booting up, which is somewhat annoying.

Otherwise its a great post! lol

Mate where did you source those sound deadening mats?

How are they different from the Dynamats?

It's called ping Jing imported by Australian company called happy tiger. Can get it through the eBay but I befriended their rep in Sydney. Ment to be better than dynamat. YouTube it for reviews, it's cheaper and good shiz

I suppose the sound deadening worked out well for you so far? No issues like peeling off etc?

You need FATTER tyres!

I think I need a snorkel, air compressor, UHF, snatch straps, maybe a roof rack?

• UHF is definitely a must!!!
• Snorkel isnt needed if you dont intend to do any deep river crossing.
• Air compressor is required if you in the bush and hours away from the nearest town and you have a slow puncture.
• Ditto for snatch straps, the item is so small that it takes little space to store.
• Roof rack is only required if you ran out of space to store stuff inside the car, otherwise its a good fuel wasting feature if unused.

You dont really need raised height for most outback adventure, for a 2005 you really need to inspect the structs and springs to make sure they are in good condition to take the punishment from the corrugations.

I'm pretty sure as I've dealt with Tempe before.

I've heard good things on the Pirelli ATR as well, and they are about the same price as the Coopers from memory. My current state of the Bridgies I think I have about 15k km left still sometime to think about what tyres to get but Coopers sounds more rugged than the Pirelli.

TA give you have changed into a more A/T tyres are they noticeably noisier than the full bitumens OEMs? I don't think my wife allows me to have a 2nd set 17s for off-roading, I might as well trade the damn thing for a LC or Prado! :)

Hey TA,

I had a quick look on Google, it seems GY Australia dont stock the 255/60/19 size, for the Cooper they only have 255/55/19. My Grande trim funny enough wears OEM 245/50/19 only sort of realised when I parked next to another Kluger and noticed my ride sits slightly lower than the one with a 245/55/19.

Did some further research and probably the cheapest Cooper 255/55/19 Zenons is Tempe Tyres at $300 a pop.

Fantastic information TA74.

Thats some great information you shared, and I have a lot more faith in my Kluger's ability on the beach now.

Thanks for that TA74, disappointed to find out its only a 17'! haha

The tallest tyre I can find for the 19' is the 255/55/R19 which is about 1cm lower than your GT Radial AT3 17's.

Back to the drawing board for me.

To find tall tyres for 19's proved to be a challenging task!

BTW I did consider raised springs for the Kluger but unsure how it will affect the handling between a 20mm to 30mm raise.

TA74, may I ask what tyre size you bought to achieve the lift?

Thanks.

Get a mechanic to do it?

And if you do want to DIY, dont ever mix the green with the reds!

I seriously did not know the Nissan Cube is a mini 7 seater!

Mate where did you source those sound deadening mats?

How are they different from the Dynamats?

Damn you even got the underbody clean, such dedication! lol

Lots of TLC from you I'm sure!

Damn those Recaro baby seats cant be cheap!

Does your left knee hurts given that big bulking unit sits under the steering column?

Check if the engine oil is near the minimum on the dip stick?

Nothing wrong on switching over to the 16s as long the tyres are overall same diameter as your original 17's or 18's whatever OEM size.

H7 is the one with the spring clip to lock the bulb in place right?

H9 & H11 from memory have tabs where you turn and lock the bulbs in place, I'm afraid its too much trouble to mod the H9 bulb without breaking it, you are much better off getting a proper H7 bulb.

Bummer, I only know how to adjust the Grande HU which is;

1. Display - HU
2. Info - HU
3. Light switch - twist it on/off x4
4. Mic menu - Send sound (or whatever), turn it up to 2-3
5. Test
6. Profit

How much did you paid for the face lift speedo cluster? I much prefer the that over the pre-face lift one as it gives a more minimalist look.

Not sure how old is your eldest but for 4 kids your oldest better be seating in a booster seat at the back.

I've purchase a portable sub 2kg booster seat that doest not require a anchor/tether at babyrus, so my eldest daughter can sit in the 3rd row when required.

Bummer looks like it's a heck of a job to get heated side mirrors and no plug and play option.

Ah is that what it is?

I've noticed my Aurion dash is also showing similar symptoms this year after 7 years of ownership.

IIhave since purchased dash mats and hopefully able to hide it long enough to trade it in.
