does these meet still exist ? i want to go have a look..never been there..

but he doesnt reply..><'' how do i contact him..

wheres DJKOR ? can he help out...><''

was just told reseting the ECU wont help ...." it only make the setting to start from the lowest ..:" so @.@ ..?

Every dyno can have it's day where it reads differently. You can't really compare unless you have the different cars on the same dyno around the same time. What matters here is that you could see the difference between the K&N and stock and that indicates that it is reading consistent for comparing the same car with changes. are you serious ...??? why is my so **** ... but believe it or not ..i have raced so many cars ..roll-start and at the lights. audi tt, mazda mps ..golf gti..and always win though.. Those cars aren't particularly fast either. Besides, racing a car on the streets proves nothing. yea your right, racing a car on the street dont prove anything. but its just for fun..dont really care if it proves anything or not haha but yea ...APC did reset the ECU after putting the stock air box back on and then re-install the k&n the week after that. so now its been reseted ...hopefully it will be alright ?

Then you wake up, right? Your Aurion is definitely on the lower side on the power spectrum compared to other ones. not really. in real life. dont care if you believed it not. anyway thats not the point.

how do you use a filter re-charge kit ?

yea i had this some problem b4 alreay. car wouldnt start when the check VSC system comes up ( b4 had the kn installed). but found out it was the car battery that was almost out ..so yea...nothing to do with intake i guess ><''

Hi everyone … I have a 2008 (ex-cop) Toyota Aurion sportivo sx6 around 95,000 km. it’s in good condition, nothing wrong, CHECK VSC never comes up..UNTIL… Around 2+ months ago …I installed the K&N typhoon air intake (69-8611TS) at ultratune, about 2 weeks later, the “check VSC system”message comes up, when I was driving normally, but after I restart the car, it went away. Then about 1 month after that, the message came up again, and this time, won’t go away even after I restarted the car so I just kept driving it till I get home... few days later I rang up service department at southside Toyota ...and told the techs about my problem...he answered “was something to do with the calculation of the fuel and air for the computer and the engine , that it’s not suitable for the engine or something ? because that k&n is old stuff.. not suitable for new cars these day and is stuffing up the computer ? could damage to the vale in the long run?” so he suggested me to install the stock one or take it to a local dyno tune shop ..and they may fixed the problem. So i went to APC Australian Performance Centres at underwood (pretty nice people). Talked to them about the problem again and they said they could fix it. So on the first day, they did some kind of computer test (check ECU fault codes for $87), and came up with some error code (P0500 vehicle speed sensor) that says “ possible causes - vehicle speed sensor harness or connectors is open or shorted – vehicle sensor circuit poor electrical connection – faulty vehicle speed sensor – faulty combination meter – faulty engine control module and etc..” But none of that is related to the k&n air intake and my speedometer are fine…why does it come up with that code, in order to determine the cause of the problem the guy suggested me to install the stock airbox back on and drive for a week and see if the code still comes up…so I got the stock one installed backed in ( cost another$90 ) …drove it for a week and the warning sign didn’t come up as usual on the stock air box. So I went back to APC a week after which is today. they did a dyno test ( $291.75) on the stock and k&n air intake,(graph at the bottom) and found out the input for the fuel is still the same which means the air intake is probably not the cause of the problem…and the guy said something might be wrong for the sensor on the intake…. And now APC told me to drive again for a week with the k&n air intake and see if the “check VSC system” will come up again I have spent almost $500 for this..to fix the problem…and really don’t want to spend anymore… I mean the guys at APC are pretty professional and nice…they didn’t want to just tune my car and make it faster straight away without fixing the problem first…so in the meantime was wondering if anyone has this problem before…and any suggestion for it . Attached the dyno graph .red is stock. Blue is with the k&N. looks like k&n has less power at the acceleration ..until it reaches 132km ..it started to gain power....why is that...

haha thanks ><'''' yea used to have a old stock camry csi from 1997 ....had it for 13 years ..with 130,000km. never had any problem with the car...eventhough i always drive it hard out ..flooring it etc lol. but 13 yrs ...haha not that bad i guess ? on the top gear website...it says that the aurion will last million yrs ...ahaaha so i guess the aurion will last for a long time ? 20 yrs maybe ? by my is a ExCop car ><'' ...maybe wont last that long.... how old was ur old camry ? not as old as my was it ? my was 13 years old...1997 camry XD i treat it like a race car too when i got my license lol. so eventhough the the excop aurion was thrashed ..still will last a long time hey lol. whats TLC ? Point not well taken.. The car should've been inspected properly from top to bottom to avoid any unwanted problems. It might not help him this time, but it will next time and let this be a lesson. You don't want to advise people to do this and that only when bad things happened do you..? Despite of its negatives being an ex-polices, It's a nice car and hopefully no problem watsoever in the future. We're all happy for him. I'm sure nothing major & different would happen to this car as much as ours. defintly a big less for my parents and i XD hopefully the engine wont break down after a year or 2 LOL!

" shear the outer section of the brake rotor from the inner hat " what does that mean ? sorry im a newbie here ^^"

I was thinking this too. Should've taken a friend or your father for a closer detailed inspection of the vehicle before purchase. 60k km's in 1 year does sound high, but the main thing is still how that 60k km's was driven. How much did you buy the car for? Maybe if you'd known that the prior owner was the QLD Police, you could've used that to lower the price. Normally fleet and Government vehicles are replaced every 3-5 years as mentioned above, so it is strange that this one is being 'offed' after only a year/ well before i got it ..i had a friend who owns a 2007 aurion sportivo zr6 to test drive it ...he said that it feels the same as his ... and also had some parents friend ...to have a look too ...all said it was ok .. got the car for $22,000 ..i guess it was ok ? 2008 aurion with 60K ..for 22..?~ the guy gave us the log book in the end ...only find out it was QLD police untill he left ><'' didnt have any experience in buying 2nd hand car ....lol!

been flogged u serious ?? ><'' general duties ...what does it include ? like responding to 000 call ? chasing people and stuff right ? yea and also see on top of the car ....looks like the paint has been repainted at the top .. ( the place where u guys put the lights siren thing)and you could see some weird small crack or line ...like it was really been used as a general dutie car b4 ..not undercover ? and the car was made in 2008 oct, but registered on 2009 on the logbook ....and had like 60,000+ ..thats heaps right ? but why the police got rid of it ? coz they got the 2010 model one ? will my aurion wont last for long ? some people said if its a government car ...they take care of it regular servicing etc ...but one of my friend siad that they just drive it hardout for a year , not doing any servicing and then just get rid of it in a year or two ..is that true ><'' theres a lot of scratches on the dashboard by the way .... the badge at the back was stuck upside down as well...the 'sx6' badge ..turned in to 9x5

jesus .....was just joking about it. i wont actually do it ..why i put myself into trouble =.='' anyway its fun reading the reply i get lol! thanks guys ! btw ...my friend has a 2006 aurion sportivo sx6, he cant go pass the speed of 160km/hr....once he get there..he cant go over ... is there a limit on these aurion ? but for my ex-cop 2008 sx6, i can go 200km/hr and over ...

coz its fun ...XD the other night was parked outside my friends house ..and then when im about to leave and drive off...a car went pass me and he was speeding too. so i quickly chase up to that guy...and i think he thought i was a cop...he must have saw me chased up very quicky...and therefore he quickly slow down. my friend and i just cracked up laughing XD so i thinking would have been so much better if had the ipolice application XD but the aurion sportivo sx6 doesnt have the mp3/ipod output ? how much does it cost to get that ? my friend said it cost him $300...

a while ago ...was crusing with friends i saw a friend had ipod apps on his itouch ...its called ipolice ..had like a variety of police siren ...chasing ..etc.. i was thinking of getting that ...and play it when i drive my aurion ..to scare people maybe would that be illegal ? what will happen if a cop see it ...XD

For some1 who's worried about his new car, you sure take good pics of em.. :P haha thanks ....so far the car hasnt got any problems atm...who knows what will happen later XD but the car still got like 1.3 yr of warranty with toyota so yea...

hi .. recently just brought a 2nd hand aurion sportivo from car sales ...and after when i brought the car, i saw the logbook and it says the 1st owner was the Queensland police ...my parents was like wtf =.= the aurion was made in oct 2008, registered in 2009 ...and had like 60,000km + .... so was wondering ...since the 1st original owner was driven by the police .....would it be really bad ....
