  • Th Kings Throttle controller came today for the 1kz-te

    easy to hook up though there double sided tape is crapolo. lucky i have spare gopro pads on hand.

    Had a Quick drive and definitely has taken that flat spot out of the pedal and much smoother to drive.

    • Treated the 120 to a new set of bendix pads and brake fluid replacement flush. Much better now it doesn't squeal!

      • I started mine for the first time in 4 months today. I put the 240V charger on the battery last week, cranked her over this morning, and she fired up first go and idled quiet and smooth just like the day I took delivery. I then gave her a quick wash, full load of fresh diesel, then took her for a 100klm drive down the freeway.

        • Replaced the battery today for my 2007 Prado 120 diesel. 10 years is a pretty good run I think. Still had not carked it completely, but did not use it yesterday and today it was a little sluggish starting. Wouldn't like it to not start for shmbo. hee he!!

          • That's a pretty good run, the Toyota OEM batteries certainly are high quality in my experience.

            • Just as an addendum, the car seems to be running a lot smoother today. Could that be because the battery is fully charged? Or is it my imagination??

              • The original 120 series rims had a lot of corrosion and looked pretty ordinary. So i bought some 150 series rims and ordered 5 Pirelli Scorpion ATR in 265/65/R17 at $224 a piece from Tyresales.com.au and had them fitted today.

                This is how they look on the 120 if anyone is considering doing this:

                  • so a bit has happened to the 120 in the past month. hit a tree while on the tracks, got that repaired through insurance (will be posting damage photos soon), then gave her a 190k service, then bought and installed the new superpro upper arms to get wheel alignments back in good shape (handles a lot better now and havn't gotten an alignment yet).

                    today took her back out on the tracks and did alright for the state of the tyres on it at the moment.

                    coming soon is a throttle controller from supercentre and their new slim lightbar.

                    • Today i fitted up a Direction Plus 30 Micron fuel manager kit as a pre-filter. Installation was very simple, no swear words required.

Fitted a rear view camera and honestly that was the hardest part the double din head unit took about 10 mins to switch out, I did buy the Toyota to Din quick connects thru Aepro but unit is awesome and looks good in dash. The only thing I would add is because screen is large is when fitting sort of adjust it so it is pointed to the driver as much as possible it did it straight at first and after installing realised and quickly adjusted agian, also use a pillow to let the entire assembled rest without straining wire etc when switching units. I brought mine on a fleabay 20% off deal which come up often. Now just trying to get my head around android operating system.












                          Hopefully these images are the correct size.
                          Also fitted this rear view camera installed in license plate light but while it does see behind you is obviously off centre in this position will fit a different one later as close to centre as possible. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/112231396...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
                          Hey Hobes
                          after having the unit for a while now
                          how is it?
                          does it do all you wanted ?
                          is it easy to use?
                          does it have any funky quirks ?
                          can you read the screen in the sun ?
                          can you adjust the screen ? up & down ?

                          cheers James

                          • At 212320km changed the spark plugs for some Denso Iridium long life units, p/n. SK20HR11
                            Also gave the MAF sensor a clean.

                            • Hey James.
                              How is it.
                              I am very surprised by it audio quality, nice to have big screen to look at torque and maps with.
                              Does it do all you wanted.
                              Yes and there is obviously a lot more it can do still looking for a offline map app for off road stuff, will adding a DVR over the next few weeks.
                              Is it easy to use.
                              Yes and damn it starts fast.
                              Does it have any quirks.
                              The AM had to have its booster connected up to work as the aepro kit did not do this, but what surprised me was how easy it is to pull out and replace headunit in the Prado. So far once it crashed while using torque and answering phone call but I updated torque and it never happened again. Also I am a novice at Android so there is probably a bunch of features I have not got my head around yet.
                              Can you read it in sun.
                              Yes, the original unit was more affected by sun,even sunlight directly over head is no concern as it sits proud from dash.
                              Adjust screen up/down.
                              You can only articulate the screen on its hinge pretty much to put a DVD in, there is enough movement for me to find my spot.

                              Several guys I know are looking at purchasing one but are concerned at price, in my opinion they are cheap as hell (through eBay) and actually have great warranty compared to other name brand units.
                              Cheers.
