After seeing the Nulon Oil treatment thread here I thought id give the injector cleaner with octane booster ago over the weekend.
http://www.nulon.com.au/products/fuel_treatments/octane_boost_and_clean
No idea if it cleans yet but it certainly made mine have a bit more grunt.
Feels a bit smoother and the wheelspin into 2nd gear this morning was an added bonus
Never seen the traction control light flash as much
Prob short lived at $29 a bottle but the timing in mine must of been set advanced enough from continuous freeway driving to cause pinging so was backing off.

OT
Mines the same colour :)
Wasn't sure when I got it being an "Red" car BUT in the flesh its great and I also get similar comments, esp when the sun brings out he gold mist in it.

I didnt find the cause. Still get the odd whiff when stopping after a run.
Ran around and sniffed everything, no joy.
Guessing it "may" be from an exh flange but need to get onto a hoist.

I would really like to get something like this and use my own gps etc apps.
Has anyone else bit the bullet?

I got mine from a local Ebay sale. Came in 3 days (Jan 17) approx $30 I think.
Is that the same cable?
Similar to this

Asked Grom a couple of questions re adding (sideloading) apps and info on rev cam.
Answer:
Dear barry,
The factory camera stays functional you just lose the factory USB port function in the vehicle.
You can install applications from the google play store as well as "sideload" applications of your choosing.
The ISF touch screen is a single point touch style screen and does not allow "drag and swipe" or multi touch gestures. Using applications outside what we offer bundled in the vline unit may not work or may have limitations due to this, there are up and down side arrows on the screen but may not do all the functions you need for those apps as they were not designed for our unit or that vehicle. In that case you would need to use a keyboard/touchpad/mouse/controller for full usability of those applications -
Having one issue that I didnt have before.
When I stop an oily smell comes up into the cab, mainly thru the dash vents.
I thought it may of been oil from oily hands on the cat convertor and would burn off but it hasnt changed.
Ive checked for leaks around trans, engine, diff etc...no joy.
Anyone know if there is a breather on the top of the gearbox?

Does the 250 have the ECT mode button on the dash like the 350? If so use that setting.

Thanks to gfs250's recommendation I had mine done today.
The oil came out black, but that doesn't always mean a lot.
Filter wasn't too bad and no buildup on the magnets in the pan.
Was easy to flush thru as mine has an heat exchanger on the side.
Had the diff oil changed as well. That just looked like diff oil when it came out
Right again for the next 70k's Cost for trans oil change and filter $440
An hours driving it just felt nice and smooth, not much noticeable difference but most of my runs are in top gear on freeways atm anyway.

Noises can be so many things. Even rubber bushes that are sticking make knocking noises.
if you move steering wheel a small amount can you replicate the noise?
If so whilst its doing it get someone to hold their hand around
1. Ball joint, 2, Sway bar bushes, 3. Rack mounts 4. Shock top and bottom (whilst gently bouncing car) etc. any knock will be felt in the hand.
If its a bush spray with lanoline or similar.
If its a noise that needs a load try to replicate, try on a speed bump or driveway entry and work out what side.
Does it change if you gently apply brakes? Are wheel nuts tight? Is top suspension mounting tight.......Bounce with hood open and look and listen. etc etc
Might be your muffler bearings, have a look underneath ;)

Dont know BUT I have changed oil on many vehicles in trans, diff's, xfer cases etc that all say, sealed, good for life etc etc.
Issues afaik only come when items like organic clutch materials start to break down. Two things can happen, good and bad.
Unsubstantiated good thing is the "old" oil carries around the minute particles of organic material and it enhances (may?) the worn parts.
An oil change "may" also loosen up deposits when subjected to higher levels of cleaning and friction modifiers in new oil.
Bad thing is the filter may slowly block up. This has been known to cause overheating issues in other vehicles.(MB etc)
In my book an vehicle with high k's and no changes would probably be best to leave it alone...who knows?
Toyota do suggest after 50k's for the same GB in Toyotas. (Advised from an dealer service manager)
Me...I always change ALL the lubricant in my vehicles every 2 years.

Mine getting done next Monday (inc Diff) at Kewish Automotive next monday.

I use Bosch wipers get them from ebay.
I also use ceramic pads but Ive got Hawk sent over from USA, also ebay.
With the carbon build up get some Subaru top end cleaner from a Subaru dealer and spray into intake as per cans directions.
Take it for a "thrashing" :)
