  1. The head-unit needs proper cooling, so wrapping it up is not the smartest thing to do. From what i've been reading the DC Error is either coming from: 1) Loose or improper power supply to the unit. I need to verify fuses and grounding + connectors. 2) Shortcircuit in speakers or speaker-wiring. There are lots of them, even in the backdoor. So again i'll need to open each one of them, measure them out, and check wiring.
  2. @Srikumar are you still facing this problem ? My Wife's 2008 Pajero has the same issue popping up today.
  3. Thanks for the lovely drive @Srikumar i was glad to tip my toes in the sand again after being away for a while. I always knew that one day i would become famous and known because of my stupidities, so that crest was indeed something to remember I've watched the video footage of other members crossing that ridge maybe 50 times in slo-mo to see what i did wrong there and how i can avoid it in the future. In my case i was riding the ridge but starting to loosen the throttle to slowly come down off the dune, but i lost momentum and in a last effort to win back momentum and pushing the gas, the car straightened itself again, ending up sitting perfectly straight on the top of the dune. Big thumbs up to @G.huz in the Pathfinder in front of me. He did not seem to break a sweat following @Rahimdad. Another big thumbs up to @Brette who struggled a bit initially but never lost his smile and positive attitude ! And thanks to @Gaurav for breaking in my new clutch and engine 😂. I should put a stamp on it called "Offroad Approved by Carnity's Gaurav". See you guys next Friday !
  4. Fantastic write-up @Gaurav From Fewbie level and up this should be practiced. Maybe Carnity can setup a category called "HOW TO..." where all these write-ups are gathered ? It could become an essential knowledgebase for newbies and people who are interested in joining the club. A few examples: * HOW TO repair a pop-out * HOW TO deflate properly * HOW TO deactivate your ASC * HOW TO follow convoy rules
  5. Damn... This is the stuff boys dream about. I love the ideas like the crate they brought with the Demon for 1USD, they did it just "because they can". 84,000 American Schmeckels for an +800hp drag car. That's the best bang for the buck a man can have....
  6. It is originating from the Latin "Infinity". The meaning is described below: INFINITI is a luxury Japanese car manufacturer that launched in 1990. Its car symbol stands out for its sleek design that is stylish and trendy. The name of the car company was chosen in 1987, and the logo symbolizes the name of the brand. The badge is designed with two lines that lead up to a horizon. It is even known to pay homage to Mount Fuji, which is Japan's famous peak. It can also be described as an upside down V and looks similar to a mountain or a road. The horizon is sentimental because the car brand aspires to new horizons in the automotive industry. Some representatives from the company have also described it as traveling on the open road toward infinity. The senior manager at INFINITI USA communications, Kyle W. Bazemore states, " "The INFINITI logo represents the meaning behind the 'total ownership experience' between our owners and our cars, crossovers and sport utility vehicles. ...From the moment a customer hears about us, to when they might visit one of our retailers, then to the purchase process, driving the car, taking it back for maintenance, to the next time the customer needs a new vehicle, we want that experience to be never-ending, to 'INFINITI.' And in driving the car, we want the driver to feel like they want to take it on a never-ending road, an infinite road." INFINITI's symbol was inspired by a lemniscate that dates back to the start of human civilization and has commonly been used by mathematicians. The metallic silver coloring of the logo is meant to appear modern and contemporary, which represents the cutting edge cars that continue to be released by INFINITI. Although Nissan is the parent company of INFINITI, the silver detailing symbolizes elegance and embraces the high-end design of each automobile. The logo is unique among other automakers because the name of the brand is not included in the symbol, which allows it to look regal and minimal. Although some would assume that the car brand would choose to use the standard infinity 8 symbol for their logo, they may have wanted to avoid possible confusion with other brands that use the same symbol to represent their company.
  7. I think it comes down to these factors: 1) Road tyres vs Offroad tyres: Most road tyres are not meant to be deflated to 14psi as their wall strength is to weak. 2) Offroad driving behaviour: taking quick sharp turns definitely causes pop-outs to happen faster. 3) Type/model of rim. 4) Weight of the vehicle.

  9. I just use an old iphone SE with an app called "dashcam" it starts recording automatically when you drive and makes clips of 3 minutes each.
  10. Actually the dashcam was recording the whole afternoon but i had to compress it all in a short film
  11. Never heard and i couldn't be more happy about it
  12. Hi, If the Pajero is not originally equipped, you could go for the aftermarket brackets. Have a look at below article: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/road-safety/184915-aftermarket-isofix-brackets-child-seat.html
  13. From what I’ve read a while back, there is a huge pressure on car makers to make their cars as streamlined and aerodynamic as possible to achieve their emission and efficiency numbers. The front of the cars look very similar now as a result of the focus on pedestrian safety and NCAP scores. The big door pillars protect against rollovers, and on top of that many of the designers moved from the big German car makes to the Koreans or even the Chinese brands. So yes I think these factors cause the cars to look very similar nowadays.
