I think you'll find they are the standard egr gaskets. Won't hurt to rip the end off in the first pic and have a look. You may be in luck. If not, that's where the blanking plate goes anyway. ...

Ah righto lol !!
Sweet looks like a simple job use some gasket glue to Yeh ?

You can if you like. I didn't bother and haven't had any leaks from it. They don't use any from the factory...

Ok cool Thx for the help

No worries. I should add, I have had mine in since around 7000ks, just over 60000ks now and haven't had any dramas with leaks or anything. I have also blocked both ends of that pipe across the front of the motor, as well as getting the egr jet blanking plate from yd25.com.au to remove the pipe that pokes into the inlet manifold. So I have mine blocked in 3 places haha

Yep, late 09 onwards to some time in 12 I think, had factory dual batteries. When they had the floods in thailand and went back to japan they went to 1 battery again for a while, then back to 2 when from thailand again... mine is a 10 and has the 2. They are connected in parallel, but it is easy as to put either a solenoid isolator or dc-dc charger in to charge the second one. There is a lovely spot on the driver's side quarter panel to fit a redarc or similar solenoid type isloator.

So mines a factory single battery but a 2nd can be put in ??

 

[bods]

Yep, just gotta fit a battery tray there and you're good to go

Can definitely notice the difference with EGr when air con use to be on car would struggle now not at all more torque in every gear and spools up earlier good cheap mod !!
