3. Removed headlights and cleaned them. (Just like new now)

4. Horn stopped working os in went some Air Horns.

5. Plastic welded all cracks and added extra support to door panels and window surround.

6. Lowered Car with 30mm King Springs

7. The second head unit packed un so replaced with a Panasonic ???? touch sceen unit and re wired to speakers for future upgrades.

At a guess around $6 - $7000 maybe more. just having to replace the head until alone has cost me just over $3000. I am a fellow NZer and live on the North Shore of Auckland. Ill put a post in the Lexus Soarer Owners Club in Australia tonight when i get home. there is some serious buffs in there. Oh and about my post i just didnt know what to say being the first and all.

What's in the Soarer JZ? 2.6l V6 with twin turbo? What sort of grunt does it give?

A friend of mine in Sydney has a V8 version, a '95 I think, that they paid $AU36K for!!! worth about $NZ17K here, the joys of Godzone! ;)

Hey Greeneyes. The Soarer came in 2 engine types the 4L V8 (UZZ31, UZZ32) or the 2.5L Straight 6 Twin Turbo (JZZ30). The LEXUS versions SC300 & SC400 in America that sometime make their way here were in the V8 and 3L non turbo. Im not a know it all about these cars but i am crazy about them and im always learning more. If there is a question I dont know i will find the answer so i do know.

I have just brought in a JZZ30 5sp manual Twin Turbo Soarer, full body kit, 17's and all i can see from the pics is that it has a turbo timer and the imitation wood grain interior. I took an auto one of these out for a test drive the other day and damn it was fast, cant wait to get it hear! Will post mods on arrival. :D

      LS460 Folding Mirror Doesn't Stop.

      Hi. The driver's mirror on my RHD LS460 folds in and out okay, but when folding in, it gets to the stop position but keeps trying to go further, so it continuously clicks. Is this repairable, or will the mirror have to be replaced? Has anybody fixed this problem? If so, how? Cheers.

      Carplay issues with iPhone IOS 18.1 making & receiving calls

      Just wondering if anyone else has recently encountered the following issue: I have two phones now running with IOS 18.1, an iPhone SE and iPhone 16 and they both are having the same problem, i.e. when making a phone call, the party I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. I first encountered the problem with my iPhone 16 and at first thought it was the cable connecting to the USB-C on the phone. I went out and purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter which circumvented the problem. However today I needed to connect the iPhone SE and it too got the same problem in that when making a phone call, the person I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. Checking sites in the USA it appears to be a common problem. UPDATE: The problem did not exist using IOS versions prior to IOS 18

      Driving Light

      Hi Peter, After taking onboard your suggestions and a few good nights sleep to mull over options the new driving lights are installed and working. No holes were drilled into vehicle but I did cut a small slot into back of the larger plastic fuse box cover/lid to source power from jump start terminal. (12v battery is in boot of NX 450h+) The wiring was a little fiddly but not having to take the dash apart was a huge bonus to installing the XBB kit. Was able to ‘reuse’ relay base from wiring harness supplied with Ultra Vision lights. Fitted a 20 amp inline fuse as lights draw 13.2 amps total. Smart button works a treat so can have high beam on without driving lights. So glad that I found this forum when I did, Neil
