ilv1004s

just replace i with a 2nd hand unit

200 to 300

intresting how you went with the ISF rear mufflers

they are restrictive as well

have you actually physically tried? or just saying it doesnt fit cuz its different part numbers

as far as i know

IS200/300/altezz RS200/AS200 is all the same

if problem persist youlll need to get a new nav unit

\itll be around 600-800 used

as long as the bellhousing is for a JZ itll fit

is200 and is300 HU are exatly the same 

and so is the bypass harness

its not a sensor or anything

its the secondary cats on the exhaust 

take it out or replace the mid pipes and youll be good

the mirror itself is physically different 
LHD and RHD are different in glass as well

So how about performance and maintenance of GS 350?

best answer is go test drive one
for performance
maintanence is just like any toyota/lexus

spare are available for 10 years after them model production is finished
so 4gs was killed off in 2020 so you have untill 2030 untill parts will be made new as a minimum 
toyota/lexus still makes parts for older 2nd gen and even 1st gen IS as well which is now nearly 20 years old

well lets start with can you post a pic of your car?

front end pic plz

also what grade is it?

the f sport ones are 2 piece from factory

if you wanted to save money and upgrade you can go DBA rotors for normal is350 and Rc350

its not 2 piece rotors but least u upgrade the rotors and go slotted

oh and not metnion much cheaper at atound 200-300 per rotor

as far as i know

2is cant be changed

the pinb is located in the centre of your spare tool kit behind a velcro cover

@ilv1004s - you sir are a genius!

Turns out that my wife had a loose empty freezer bag which  had been sucked out of the glove box whilst closed and then into that cabin filter space (and inlet above it) - causing a dramatic loss in airflow. 

Using the instructions in the video to undo the glove box, boom saw it straight away, just yanked it out - (checked quality of filter but its still quite good) and boom we have air con again! Great news considering the next couple days forecasts! 

 

good to hear mate

check your cabin fiter dirty blocked cabin filter usually casues the lack of air flow

Hi guys

I'm in the market for a used white or orange GS-F (my first Lexus!). I've noticed prices have jumped from the $70s to $90s in the past 6mo as the COVID car market has put a rocket under everything. I understand this is a niche model with a small but passionate following. I also understand this car is no longer in production and no replacement is planned.

My observation is they typically sit on the market for several months because of their low profile/demand (I love that it's one of those Q cars that 'if you know, you know').

Do you see prices retracting back to pre-COVID levels any time soon? Any other advice for a first-time buyer?

Cheers

AG

i dont think it'll drop as much more like itll keep itself around there

i dont think covid has to do with it either

main points are for this is

1. rare (even rarer now as 2020 is the last model)

2. 5 year max model run

3. no F model thats newer with 4 doors and a NA V8

anybody running with pedders lowered springs? opinions please thinking of putting them on my is250c for a drop

iv merged 2 threads together

next time please keep to one topic instead of creating multiple

1300 installed

Or 1100 supplied

Sevenhills 2147

Lexmania

hi there i have a set of genuine F sport springs and shocks

not the factory ones but the aftermarket bilstein f sports from the F sport USA catalogue

will lower your car by 1" or so

i can install for extra cost as well

dont put cheap springs like pedders and kings on the car it ruins it

need to check codes  but it sounds like gearbox solonoids

a service wont fix it

you need to replace the gearbox
once the vsc light comes on and car tricks to codes theres really no turning back for that gearbox

the key is preventitive maintanence

if your in sydney bring it over and i can have a look at the car for u

but gearbox replacement inc labour supplied and fitted with a full service is 2800

60 is very resonable

key fob programing take it to dealer

theres not enough memebers with es350s to havea dedicated section
