That sounds good, but I'm not sure about the $25,000.oo room.  it would be a great view of the race.

I have been running Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres on my ISF for a few years now, & they are a good tyre, you will enjoy them.  The newer Michelin Pilot Sport 4s are a better tyre, & I will be getting them when the MPSS wear out.

I’d say they are for the sensors/cameras.

My guess would be self-driving vehicles.

Cheers John, yeah in the flesh they are very solid, you can see a lot of TLC went into the design, quality etc.  As per the pics, RR was very specific about shielding them from the heat with the material supplied etc so as long as they are fitted correctly using that stuff, i cant see these ones failing.

I was actually shocked though at the price of OEM ones.  I expected a higher price but was quoted $123.50 each so about 1/2 the price of the RR ones (low exchange rate and freight charges is what kills it when ordering anything from the states).

Anyways a week one and all is good.  Kind of feel like there has been some settling in.  I can feel the vibration enough to remind me but nothing over the top.  Throttle in various situations does feel more engaged, more connected.  Minimal increase in noise but really its miniscule as all noises from car is drowned out by the headers lol.

So overall still happy how its going  

They do look well made, but been RR Racing you would expect them to be.  heat shielding on the engine mounts, they have thought of everything.  They sound like a good mod.  If my engine mounts ever go I’ll look at the RR ones.   The OEM mounts are reasonably priced.

They do look impressive.

Welcome.  wow what a good looking beast.

Yes there is some spare space in the engine bay!   been a 2JZ engine, there is plenty of turbo goodies for it, & it could easily make more power than an ISF.   but no..

That's an excellent setup.

Yes she still drives like new.  Lexus of Chatswood service look after her for me.  I do like the look of this model.  GS’s are a good highway vehicle.  Mine is a 2003 model & only came with the 2JZ GE inline 6.   A V8 would have been better.   The V8 GS didn’t arrive in Australia till the new model GS in 2005.

I was driving the GS Ltuned on the M2 & she clocked over to 166,666km on the ODO.  I couldn’t take a picture while driving, so took the next exit & got this one.

plus one of the old girl.

Looking good, enjoy your new ride.

That’s good news, you will enjoy the sound & extra power.  Chris is excellent. he installed my PPE header.

It’s a pity that our dollar is low. 

Of course I would recommend Lexus of Chatswood, why wouldn’t I.  you will get a quality job done by people that have done many headers on the ISF before, with all the correct tools to do the job without damaging your vehicle.   If you do go somewhere else, make sure they have fitted many headers to an ISF before, or they will be learning on your vehicle.  it is not a straight forward job.

Welcome, it looks like a nice IS200.  enjoy.

I’m running Michelin Pilot Super Sports tyres all round on the ISF, 245/35 front & 275/35 rear, & they are great tyres.  But the Michelin Pilot Sports 4s are an even better tyre.  once my MPSS wear out the MPS4s will be going on.  yes they are more pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Hi all,  more of an FYI if anyone is looking to tune their ISF.  

Now just to point out im not affiliated with these guys in anyway, havent used them before as mine has already been tuned but just sharing.  Not sure if any of you have heard of ETuners based in Taren point SYD.  I see many of their posts via social media, tuning the usual Euro suspects like the A45, GTI, C63, RS7, RS3, M3 and even the new I30n etc.  All with some really big gains with minimal mods.  Dump pump, exhaust, tune etc.  Even at the moment they shared something i think last week, their tuned RS3, Aussie record at 10.22.

Anyways i messaged them a while ago and they couldnt tune our cars at the time but i was bored earlier in the week so asked again out of curiosity and they said they believe they could possibly be able to tune it now.  Mine is a daily ride but they asked if they could have the car overnight they could give it a go.  Given their tuning results from other cars it looks promising to have another player on the market who can potentially tune our cars.

Anyway they advised $1250 for a custom tune (one of the cheaper quotes for Sydney tuners anyway). 

This sounds excellent, it will be good to hear how you go.

Sounds good.  I'm still running Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the ISF,  but I have heard good things about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tyres, & I will get them when my MPSS tyres wear out.

On the flip side, can you believe the motor on my passenger side has just stopped.  I used the varex last on the weekend and now the passenger muffler is permanently open.

Grrrr.  I though the issue was finally fixed, might have to reconsider singing their praises lol.

I hope you get you varex motor fixed, it sounds like a great idea to be able to quieten the exhaust down when you need to be quiet.  I do like my JoeZ exhaust, but there are times I would like it to be quieter.

Welcome, she looks good.

Another nice GSF,  enjoy.

any pictures.

Thank you Matthew, it was a fun day at the track, as always.  I was using 3 GoPro cameras, that is how all footage is on the same lap.  I use a program called RaceRender 3 to overlay my RaceChrono lap timer with external GPS receiver & OBD-II reader data onto the GoPro footage, than you find the bits you like & I join them together using a program called VirtualDub.  It is time consuming, but I enjoy seeing the data on the footage when I watch it to relive the day.    the ISF is a great fun vehicle

Here is one I made at Eastern creek (or SMSP) in my ISF.   there were some cool cars on the track with me that day.  I slowed down to let them pass.  lol.

The GSF is a great looking vehicle, enjoy.

Looks good, enjoy.
