Hi all, Does anyone know if someone in aus has completed a 3is front bumper conversion to an ISF? I think it looks awesome

Has anyone had any experience with RDA brake rotors? I have a set of dimpled/slotted front rotors and ceramic pads that I’ll consider fitting at some point. https://www.empoweredautoparts.com.au/dimpled-slotted-lexus-is-f-5.0l-v8-use20r-10-2008

Thanks Peter. Went with the low mileage one in QLD (although i guess now its done another ~1800kms :s).. got the deal done for 62.5k with a free set of cross drilled/slotted front rotors, ceramic brake pads and 6 months rego so im reasonably happy. Did pick up a few stone chips on the drive down though which sucks but couldn't be happier with the car. Shouldn't have waited as long as I did. Now trying to find out if I can get the mirrors to fold in automatically when the car is switched off - read some conflicting info on the forum about it though...

Thanks for the replys. Will utilise the search function more.. For those that are interested, after an 18 hour drive relocating my new ISF to its home state I figuired out that you can only set increments of 5 kph on cruise control if radar (vehicle to vehicle) mode is.. however you can switch the radar cruise off and switch to a conventional cruise control (by pushing the cruise control arm forward for 1 second when you initially turn the cruise on) and in this mode you can set speed in increments of 2 kph. Re the Sachs, managed to find the stickers on the cars I looked at to confirm they were installed. Good to know it was fitted from MY12 onward. Cheers

Couple of other questions ive got gents.. Can you change the increments on the cruise control to 1's instead of 5's? All the ISF's ive driven now have cruise controls that go up in increments of 5's only Are 245 fronts and 275 rears on an ISF going to give me any roadworthy issues in Victoria?

Yes Id though the same thing with the bluetooth check. Does anyone know if theres a way to confirm an ISF has the ZF dampers other than just going on its MY?

Valid point re the vehicle duty.. Id factored that in for a private purchase but hadnt thought about that for an interstate dealer purchase. Who have you found the most competitive to insure with in Vic?

Yeah still trying to convince myself to make such a purchase on the opinion of someone else but sounds like yours worked out so perhaps I’ll have to consider doing the same. Thanks for all the advice Peter, I’ll be sure to post back here when I’ve made a purchase!

Im in Vic. Will be hard finding the time to drive the private sale on the sunshine coast back to vic is all.. the dealer in brissy can freight the car for circa $500

Yes, both black, one in qld and one in vic. $59k and $67k respectively

Thanks mate, read that. Im definitely chasing a MY13 but just a little unclear on the timing of when the different MY's started and unsure whether im missing something with the cars im looking at or whether one of the dealers is just asking too much for the car just because its a 2012 MY13 vs a 2013 MY13.

Hi all, About to pull the trigger on an ISF but have a question I need answered. Ive done a lot of reading on this forum and others about model year differences but want clarification before I go ahead with the purchase. Two cars.. one with a build date of 12/2012 being sold as a 2013 MY13. The other with a build date of 09/2012 being sold as a 2012 MY13. Can anyone confirm for me that there is no difference between these two cars? The 2012 is being sold for significantly less even though both cars have the same km on them.
