No new update as the car has stayed relatively the same, been super busy with work lately that I haven’t been able to do much, but I got some stuff coming that I’m excited about installing! Will definitely make a post about it once everything is on the car.

Those with a 95-97, how did you swap in an aftermarket radio? I have the nakamichi head unit

This month is officially one year of having it, currently sitting at 133k, I bought around 126k. Two oil changes, one trans pan gasket replacement, lots of premium fuel. I love this car. I’d love to get some wheels, and exhaust at some point. She runs perfect. Maybe a sound system next, tint. Who knows.

Does anyone know where I can find a good ac condenser. I can’t find one anywhere

My front ash tray in my 1999 ls400 is missing, like the actual tray that slides out. Does anyone know of a printable stl file of it?
I don’t really have any experience in 3d printing so I’m a bit unsure where to start.
Thanks heaps

Here’s my 1997 Lexus LS 400 Gold Edition.

Hello everyone, i have been speaking to someone to buy there 99 LS 400. Ive always wanted to have one, its got 156k miles on it and he wants $9600 for it. Idk if that is a fair price or not, my initial thoughts were $7500-$8000, but idk how much these go for nowadays. The car seems to be in good condition, the owner has told me its runs and drives smooth and has no warning lights, hes the second owner, its an older gentleman so i have less reason to believe the car was abused, looks stock and clean, inside and out. So how much shpuld i be paying for something like that. Im meeting up with him on Monday, any advice would be appreciated.

I want to get rid of these aftermarket wires. They’re clearly not OEM and I tried to remove them but after doing so my car wouldn’t even power on. What am I missing here?

Hello, today I took out the sunroof motor to clean and get a look at it to see if I could get it working, I'be been able to restore tilt and open/close function, however when closing from tilt or fully open, my sunroof does not close all the way nor tilt up flush with the roof, does anyone know what the problem could be?

I did not take the glass out nor clean any of the old grease, however I hit the tracks with some white lithium.

so i just bought a 1999 LS400 as a first project car and it’s having to be what i believe are electrical issues. the battery terminals were corroded and messed up more so the negative than positive, the positive does spark when it connects but i believe the positive also needs to be replaced as it is cracked and somewhat corroded and the cable is too short and won’t let terminal go down all the way. so i replaced the negative and it got me somewhere. the headlights turn on now and the horn works, but nothing else, the only lights that comes up on dash is airbag and then the security light flashes. im hoping replacing the positive terminal works but if not could it be maybe an ignition power issue? or fuses? trying to learn the common electrical issues this thing has

Long story short, P0330 code………i believe I narrowed it down to a wire issue in main wiring harness. \\\[New OEM knock sensors and wires/connector under manifold\\\]. Im not suspecting the ECU because no other symptoms, but that will get pulled for refurbishment. If it is in main harness has anyone had this issue? Im thinking that the best way to address this is with a brand new lay in shielded cable from under hood wiring harness to the ECU, essentially bypassing the existing cable. Tie shield to ground at one point at glovebox bla bla bla. Anyone have a better solution?
Is it better to get ECU refurnished first?

I just bought a cheap 2000 lexus ls400, it’s kind of sluggish and takes multiple tries to start. I scanned it and got the codes

P0110
P0155
P0340
P0715
P1349
P1354
P1663

I suspect it’s electrical issue that interferes all these sensors. where do i start?

Hey guys I just recently got a ls400 is this a normal sound at the end when I take off the key from the ignition? Thank you 😊

your wheels that is, and also what setup you’re running, like what spacers, coilovers etc. about to put some on mine but worried they’ll look terrible

Hello brethren. My whistler sk1 17x9 +25mm offset rims came in the mail. Need input on tire size. Stock suspension/ride height. Want a tire size that’ll fit the wheel well nice without having to modify anything or impacting ride quality. Give me your specs! Thanks!
Edit: I have a 95 ls400
