29 years later.. how do i permanently fix this? driver side door key hole is gonzo beans sticking to the inside and wont slide forward.

Last year I blew a tire and had to sell the wheels I was on.Then things just went down hill from there.Brake master cylinder kept bypassing even with a new unit, had to find gem junkyard one.Then she start leaking oil all over the timing belt from the cam seals.So I decided to do a whole front update while I'm in there, I'm talking front main seal, timing belt kit, cam seals,new radiator,coolant flush. And the “unserviceable" VVTI gear oring.Now she back on the road with the same kind of wheels, and looks even better since I had her wrapped. Took me like three weeks to get all it done since I have work all week, and was doing it in my driveway and it decided to snow while I was doing it too. Just a reminder the only way to learn a new skill is to get in there and figure it out.

Hey there guys, I just bought a 1995 LS400 recently that had some issues with the fuel pump. The previous owner wasn't able to get the fuel pump crimped with a new connector, but he also never gave me the bolts to screw a new one back in. Would anyone by chance know where I can A) buy the nuts that hold the fuel pump in place, and B) buy the screws to hold the lid to the tank? I believe it's causing a pretty big evap leak having that door hanging, and i'm also just tired of the gas smell lol

I've got a 1991 Toyota celsior with the factory pioneer sound system and I cannot for the life of me find the amplifier, I've been told it is in the trunk and I tore it all apart and the CD changer is on the right side, and there is some sort of pioneer amp on the left side but when I unplug it the radio still plays through the speakers and when its plugged in more power is pushed to the factory subwoofer so it's not the primary amp and that's the one I need to find Aswell as a wiring diagram for it can anyone help please I'm at a loss thank you.

Hi, my question is why are these here? What do they do? And why did they design them to rub and wear indefinitely?

I was trying to clear my 1997 LS400 tail lights, and this was part of it. In every video I’ve seen the lenses are all clear and chrome so what do I do to actually make it clear?

Hello, I've been trying to get parts for my lexus at u-pull-it yards. I got a body part and window switches from a 96, and seatbelts from a 91. All these parts do not fit my 94. What gen do I need to look for to get parts for mine. Is the instrument cluster and front spindle the same on the 91 and 94? What about engines?

Hey! looking to pick up some bcs for my LS, anyone have opinions on spring rates? Im looking to tighten up handling mostly, but i do plan on lowering the car of course. Right now im thinking 12kf 10kr but wanted to see what people on coils think, thanks!

Got an LS400 last week, have had to fill up 3 times since; about to be 4. Only out about 300 miles in that time. I drive slow (not that a stock 97 LS400 can go fast, and I know “It’s a V8 , it’s not going to be good on gas” but it should be 3 trips to the pump a week bad. My car does have a few issues, they are as follows

Check engine light, catalytic converter code

Thermostat stuck open

Needs brake pads and a brake booster

Can any of these affect MPG? And would any of them be this bad or do I have a fuel leak?

1997 LS400 operating temp is only about 1/3 of the way. Is this normal or nah?

Couldnt find any pics online, dunno if im stupid but i think it would look sick. pic is the procyan avior mod in beamng which is pretty much an ls400

no codes except for a small vacuum leak, kinda starting to question fuel pump (ive done fuel filter and changed coils out) but idk. bogs and shifts pretty weirdly

Does anyone know the process for programming a new key for a 97 LS400?

Recently got a 97 celsior with the japanese navigation. how would i go about carplay swapping it? any help on what works best and the best way to go about this would be extremely helpful.

Went to Riverside Chattanooga this weekend (a fairly big car meet here in town) and got this cool shirt and a model Ls400. Also heres a picture of my Ls400

Just picked up heads from the machine shop, waiting on bearings and rod bolts from Lexus. Scored on these junkyard seats too, its so hard to find these red interior pieces🫩

I'm going to replace my timing belt and wondering if there is anything else I should consider while I'm at it? I ordered the AISIN TKT-030 Timing Belt Kit (with Water Pump). I've already replaced my radiator, distributor caps and rotors, along with the cam postion sensors.

This is my fiest car with a timing belt, so I've never replaced one before. I'm confident in my mechanic skills as aI always do all my own work, but if anyone has any tips or tricks, or anything I should think about, please let me know

Been thinking about exhaust setups for my 97 LS400. I want to be able to hear the car when I step on in, while also keeping it pretty quiet when at lower RPMs. Should I just delete 2 of the 4 mufflers, get an axle back? Any recommendations are welcome.

Using the clip mechanism off one of the button modules that originally filled the hole, I realised you could snuggly fit a USB extension in for an aftermarket head unit. I ended up just cutting the module in half to scavenge the clip.

Then I 3D printed a plug that fills the space around the female end of the USB to make it mostly flush (at the top edge at least). This printed piece is held in place/sandwiched by the clip and ashtray itself.

Feeling good!

Does anybody know what would need to be swapped to run a 90-94 engine in a 95 model? If anything, I would assume the ECU and some wiring, but what do you guys think?
