1) It’s thrashed – I skid it, I slide it, I take it up the mountains, I race it.

2) I’ve pulled most of the trim out + air con.

3) It’s too low - 15,000kay old Racing Logics coilovers.

4) It won’t pass a RWC.

5) It’s in undercoat.

This is a genuine Australian delivered Lexus, plates do not come with the car, $2700 on a new gearbox, $1000 on new radiator, $1100 on new water pump, pulleys and major service, lots of misc things like o2 sensors replace and so forth done, mechanically you can not fault, despite how I treat it.

The guards have also been hand flared roughly 2 inch’s.

$12,500 or swap for something humorous?

u said mechanically you can't fault it...then why won't it pass RWC? Too low?

I was actually the next buyer in line for this car few years back when you snapped it up :P

Too low, coilover travel does not meet legal requirements, no cats, too loud need to put rear trim back in, and tires are debatable. Technically need to change the color of the car on the transport data base to match rego sticker..

Of course this can all be overcome depending whom you know and where you go.

Mark:

You would have to get your own road worthy, and transfer into your name (see above).

I can get a RWC that will pass, but I won’t be held reasonable for when you get defected driving it home.

The RWC I refuse to put in my name

Whats your name I dont remember dealing with you? I bought it from Chris, who bought it off Jason... then I swapped it to Josh for the Skyrice which I have spent way too much moneys on just like I did with the lexus.

Thats not even when it was at its best, when I get home ill post pics of the 6000watt RMS stereo system I had in it if i remember/can be bothered. Loudest Lexus in Australia :)

Main ingredients were:

2 x Blaupunkt Burning Desire 2500watt RMS MonoBlock Amplifiers

2 x Digital Designs 3515d's in custom ported boxes built to a sound engineers specifications.

There was another 1000watt RMS 4 channel for the interior fill speakers, a capacitor, pirahna dual battery system, boot and bay mounted AC delco dry cells.... too much to list.

Could drive through broadbeach with the stereo @ 30% volume and watch shop front windows shake and shit fall off shelves at the coffee shops.

Although the funniest night was when I rocked up at Autobarn in Bundall for a soundoff, got there an hour and a half late, so I couldn't enter, they had two sponsored cars, 1 was a Pioneer Car, 1 was some shit Sony Xplode car, both were duking it out in the final run of the night. As I parked i had the stereo cranked.

They had to re-run the sound off because the lexus gave higher readings than either of the cars and f**ked up the competition, and it was 8 meters away from the sound measuring thingies. OWNED.

Car used to be beautiful. Really Beautiful. Your lucky your so damn sexy Josh or I'd be in the shovel bashing party too :laugh:

Good luck with the sale man, its a f**king solid car, with a little bit of money and TLC, it could be returned to its former glory pretty easily.

Drift Limo: It's under coat

Jame's baby: I no deep down you feel the pig love! I always told you I was going to do something dead set dumb to it.

Adam: I'm pretty much bored of it, and I miss my 500hp+ R32, but at the time I needed a 4 door for work. So now I don't, I'm after another small, nimble turbo car to come out playing agian (only genuine 500 - 600rwhp+ cars need apply if you want to sell me something)

LXU55 owes so much money now, I'm not too interetsed in spending more on it, if it doesn't sell I'll do a few minor things to keep me happy for another 6 - 12months, I guess.

Depends how much you want for it, and what spare shit/stuff that hasn't been fitted comes with it

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
