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

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
