Custom x show car toyota celsior/lexus ls400

1989 ucf11 celsior (so all the electrics you could imagine including heated/massage seats, front and rear electric seats, front and rear climate control + so much more)

151,000 on the clock.

Engine

- 1uzfe 4 litre V8

- Big twin exhaust. twin 5 inch that reduces to 4 then 2.5 no mufflers just a cat. - sound is so nice and crisp. Owned a fair few 1uzfe engines before and the sound on this is right up there with the best.

Bodywork

- The wide, wide bodykit (even custom rear door handles had to be made) is custom and was done by fibrevision in Perth. its a hybrid kit and all custom and very very expensive

- Cherry black/dark purple paint with silver flake painted by Punk

Wheels

- Koenig rims. 18* 11 fronts and 18* 12 rears running stretched tyres - huge dish wheels!

Suspension

- Aftermarket airbag suspension setup with a 10 control switchbox. Height can go up and down with a flick of the switch left/right/up/down/side to side. Has been installed in the factory air struts so looks legal from the outside (this has had a yellow before and passed with the wheels and tint taken off). The rest of the setup is in the boot.

Interior

- aftermarket steering wheel

- air guages mounted in glovebox

- switchbox located in centre console

- Standard tan leather

- Touch screen Dvd player/sub/amp

things need doing:

reverse gear decided to stop working (other gears work fine, worse case youll need new box which are cheap as chips)

bumpers/skirts need touch ups in paint/scratches/small chips.

has about a 10cm crack near the driver side corner lamp

the dvd player works when it wants to. Sometimes turns on, sometimes just goes off depending on the day ( has to be a loose connection)

front leather seats are a bit worn.

Probably has missed out some things, but thats the jist of it.

I guess probably needs another 1-2k to spend on it to get back to its show room condition.

Havent had this long (impulse buy as i have always wanted this car since i first layed my eyes on it) but i figured this could take awhile to sell and i barely have time to use it. The times i have driven it have been amazing, such a nice cruiser which is guaranteed to turn heads. Never been in a car that has had so many peoples faces light up when they see it. Im glad to say i have owned the car and have had my time with it and now its time for the next owner to enjoy it.

BEST OFFER OVER 10,000 GET THIS!!!! huge money spent on this car.

please note

those pictures are when it was in showroom condition!

condition of car is mentioned up above.

Needs some tlc, and tint has been removed. Though it wouldnt take much to get it back in the conditon it was in.

managed to get some rear pictures (not the best quality).

thanks guys, this would have to be one of the most modified toyota celsiors/lexus ls400 in aus, its had alot of money spent on it...so who ever gets this is getting a absolute bargain.

and another gearbox has been sourced, also getting the mechanic to look at the current one since its just reverse not working, either way it will be fixed by next week

cheers.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
