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.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
