Hey guys,

I had plenty of dreams and aspirations, but due to discovering a leak from the head gasket - which was discovered a couple of days after I purchased the car - I don't have the funds to repair/maintain it, also and the CV joints (i think) needing replacement soon,

PLUS! a bodged-up ankle surgery which is currently being disputed, I havent got the funds on hand to repair it. I still drive this as a daily to and from work which is around 10km each way.. and the occasional trip to sydney and back.. and always keeping an eye on the oil/water.

I would love to see it repaired and get it where it should be. Otherwise, I will probably just drive it to the ground.

The interior is mint! for a car that is almost 20 years, the leather and carpet is fantastic. No cracks on dash, and all electrics in dash work too.

$2000

Located in Banks

0432808254

Specs:

1992 Lexus LS400

1UZFE (V8)

Rego til 8/11

150,xxx km

Two-tone silver/grey

Moonroof

Blue leather interior (excellent condition! Currently have seat covers on them to save them as much as I can)

Previous owner had the 100k service done:

Major service performed including 8 Iridium plugs again with the bank loan

Timing belt & Waterpump anyone with experience with a 1uz will tell you this is a kent of a job & well requires a small bank loan lol.

Twin Tig welded 2 1/4 inch exhaust fitted with aftermarket cats, still has 4 mufflers so quiet at idle but opens up nicely under load.

KYB shocks & King Low shocks fitted

NRMA battery the thing could start a truck.

4 BF Goodrich tyres fitted in the last ~1500km

Rear brake pads machined last month

Car has factory climate control aircon (LCD screen running)

6 stacker CD player, factory first aid kit & original Lexus Tool Kit, spare tyre has never been used or the cigarette lighter.

Drivers seat & steering wheel showing signs of age but still better then most imported Celsiors I have seen. Ie the seat is not torn and comes up ok with a bit of leather polish the rest of the interior is mint.

There is also some car park dings on the rear passenger door. I'll post pics asap.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
