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.

      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?

      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.

      They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
