Did you fix the camber?? How did it go?? Any pics?? How much did you spend and where u get parts?
-
Has anyone on this forum bought parts from you?? I desperately need a camber kit, but how long would it take to ship from Germany? Any other places to get rear camber kits for 93-95 gs300??? :cries:
-
Did you install a camber kit?? I've got Tanabe DF springs and the camber i terrible!!! the kits are like 400 on ebay!!
-
There is a short in the trunk on the left side's wiring that is well documented but probably fixed by now.
Can you point me to the documentation for this short?? I think i have it....
Thx!!

I bought my 2005 used just coming off lease. I have all the original documentation but nowhere listed is the SEC code.
I am trying to save myself a trip to my local dealer $$$ if possible.
Is there any way to retrieve the code before I replace the battery ?
If so , how would I do that >???
Any comments are welcomed .....

do you have a 95? or a 2005??
1995 Gs300 does not have a theft protection code.

sidenote: all of this started after the front left lower ball joint went out and was replaced.
What noise did it make when ball joint went out?? was it a pop when turning?
-
Replace it all, with factory lexus parts.
i replaced stock suspension with Tanabe lowering DF springs and tokico struts.
2yrs later...
My gs keeps making a loud "pop" noise
Is it possible for the struts to wear out quicker with lowering springs?

I went with a Competition Kicker C10" sub, fit perfectly, just had to cut the bracket few mm for sub edge!
Sounds AMAZING!!! If anyone needs advice, lemme know.
Thanks!! :D

I'm looking for a bigger or nicer sub, would a JL 8inch W7 be too much for the support structure of the trunk?
I already have a 300w amp installed for sub.
Do i need to be concerned about the travel distance of the sub hitting the grill? <_<

where is the drain tube? do i have to remove bumper?

I can't tell what that is from the picture (kind of foggy), but your setup is a little different than the LX450. There's nothing in that area on mine. There are a couple of things that connect up to the throttle body on mine (just not in this spot), that are about the size and shape of what you're showing. One is the Throttle position sensor, the other is the Idle Air Control valve. Obviously both could impact issues that result in the problems you've described. Both of these bolt to the throttle body, and have a wiring harness that clip into them. I don't think something like this could just "pop off", but look around some more and see it there's an empty wiring harness dangling from somewhere.
I think some neighbourhood kids who broke into my car might have messed with it. But ya there isnt any extra wiring harnesses dangling! I'm going to have to take it to the shop, it gets like 5mpg. I even pulled the o2 sensors to make it run lean!! IT's loud as a harley now! lol
any ideas on how to make it run lean till i have money for mechanic?

I love em!! def worth the money, i've got slotted and drilled.
they were easy to install and have not noticed any increase wear to my brake pads. :D
-
Era57, you might want to test your alternator, it could be an electrical issue since the car drives for 50 miles then dies, maybe its only charging battery sometimes?? just a guess!!lol
-
Suspects are most likely; pumppressure, f-filter, stuck injector, sparks (perhaps a loose cap). All this should be checked by the dealer/shop in the first place. Although there are mixed feeling about additives, you might try an injectorcleaner.
My GS is running super rich and acting wierd, how do you check for a stuck injector?? :(
-
Hmm, there is not any white smoke? You're prob right it is a fuel/ air problem, I took a pic of the top of the throttle body, it looks like something is missing?

My GS300 is doing the same idle-almost choke-out at stop lights. Only after it warms up? I heard it was because I was using 5w-30, i switched to thicker oil but still same bad idle?
2JZGE
225000 miles
Just replaced lotta gaskets
Symptoms:
Very bad gas mileage!!
loss of power, like tough going up hills
rough idle after warming up for 5 min
How much is a fair price in NC to tear it down and see what it is? 600?
Any info Appreciated!! ;)

I assume there are no Camber kits that exist for 93-97 :o
-
I got my car back from the shop (they just replaced all the seals and powder coated my grill) and now it has much less freeplay in the steering wheel. I was wondering is there a simple way to make the steering wheel less sensitive?? It's almost like oversteer, but the car is just too sensitive, esp at higher speeds........I used to be able to handle it perfectly.
Any info appreciated!!! :D
peace

How much would a fair price be to repair leather on driver's seat??? Anybody know of a good leather repair place near Greensboro/Charlotte North CArolina???

I installed a Tanabe DF springs ( http://thmotorsports.com/tanabe/tanabe_spr...7/i-129225.aspx )
its only like 1.8 inch lower, but i'm wearing through tires pretty quick, cause the inside belts show from bad camber..........My mechanic said that a CAMBER KIT DOES NOT EXIST FOR 93-97 gs????
is this true?? where can i find one or do i have to make a custom???
Any info appreciated!! :P
