I'm interested in lowering my 2004 RX330. Anyone have any experience with that? What springs did you use?

Anyone have an idea for a source?

Like the title says I want the drivers seat from a RIGHT hand drive for an RX330. Color doesn't matter.

Anyone have the TSB number? Or, better yet, can anyone post the TSB?

Would you like to share how you made a hybrid disc

You can go to:

http://www.techinfo.lexus.com/public/main/...s/whatstis.html

Once you subscribe (rates below) you can download the entire manual. It will take all day to do it because it is broken down into many smaller PDFs. There are also other manuals and TSIBs on there as well.

Daily $10.00 US

Monthly $50.00 US

Yearly $350.00 US

I got a few rock chips in the hood. The kicker is that I bought 3M Clear Guard to prevent them and I got the chips the day before it arrived.

Is the ignition on?

i dont get it when it comes to these dvds.

why update if we still get that old interface (brown background) and same resolution. all you get are newer roads and the updates for POI's. nothing else really changes. i guess if you always traveled using the navs...

Why buy the Nav then? I travel a lot and I paid a good amount to have the NAV. I use it all the time and to me its worth it to have up to date roads and POIs. Most importantly its worth it to me to speed $300 buck to shut my mother-in-law up who thinks she knows everything. She told me to go one way and the Nav picked another. The Nav picked the route with no traffic and got me there at least 20 minutes early. She didn't say a word in that 20 minutes. Thats priceless.

I have noticed over the past few weeks an annoying problem, I will be joining a freeway or have diving in town traffic, I go to accelerate and the car seems to lose powerand pings very loudly for maybe 10-15 seconds, then pulls away.

I use premium gas so cant understand what could be causing it.

My car has 48000 on the clock and been regularly serviced at Lexus.

I had the worst occasion yesterday when after driving 50 miles down the freeway ata steady 65-70mph, I turned off down the ramp and stoped at the lights, went to turn and the engine rattled like no tomorrow.

I intend to take it to Lexus today to get their opinion, but as the mileage is so near to 50000 my guess is they wont be interested.

The Lexus Powertrain Warranty lasts 72 months or 70,000 miles. This would cover the pinging. Take it in and get it fixed.

Make sure the pressure is equal in all 4 tires. If you still have problems take it to the dealer and get it fixed under waranty.

or you can get them for free here: http://www.bedlib.org/ebsco.html

click on the green picture that says auto repair and find your car.

Very nice. I'm going to use this site to get TSIBs from now on; however, the techinfo.lexus sight is the only place I know of to get the shop manuals.

You're right, that was rude. I was grumpy after a long day a work.

I apologize.

Haven't done much reading here have you?

You can get all TSIBs, shop manuals as well as other references from the Lexus/Toyota Technical Information System.

http://www.techinfo.lexus.com/

It is not free though, subscription access to TIS is offered in daily, monthly, or yearly intervals following the rate schedule noted below.

Daily $10.00 US

Monthly $50.00 US

Yearly $350.00 US

So for $10.00 you can spend a few hours downloading all the TSIBs for you car. If you are really ambitious you can spend a whole day downloading your shop manual in small chunks. The information you get is worth far more than $10.00 and will pay itself off rather quickly.

If they are like the RX330, I took mine off with a hair dryer and tweezers. Just heat up the sticker to soften the adhesive and then use the tweezers to peel a corner back. Then you can grab it with your fingers and peel it all the way off.

It looks like one of the caps that covers the end of the seat rails. Move both seat forward, get in the back seat and see if any of the caps are missing from the seat rails.

Unless there is a newer TSIB it only effects certain 04s prior to a certain VIN number. Check the attachment.

Here is final answer about the real vs fake wood trim in the RX. Its real.

I had a loaner today while mine was getting serviced. The wood trim on the console was chipped down to the REAL wood! Its 1/16th layer of wood and about a 1/16th layer of a clear coating (epoxy, polyurethane or lacquer).

Yep. As RX330driver said, but the only thing I don't like is no radio while in DIAG mode. I don't see much use for it though since you have a rear view mirror.

Added pictures to the first post showing how to get to diagnostics screens.

Yes, if you have a NAV, but you might not get all the codes. I verified this will work with Gen 2 and 3 NAVs. For other generations there may be variations of how to get to this.

There is a TSIB (BR005-04) effecting 2004 RX330's to improve the overall brake pedal feeling during cold starts, the brake booster assembly has been changed. If your VIN number is BEFORE the following VIN numbers then this TSIB appilies to you.

FWD 2T2GA31U#4C015883

4WD 2T2HA31U#4C030481

no you cannot. And dont try, because it will wreck your dvd drive so that nothing will work on it. Somebody correct me if im wrong.

Depends. What year is the GX? If the are the same generation it will work. Then again if they are the same gen. then they are probably the same disk version.

Also, if the GX version is not the same then it will say something to the effect of "incorrect disc" or "ureadable disc". If that happens just pur the original one back in and all is good.

I tried a 4.2 version from a 5th gen RX and that is what happened. I put the original back in and all was good again.

If the discs aren't compatable you will need to buy the upgrade disc. Ver 5.1 is the latest.

Version 5.1 is the latest. It was released this past January
