sakataj replied to hammerdown's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
im 25 and pay about 225 for my 2001 gs430 -
look when i bought my gs430 i only had one key and found sewell Lexus to be the best/cheapest place to buy it! depending on what year gs you have your key will have a transponder in it and just ANY locksmith wont be able to cut it! these are the items in fixing to buy from them and how much im gonna pay for ALL 3 KEYS AND THE WALLET KEY HOLDER I'm getting all 3 keys and their wallet key holder cut for 221 which is less that my dealer wants for just my master key! try their website http://www.lexus-parts.com/default.asp on the homepage they always have some code to put in to get a discount! this is who i got my new nav update from! and since they are a ACTUAL dealership they can cut the key to fit your ignition and mail it to out to you! hope this helps brian Lexus Remote Master Item: 89070-50170-RK Size: In Stock $133.45 Lexus Valet Key Item: 89786-50030-RK Size: In Stock $45.90 Lexus Wallet Key Item: 90999-00173-RK Size: In Stock $32.30 Lexus Wallet Holder Item: 69518-50012 Size: In Stock $9.38 Merchandise Subtotal: $221.03

:whistles: mines not a certified preowned! whats ymmv? lol i dont even wanna tell u how much they just charged my father to pull my old viper alarm/autostart off (i dunno why he took it there but they charged him OVER 400 JUST TO PULL OFF A ALARM so i dunno if they will wave my 50 dollar charge or not)
-
what do u mean sticks? when u change it manually or with the steering wheel controls it doesn't do anything as its stuck in that position or if u mean if u turn it up it just keeps going up cause its stuck?

well im back on the horn again with my dealership (i cannot stress how much i hate my local dealership in Memphis).......i love how Lexus's answer to everything is yeah bring it in and we can take care of it for you! now they telling me as a preset option yes it can be done but I'll be charged at least $50.00 for this........i cant see paying that much for 30 secs of labor and i can only see me driving across town and they not being available to do this!

ok i've talked 2 4 LEXUS DEALERSHIPS 2 including my dealer in town told me this option was/is not avaliable on the 2001 models..........i talked to sewell lexus and they said it is not a option that the 2001 has..........i called carson toyota and they referred me to a local dealer who said it was a option my dealer in memphis said it wasnt a option either OH YEAH AND OUT OF THE 4 OF THEM NONE OF THEM KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT A C-BEST OR A C-BERT SYSTEM said they have never heard of this! someone help me PLEASE............i have a headache!

ok spent about 30 mins on the phone talking with adam at jet technologies 1-323-683-8027 about a supercharger for the gs430! there is FINALLY a forced induction option avaliable for the gs430! its a centrifugal supercharger said it comes with a 8 psi pulley (said a 10 might be standard when it goes into full production) he said its making mid 400 hp (so think like 440-475 hp) anyways he said the msrp is $3000.00 and when they go into production (they are still out about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks on shipping he said) said it may go higher in price when they go into full production but he said anyones welcome to pre-order one for the 3000 which i'll tell u is a hell of a deal for mid 400 hp! (2whitelexus actually owns a jet supercharger for his gs300 so he might be able to answer some ?'s about ease of installation/reliability/etc....hope u dont mind the emails that might start coming at u 2whitelexus) anyways...........he did say NO piggyback unit/extra fuel injectors/intercooler will be added to the kit BUT he did say the plumbing for the intercooler should be VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD.......as far as the injectors and the piggyback i dunno what will have to be done! im gonna email 2whitelexus and ask him what he did and also talk to my personal mechanic and see what he thinks/suggests! OH I ALSO ASKED WHEN THEY GO INTO FULL PRODUCTION IF WE COULD SET UP A GROUP BUY IF THATS POSSIBLE AND HE SAID WHEN THEY GO INTO FULL PRODUCTION WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT SO START ASKING YOUR MODERATORS AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN GET DONE AS A GROUP!hope this helps someone atleast besides me........im incredibly (sp) stoked about the possibility of getting a forced induction motor even though i wanted to turbocharge i think i will settle for a supercharger! hopefully i can find the money and do this!

Highlight Leveler Light Problem?
sakataj replied to daphatchino's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
yeah i have this same problem but no warning light on the dash........i got the right headlight facing up a little! if u get a fix for this please share it with us so we can all fix this! -
thanks for the help but see im saying I DONT wanna get the gs300 and do it i just wanna know if anyone has anything other than a opinion about doing the swap on the 430 chassis
-
ok and back to my original ? any major concerns/problems on doing the swap on that chassis? i know its easily done on the 300 what about the 430?
-
nah im a hideous troll i live under a bridge and club little kids...........i will call them monday thanks
-
ok to address the 1st question........the gs400 might not fit! the gs400 is a 4.0 liter and the gs430 is a 4.3 liter v8! so i might have to modify it! and the gs300 is a complete diffrent ball game that have some limited aftermarket support jet's website doesnt make a kit for the gs430 as far as i could see and thier website says it isnt set up yet every link u click on gives u a error 404 code!
-
the only reason im consdiering it is the aftermarket potential of the supra swap! i know i would be spending money to do the swap to have less power but with simple add ons u can easily abstract more power/potential! i did see a website awhile ago that would build u a custom twin turbo setup and fortify thwe motor but the price was like 42000 and im sorry thats wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much!
-
ok my 1st major ? is does ANYONE make a bolt on supercharger/turbocharger kit for the gs430? i did some reseacrh and only seen one with a turbo and its cause the guy worked for xs engineering! http://www.superstreetonline.com/featuredv..._430/index.html does trd not make a supercharger kit? ok and here's where itsw gonna get hairy with some people! i LOVE the torque/sound of the v8 but has anyone ever heard of doing the supra swap into the v8 chassis? so much more aftermarket support for the supra motor and i knwo u can do it easily on the 300 but any major concerns/problems with doing it on the 430?
