Hey guys,

Unfortunately the time has come to sell my 1992 LS400. sadface.

I had plenty of dreams and aspirations to mod it VIP Style, but due to discovering a leak from the head gasket - which was discovered a couple of days after I purchased the car - and the CV joints (i think) needing replacement soon, PLUS! a bodged-up ankle surgery, 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'm not 100% sure on the extent and exactly the details of the head gasket issue, but having 2 shops look at it, they gave me around $2k - $3k ballpark figure to have it fixed.

The best/cheaper option would be to drop a new 1UZ in there.. or whatevs.

Other than that MAJOR issue, the interior is MINT!

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

$2000

Located in ACT

Specs:

1992 Lexus LS400

Rego til 8/11

150,xxx km

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 ~1800km

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.

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
