I love finding out things about this 400 I didn't know before! I'll pass on the transmission and rev limiter though.... knowing my luck, things will go booom

I have seen the last video and this one too. I have learnt a lot new about my gs300 1998. Such an amazing car i love it. Thanks

Man I love the sound of the 400. My wife's second love is me and coming in a close first is her 2001 Lexus GS300. This weekend we had a problem that has been in the works for 3 years. The low oil pressure light came on about three years ago. My wife was driving it and she told me about it. I quickly discovered that if that light comes on and your low oil pressure truly is low you won't have an engine after a few minutes. So knowing my wife had been driving the thing for a while with that light on I figured it was some kind of short or whatever. Took it to the mechanic. They for some reason couldn't determine why the light would just intermittently light up. This is not the low oil light just to clarify. I thought that if we didn't figure out why that dang light was coming on this thing would turn out bad. Fast forward three years and this past weekend my wife went to start her car and it made a loud clang like the oil in the lower part of the engine was low. BUT the dipstick did not show low oil. Had it towed and the same mechanic that couldn't figure it out last time said it was just the wire going to the oil pressure sensor that was flaking out. So he replaced that and thankfully that clanging did not ruin the engine. It is now running the way it did some time ago and my wife is so happy to have her car back. I'm just going to say that if you haven't done a video on replacing old wiring in the engine throughout it would be a good thing to see. I was changing out the spark plugs some time ago and I broke a bunch of wires and connectors. They just snapped and then I realized that mechanics often break a bunch of things while servicing old cars. Any plug or wire and connecting contact areas are need to be updated if you buy one and like many people that acquire a Lexus think these cars "last forever". The sure has heck don't. If that were true I'd still be driving my 2001 Lexus LS400. But they can run what seems like forever. Man, great channel. Subscribed!

Awesome vid! Been waiting for a new vid! Love your content brotha

Great job bro. I have a 98 gs 400 with 220k and an is300 with 210k. The GS still runs better than most NEW cars! I DID learn some stuff I didn't know about before. Great video!

🙌🏿appreciate it Always learn something new

Saw your other video about hidden features and was about to comment about the transmission line pressure switch but I saw this video pop up and decided to wait and see if you mentioned it in this one haha.

Thanks for posting this. I was able to find the pulley in the trunk for the gas lid. I always wondered if there was a manual way in case the inside button fails. 2001 Gs430.

Dude thanks for the info. This is awesome!!

Great upload I'll try some of these my GS.

My favorite is blacking out the dash at night thru the back trail..

Nice thanks buddy i learned a few things

Keep it up love your channel

I like you channel I learned a lot things about my GS 300

WeatherTech still makes a fitted sun shade for these (made in USA). Best way to keep interior cool.

Hi again, just jumping over from the last one, new to me is the tapping the steering wheel, switching the gear change. What i do to get off the line quicker is to put it in sport mode and turn off the traction control and start in position 1, you have to be quick to change up though, try it.

Hey, I have an Aristo clone 1998 with a single turbo 2JZ-GTE. Love your videos on what I believe is an under-appreciated car.

8:23 if you have the autobahn in your backyard lmao

Thanks for this!

I'm watching both videos today and I was like "I'm pretty sure I didn't have to reach that far there was a dangly latch somewhere", when I watched the first one lol. I miss my GS I kinda want another at some point

hey that emergency gas tank open in the trunk thing works more than once right bc i just tried it to make sure it works and it DOES!!!!

Is there a way to program the door locks. Like to lock when put into gear? Great info.

Thanks I always hated the fact that it doesn't let you start in 1st gear in the manual mode but now I see how I can wish there was a way to start in 1st with the button shift manual mode

Just recently purchased a 2004 GS430, watched the top 10 hidden features, and then went straight to this one. Great upload!! I didn't know about most of these features! Very curious to know, what do those three soft rubber buttons by the dome and reading lights do? I'm yet to figure that out LOL!!

Nice vid. I have a 2005 in white. I'm looking to upgrade there to get modern features like bluetooth and HD Radio. I'd like to replace the whole unit for a better fit. Any thought or probably I might run in to? Also, what are the devices you have there? I see on is a stereo, what's the lower one?

Just asking, ever thought of upgrading the rear view mirror to the 01+ rear view mirror with compass? Tail lights to the 01+? And even the steering wheel to the 01+ GS300? All bolt ons and plug ins. (I did to my 99 GS300, the kouki look). Great vids! 👍

I love your content

Does ur steering wheel go back to the setting u had it at when u turn the car on then move to a comfortable position for u to get in and out the car as u turn it off?

Hi mate, I have a GS300 and wondering if u can completely disable traction control, ,? Just pushing the button by gear lever is ok for straight line skids but when I try to slide sideways it shuts the power down and beeps/warning lights on dash. Any quick fix at all..? I've enjoyed a couple of your tricks, I knew a few but always good to find a new trick. P.S. Mine's a RHD model for South African/Asian/New Zealand market and apart from being mirror image to your LHD one, every trick works the same. Cheers mate..

I'm confused. So for the transmission dial adjustment. Is it as easy as just turning a switch with a flat head or is there any special modifications needed done before turning that dial? You mentioned something about the transmission pan and cleaning the gasket?

I have a 98 GS300 and I learned a few new things. Thank you. I have the taillight warning light activated on my cluster. Just happened but all my rear lights work. How can I get rid of the warning light.

Love vids. I have my 99 lexus gs400 abandond in California (live i mExico) has a Rodmillen Supercharger,Torque converter,Ltuned Exhast and downpide,Tein Coilovers,Dampers,Brembo Brake Kit sitting on 22,s. Cameleon coated tricked with hidden departments and tricks for highspeed chases. Evaded many times successfully. I was a beast in 2000. Cars been sitting for over a year and i need to get it tunes and probly dyno. Im definitly getting the Apex you have but do you recomnd anything else? Like a chip or any other upgrades.

If you turn off VSC while in M-mode, the transmission will be prevented from up shifting

That is what G.S stands for!!.Make sense Lexus G(Got)S(Secrets)..lol great video an great secrets i cant wait to buy me another one 👍👍👍

I love this video although it was more than 10 years ago. The car is sick and bad ass!

How did you get the 2.5gen steering wheel controls on a 2nf gen wheel?

My sc430 transmission that i put in was at 1 and i turned it up to 3. But dyno said big difference.

No one mentioned the escape latch in the trunk! You never know if you need it. It located inside the trunk behind the license plate. You gotta remove the lining to get to it, but is there 👍🏽

Whats the best year lexus gs430?

I'm not sure if the 400's trunk trim is all different but my 430 has a plastic drop in liner that goes into the barrel of the spare tire...

so i have a first gen gs and before when i locked my doors it beeped now it just stopped working but my doors lock any suggestions

beautiful car

Was wondering what type of exhaust you have sounds beastly💪

Good day, dear friend, I bought a Lexus GS 300.1998g a duplicate ignition key. Please tell me how to program the buttons of the Central lock? I thank Zara in advance.

Hi forward momentum I have 2002 Lexus GS 300 but the head lights no turn off en mod automatic you know something about this can you help me ?please

thx for it.

Hahah I thought the fuel door release was a strap to hold things 😂😂

Can you turn off traction control on the gs 300?

I have Gs400 can i upgrade the performance by little modifications which are secret on GS400 ???!

Do the headlights turn off automatically when you have it on low beam or parking lights?

What’s your exhaust setup?

I just bought a 1999 gs 400 and my ac is not coming out cold at all. Any advice?

What is the least expensive fix for the the tilt steering wheel??

Hidden feature #4 is most advisable when the vehicle is brand new. Doing so this late in the vehicle life stage could result in blowing out the seals in the transmission. The adjustment dial is responsible for variations in "line pressure" (if I am remembering correctly), in Europe there are a few instances where people have found their dials set to the third position, for most of us in the states, we get position two and should probably keep the dial set on two unless we want to reseal or rebuild our transmissions. During a conversation with two Lexus Technicians that worked on these vehicles brand new to when they were a few years old, they said I could turn the dial (@170k+ miles) if I wanted to rebuild the transmission after the fact. Needless to say, adjusting the wire going from the gas pedal to the throttle body has cured my need for responsiveness. haha

Also all the windows will continue to go up, as well as down after the car has been turned off. Unless you open the door before they finish cause then they will just stop immediately.

Can anyone explain the power ect button infront of the shifter

what’s your gauge in the corner? Never knew about the trunk release. Thanks

How many miles are on your gs?

I was gonna do the trans mod when I got my car initially but when I dropped the pan I saw the previous owner had it already set on 3 lol. I wish there was a 4th setting kuz I drive the car hard almost everywhere I go lol.

More gs content I can’t wait to get one man

anyone with a 430 know if that transmission dial trick is worth it?

Read about techstream app it app you can check every thing in lexus

Hey bud, it’s me again. You probably don’t remember but I ask you about how I saw a Gs300 I wanted like a week ago? Turns out they sold it. 😭 So I found another one but I’m unsure if it’s a Sport Designed one. There any way to find out by just looking at the car? I know the car is a Mystic Sea Opalescent color. I’m not sure if that helps?

What happens if you set the trans to 1? More smooth??

What are you tire and rim size?

Instead of using the white metal grate just remove that plastic piece with the handle from the spare tire and get the spare wheel carrier (part#51931-24010) to hold down the spare tire and get the tool box (part#75201-30040) Check your local junk yard and im sure you could find both for under $10

You can go in to 1st on manual but you must be in power mode and in 3rd not M for some reason it only goes to 2nd on M. The purpose of the M is to power brake. To save maintenance on the brakes.

3rd gear is so good

What's significance of rev limiter

What about gs 430.. I tried to hit rev limiter but i cant..

Why does my car always start from gear 2 in manual mode?

Did bro really say you could put a body in the trunk?😂😂😂

Did you get your front lip yet ?

Not exactly a feature, but did you know the UZ was one of the few auto engines certified for aviation? Wiki says: " Derivatives FV2400-2TC In 1997, the US Federal Aviation Administration granted production certification for the FV2400-2TC, a twin-turbocharged airplane powerplant based on the UZ series Lexus engine.[9] The 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) FV2400 was developed in partnership with Hamilton Standard, which provided the digital engine-control system.[9] The goal was to produce a four-seat propeller aircraft.[10]

Is your car v6 or 8?

What are you doing that you need to block the windshield that bad? Really I’d like to know, you’re kinda cute...lol. Thanks for the videos, I love my GS, I have a new GS, but still have my 2001. I’ll never get rid of it.

Lol I did the steering wheel angle mod one and now my wheel won't go up or down

Tips for your broken gas door on your gs Tips for how to support the body in the trunk of your gs Tips for how to get poon in your gs Awesome. 👍🏾

My GS300 take long to engage reverse after I start the car, it takes up to 15 minutes before it reverse

Oh your name is Christian? Interesting.

I should’ve bought a gs400 instead of a gs300
