I have a blk/blk '99 sc400, and I'm not sure I could ever part ways with it........and daily a '05 2uz Tree. I'm a little bit of a fanboy

Which pedel assembly did you use

did u make a dyno video?

is that a 1uz-fe motor?

Good vid, thankyou

god bless these videos exist! I don't even have a gs but maybe I'll do this on my ls430 in the future. Thanks a lot for these high effort videos!

so if I understand you can still use the 2000 GS 400 stock housing but it would be easier to install if you got one that had a bolted carrier style?

LSD should be standard on every car

What fuse/wire did you tap into for the ignition fuse? Is there a wiring diagram that you used? Thanks

Im surprised you did it all so proper but then re used the bearings? You can get away with it for sure but doing all that work then having a noisy diff would be annoying af. Solid video regardless 👍🏽

What GS’s and model years come with the bolted style carrier? Thanks

Man why no just buy diff from aristo and scrue all this work :D we wanna see some video of getting this baby spin

How much did all of this cost you?

Thank you for this video I thew and broke my cover cause I couldn’t get the gasket out😂😂😂😂

This is only for vvti?

I bought an '06 GS430 three years ago after driving my friend's. I found a very clean one (Damn near perfect) with only 52K miles and paid $11,500 for it. Interior was/is also perfect. Love this car!!

Lexus didn’t illuminate the upper section due to when you press the brake it will attract more attention when it’s not already lit. But cool anyway, think I’ll leave mine stock though.

I really like right-hand steering or right-hand steering

If we dont have the post cat o2 sensors anymore, do we have to wire them for the enricher?

Do you need to move the wiring harness like the ls400?

To check the fluid level on this system you have to follow the depressurization sequence of pumping the brakes at least 25 times with the key off. Then you add fluid to the line. If you don't do this first, it will look like the reservoir is low because once the pump turns on and the system pressurizes, fluid is stored inro the accumulator. So if you fill it up with it pressurized and the vehicle sits a little while without turning the ignition on, the system will slowly depressurize and the fluid will move back to the reservoir and leak out around the cap and get all over everything. Brake fluid is extremely corrosive and a great paint remover.

You want to make sure the system is depressurized before loosening any lines. This system stores around 2800 psi of pressurized brake fluid even if it has sat overnight. To depressurize, pump the brakes at least 25 times with the battery disconnected or at least have the ignition switch turned off. I would just disco the battery that way you don't have to worry about the brake lights or shorting something out, etc. Problematic system since the 80s on everything from BMW and Mercedes to Pontiac and Ford. Can't believe manufacturers continued to use this style of braking system into the 2000s. The domestic manufacturers ditched this style back in the early 90s and made the ABS actuator/pump assembly separate from the base power brake system. To rely on an electric pump to develop fluid pressure for power braking instead of a vacuum booster. Not to mention when the pump fails, you lose rear brakes altogether. If the pump has failed, there should be no pressure in the system. Something that you want to do on these Teves type systems is listen to how often the pump has to turn on. It should only run every 2 or 3 normal stops. ABS stops are different and the pump will run continuously during a panic stop. If you notice the pump turning on every time you press the brake or you see the ABS and brake warning lights staying on for a while after you park it for a short time, then you want to replace the accumulator. The accumulator is around $200 from Toyota, maybe more now, its been a while since I bought one. No bleeding is necessary for this service. But definitely depressurize the system prior to removing it.

Wondering if you have any experience with the ISR Single exit GT Exhaust? Looks like a newer kit, seems good value. Definitely don’t want too loud, any experience? Cheers

Is this the same for the 3uz ? Buddy my ls430 failed :(

No need of beating the tunnel?

Why did you say the stock hp is 240? Its 300 stock. I have a fully customized gs 400. And worked at lexus..

What was the part number for the koyo idler pulley?

I see the LS400 brake upgrade

this i just happened to me !!! i own a 03’ gs300 sport design and the brakes were basically nonexistent .. Brake light, abs and the warning buzzer came on , i hope this video helps me , wish me luck

Great lift. Got rid Quickjack for this.

Can u do a timming video and a crankshaft seal replacement video please?

I’m Finding ppe for 1200 and obx for 1400,what source should I use for obx?

So I have lucked out and scored a working SC400 4.27 diff in my garage. What all do I need to make it work in my 2000 GS400?

Hugely detailed and specific instructions. This video is going to be invaluable.

can we get your contact to talk about sponsorship?

I'm totally against this because don't you need some type of lubricant on your valve seals? Wouldn't that be the main reason they have gone and they're also part of the design

Making an exhaust for chrysler 3.8 after cat with j tube drone.your vide has helped me thanks

This needs to be said.. DO NOT GET A LIGHTWEIGHT FLYWHEEL & AGGRESSIVE CLUTCH IF YOU PLAN ON DAILY DRIVING YOUR CAR.

So i just found an LTuned gs at my local junk yard can i pull the steering ecu would it work i have a 01 gs430 and that one is 02 ltuned i believe

Great vid man! Maybe I missed it but which diff did you get 1.0 or 1.5?

i want to do an LSD on my LS400 i believe this is a great guide even tho it might not be the same or maybe it is idk, i really love and appreciate the effort and detail you put into your videos and breaking everything down, i wish more people actually tough us how to do a job just like you do, cant wait for more content from you

awesome man, keen to see you get started

THIS is the mod I've been waiting for. Going to transform that beauty into a real sport sedan. Nice work! 👍👍

Yessir!!!!

I’ve been needing this video to install my kaaz 2way into the 3.7 of mine!!

Thank you so much I been looking for so long

If possible, could you please expand a bit more on the NVH. Really looking at this for my 03 430 but I’m concerned with how it may feel. I don’t mind a 10% or so increase in vibration.

From what models are the older stubs found?

very sick excited to see part 2 🙏🏿
