r/GS300

Hello everyone. I have a gs300 that i recently bought but the radio does not turn on. I have the premium sound system with the NAV screen. I noticed that the 20amp fuse for the RADIO NO.1 is completely gone. So my question is, is it supposed to be empty or did a previous owner remove it? Could that be what’s causing the problem? I’m not that familiar with this car yet so anything helps.

Thanks!

It's getting exciting receiving updates from SRD regarding the Aristo. I've decided to go all out and have a custom Billet diff installed with the Giken LSD, that changes the ratio to 2.92, 1st through 3rd won't be a constant shitshow of up and down gear action when in traffic and it'll sit very low in the rev range when on a motorway cruise.

FMIC and new fuelling going in, all managed (including the zf8) via a LINKG4x. I'm leaving the stock turbos in situ for now, with a view to going single turbo in the next year or two. I think they'll be doing a dyno run with the Tom's ECU to compare against the Link. Note the really tidy job with the FMIC - the crash bar has been notched to perfection rather than chopping out the bit that matters to accommodate it!

Looking forward to picking it up and seeing just how much this transforms the car 😎

I’m looking to order some new Coilovers (bc racing extreme low) to replace my tein street ones. I want to achieve a pretty decent drop hopefully fender to lip of wheel. I just can not decide on a spring rate to get, I don’t know what’s considered “okay” for a car at that height. Right now I have 14k front and 12k rear selected but before I spend the $1400 I’d like some feed back from someone who runs stiff springs and are decently low.

Just curious on how rare they are. They are factory from Lexus and even have the center caps and everything.

Looking to get into photography with cars. None of these have been edited yet but just curious as to what people think!

Hey guys I recently picked up very mint 03 GS300 seats and tried to install them into my 99 GS 400 but I'm kinda stuck right now. Besides the receiving belt buckles and mounting bracket pins that will need to be trimmed from the GS300, I noticed that there was a third pigtail connector that does not seem to be present in my old GS400 seats. The power seats do not move so I wonder if its due to the missing wiring pigtail or if the fuse is bad since the 400 seat motors were dead. Does anyone know if this can be rewired/bypassed or is the 03 gs 300 seats just not compatible in the 99 400?

For the last 2 years I’ve been finding people LS400 parts trying to help them out. A lot of people don’t have access to these cars in junkyards like I do. These are the cars I’m visiting today and wondered if anyone needs anything. I can ship anywhere in the U.S. not trying to make a ton of money, just cover my cost of the part + shipping. No deposit or anything like that. If I find the part in good condition I’ll let you know and include plenty of pictures and the entire shipping process with tracking number. Even if you don’t see anything on these cars you need, let me know what you do need. Please be specific as far as color and whether it’s a GS300/400/430 part. I’ll keep an eye out in the future.

So I just got my car back only had it for like 3 months now fresh rebuild on the engine and less than 1200 miles on it…. So when I did a second gear pull on the backstreet behind my apartment I barely hit redline (transmission is the a650e) and the engine just cut off on me… crank no start… there was no overheating or any other signs that could cause it to die… I put an obd2 on it twice, the first one said it was the throttle position sensor… replaced it with Lexus replacement but didn’t work… did another obd2 scan… said scanner can’t connect to on board diagnostic, can’t read mileage or vin number… no crank sensor fault no cam sensor fault… replaced them anyway… still crank no start… intermittent spark… should I get a new ecu or take it back to the shop who rebuilt the engine? I’m mechanically inclined but this is beyond me
