    This was mine post accident, took it to a local body shop and they repaired the wing, bonnet and bumper to such a high standard you cannot tell.

    I have one off a 1998, pm me your details and I will send it to you but going away tomorrow.

    Callipers are 4 pot so no sticking slide pins to worry about, did you clean the hub to disc mating surfaces before fitting the new discs?
  4. steve2006
    Apparently not very good in the wet, tweel fabric is not good for tyres.....rubber is better.
  5. steve2006
    Yes the radio aerial utilises the elements on the heated rear window so no physical rod type one ( plus no broken masts to worry about). The link tells you exactly where to find the radio receiver. The adaptors do work, they shift the FM frequencies by I think 10Khz so bring the band to within UK radio broadcasts, you will also need to find a 12 volt supply and ground point.

    Unless things have change drastically there should be an aerial socket on the radio unless they are now using a remote radio receiver perhaps in the boot area to which the aerials connects then the signal is sent to the head unit. Mine had the same adaptor fitted as yours until I went aftermarket. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-1st-and-2nd-gen-1990-2000/50062-ls430-tuner-location.html

    You would be very lucky to find a good working unit for a 1994.....perhaps fitting an aftermarket stereo with either a single or double din facia adaptor would be a better solution.

    With there being a cam sensor on both cam gears you could measure both to see if they are the same value. If you do have a cam sensor fault it is quite common to find the wiring loom to the passenger side one damaged if it hasn’t been redressed correctly after a belt change....it can get chewed up by the serpentine belt. Not too sure about the later model but earlier versions used a paperclip to read the codes by blinking lights sequences. Also welcome to the LOC.

    I’m still waiting.....around 90,000 now after 25 years.

    Have you checked the spare wheel well for water ingress too?
  12. steve2006
    Yes, I got a “Verbal” for doing the same on mine.
  13. steve2006
    Again for a 2000 year model but it clearly shows that the engine ECU has inputs to the TRAC ECU so if the caps have failed it could affect the TRAC system.
  14. steve2006
    Just reread your first post, had another think about this and would agree that the engine ECU is susceptible to capacitor leakage, this causes many problems. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-1st-and-2nd-gen-1990-2000/656360-all-my-crazy-lexus-issues-solved-ecu-leaking-capacitor.html Have you also checked the wiring and connections from the brake fluid level sensor as the code suggests low fluid when it obviously isn’t? I don’t have the wiring manual for your year but the picture is from my 2000 year book showing the brake fluid level switch and wiring which may be similar.

    I use a very special Lexus paperclip 😀
  16. steve2006
    Hello and welcome to the LOC. Did you use OEM replacements, I think they are normally Denso?
  17. steve2006
    It amazing how Fleabay sellers offer a critical safety component like wheel nuts, give a list of vehicles they fit yet are totally unsuitable for the job ( tapered nuts on wheels designed for flat nuts) Not only could these cause damage to the wheel they could result in the wheel coming off! I bought a set of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_osacat=0&_odkw=M+12+1.5+flat+wheel+nuts+black&_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1311.R1.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xblack+wheel+nut.TRS0&_nkw=black+wheel+nut+covers&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=M+12+1.5+flat+wheel+nuts+black&LH_TitleDesc=0

    I think we can all agree that when Lexus perform a service they don’t seem to cover certain aspects. Take a brake service....Lexus will replace the pads and discs but from previous posts regarding seized callipers we know that they tend not to remove the slide pins, clean them and grease them as part of this service, this is something I do everytime with my own DIY services. The result is you now need new callipers when a dab of grease would probably have saved them.

    Tutorial below. I found a good clean up, brake shoe roughing up with sandpaper and adjustment sorted mine. The brake shoes rarely wear out.
  20. steve2006
    Nice! Are you doing all the importation process yourself or are you using an agent?
  21. steve2006
    Part numbers as listed, both should be available from Lexus dealers. 90179-22022 Nut (For Front Axle Shaft RH) 43514-53010 Cap Front Axle Hub Grease RH. Also welcome to the LOC Kerri 😀

    Sure, First link is for the speedo conversion unit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-300ZX-PULSAR-SKYLINE-SPEEDO-CONVERTER-DELIMITER-SPEEDOMETER-CONVERSION/120446038718?epid=1688208648&hash=item1c0b24b2be:g:dDQAAOxybLpRgKTC Second link is for the radio frequency changer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=radio+frequency+expander&_sacat=0

    Mine is now on 18s ....I have a set of Mitsubishi EVO9 17” wheels and tyres if you are interested.
  24. steve2006
    I changed mine without disconnecting the driveshafts and must have bought the same springs as mine also sits higher than before.
  25. steve2006
    Hello Marin and welcome to the LOC. Have you tried disconnecting the battery for a short while to reset everything and are all your brake pads good? I have also read you can reset the trac by pressing the brake pedal 8 times within 3 seconds! If I find anything else I’ll post it up.
