Hi Aadil, if the same clocks are used in the IS250 UK model you may be able to fit the complete cluster.
This was done in my Celsior before I purchased it and the mileage was also corrected to match.
Does your cluster show both MPH and KPH? If it does you can buy a a 4 wire convertor.
Hi were can you buy this 4 wire converter.

Ok mate.
Just PM you Steve

What struts you have on there Steve?
Was thinking coilovers would be good not looking to slam, just comfortable ride without troublesome air struts. Do you have FM expander.
-
Ok. You prefer cloth to leather?
JDM prices definitely gone up.
-
That's nice Steve. Does it have rear electric sun shade, rear seat recliner, massage function in the rear centre arm rest. What would something like yours, expect to sell for?
-
I was considering the UCF30 only reason no air struts to worry about. The 31 though comes with all the toys..
As there scarce in the UK for sale I probably have to source from Japan.
what kind of price would I be looking at in the UK. Example 2002+, 100-130km, part service history. Steve have you pics of yours and what model spec is it.

I recently purchased an excellent 2004 model year Celsior from a fellow member which fortunately came with all the usual problems already sorted.
The things to look out for are worn suspension components both front and rear, faulty air suspension which on mine had been replaced with conventional struts, the coolant radiator/ transmission cooler for cross contamination of fluids due to internal leaks ( transmission wrecker if not sorted before it happens). The exhausts are mild steel so back boxes do rot out ( mine has a factory stainless steel system).
Imports generally do not generally suffer from rust and rot like UK models due to a kinder to cars Japanese environment.
Service items like the cam belt, filters and fluids are all the same as UK spec models.
The early pre 2004 models suffered from window fogging due to delamination of the glass.
The later models (2004-on) had a 6 speed sequential transmission.
Does suspension arm, bushes, and air struts share same as LS430? And other engine parts interchangeable with the LS430.
Is the coolant radiator expensive part to replace?
What's best model to go for the 30 or 31

Hello

Hello anyone know if the uzz31 model soarer air bags can be regassed. I'm sure I have read in the past that in can be achieved by fitting a Schrader type valve.
Any information would be kindly appreciated

As a start, you would need to obtain a climate display module from a non EMV UZZ30 or JZZ30 Soarer. I am unsure if the EMV contains discrete leads for climate and stereo and whether it is a straight swap. Many climate displays have poor LCDs given the age. Mine has started to go on my 98 Soarer.
Hello have you done this conversion?
-
Stuck then 😔
-
Hi I should of made it more clear the car in question is a Toyota Soarer not GS430.

Hi I appreciate if anyone knows the torque spec of the valve cover bolts.
Thanks

The 1UZ-FE is over engineered. Lovely engine.

I believe the GS did have complete master cylinder and brake accumulator. Sooner or later it's going to run out of gas. I could get used one but then that might be same issue. Ideally a regass would be best.

The only possible place here in the UK is the Soarer Sancuary if it still exists plus a place in Oz.
If not regassed would it more expensive and a complete failure of the whole unit.
