So I have had a lot done since my last update but here is a quick look of something that some of you guys may or may not like lol. I made some of those homedepot side skirts and think they came out good. Might not be everyone's taste though. I also had lowered my car on BC, got new wheels (Rays G Games...old school), installed Megan RCAs, windshield vinyl visor, eyelids.
Upcoming items that has been ordered: LS400 calipers with slotted rotors, tail lights from Japan, blackwood vinyl to do interior wrap of brown wood (Not able to find a blackwood set with the 4 buttons for the center console), Megan front and rear sway bars.
Thinking of ordering the under chassis braces from ultra racing but waiting on the sway bars to see how the car feels. I need 20mm spacers for the rear but waiting to sell my 25mm spacers first. I need a rear bumper lip but undecided what to get as yet. Also, thinking of getting a new trunk without the OEM spoiler. 2jzgte is in the plans this year but may get delayed due to house purchase. The 2jz ge is actually fast enough for me :/ However, I want to hear some blow off lol.
Note: Kind of hard to see the side skirts but I couldn't get a better pic. Ideally I want L Tuned side skirts....but not willing to pay 400+ usd.
Timing belt and now doing crankshaft seal along with cam seals
Started off with a click clack metal slapping noise which goes away after a 15swconds havent started it again but was told timing needs replacing 2003 gs430. Also had a oil leak in cam seal also in spark plug housing. So now im changing all i can. Need any assistance on removing cam seals as well as crankshaft seals.

So I see you started, I have to do the same maintenance on my 99 SC400, it is pretty involved. Good luck on that. I am using this as a guide when I tackle the job in a few weeks, when it warms up a bit. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...tb-removal.pdf
Let me know how you make it and what procedure you use to remove the cams.
Good luck with the project.
@dwcoile that interior combo looks amazing! is that carbon wrap kinda matte finish?
Hey @jeffy
I ordered a small roll and this carbon vinyl and it is considered glossy. I even wrapped my decklid spoiler in the same material. looks good and holding up well .
thanks DC
Finally got around to do the cam seals on my GS400.
Nice. I have to do the same but still a bit nervous about removing the cams.
Quick ?? did you line up and install the service bolt in the EX. cams before or after removing the timing belt?
Please provide feed back, tips on the job when you are completed.
