TRC & VSC still work with this?!
About how long did this take you? I’m not a pro but have experience. Just curious. Thanks for the video!
Yeah but how did you put it back in
Question, I changed the actuator but my door still doesn’t lock do I have to reset it or something what can do for it to work 🙏🏽 please help me
Good vid pretty simple to understand and even better on the part where u showed the free break sensor fix 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Did the new ECU came with immobilizer option off?
How to you take the door handle off ??
Anyone here know how to fix remote for locking unlocking doors??? I bought an LS430 and the previous owner said that the remotes wouldnt work after they put a new car battery in....
I had to pull this out of the fuel tank to clean the fuel sensor ( which actually now works!! ). I live in Australia and just bought a 2005 ls430, unfortunately the previous owners were not very honest with regarding a few things including the fuel gauge.... Anyhoo, when I took the back seat out, there is a steel frame with mechanical parts directly under the seat, bolted to the seat frame thingy. Took me 2.5 hours to do the job. But none of the videos I have watched have this steel frame under the seat??
Fantastic. Very easy step by step video to follow. Thankyou very much
Similar removal for next gen ls?
How much power add top when you add supercharger total power ? Dis is very interesting please.thanks ??
I have a tom's edition supercharged celsior showing up from Japan next week with 79,000km SO STOKED!!!
I would put some sort of open air cone type air filters on it so you can really hear the supercharger whine!
Unplug the battery first?
Thank you very much for this well made video. It saves us money and gives us a sense of achievement.
Hey how can I buy a motor?
Nice job
did you remove the Halfmoons?
Thanks. Really helpful in replacing my radiator.
Good video. Mine is 05 LS430. I love it
I know my N/A 430 could beat this
Have you installed apple car playin your LS430? I have a2005 LS430.
part number ????
6 years ago 2018, it had seen better days. I’d go for Cleib or Fujitsubo Legalis or Power Getter. Do you still have the Spoon street May 2024?
Nice video. I got to replacing my old cracked, worn out bushings last year. Before my ride quality and handling really sucked. I got turned on to putting the rc f lower control arm bushings on my ls430. Man these bushings changed my life. Handling is 10x better now with more connected to the road feeling.
All you had to do was spend 5 minutes putting in the new motor in the old assembly. You had to pull the old one out. I did it and saved 200 bucks. Watched a video and did it without difficulty.
Change Tim and Bill licious LS 430
when you put it back on do you put the door handle cover before or after you attach the door panel back on?
DO NOT USE THE HUB PULLER LIKE THAT! You must remove the parking brake. The tool needs to rest on the outer part of the hub and exert force on that instead of the parking brake. If you let it rest on the parking brake the brake dust shield will bend!
which part of the video was that? I have my car ready to press the old bearings out and the new ones in but I’m having a hard time finding any videos on how to properly use the wheel bearing tool sets. I just want to make sure I’m doing the job right and efficiently
Anybody know where to get the clips?
Does the wheel bearing press kit work for the front as well so we don’t have to use a shop press?
Really appreciate your knowledge and sharing Anthony, thanks for all you do. Aloha Artemaus.
do you need a torque wrench
Acceleration is almost same as stock ls430
What spark plugs did you buy from eBay so we know not to buy it
I cringed watching you change good pads just to damage your rotors by prying the calipers lol should’ve waited for the pads to go out and changed rotors and pads at the same time. This is why the right tools are always essential
Where did you get them
was your car making a humming noise going above 45mph? thats what mine is doing and im pretty sure this is what i need??
So thankful to have found this video. Although I'm here to resolve a jammed moon roof on my sedan, this video will resolve the issue with my coupe! No more helping the sunroof open. Thank you!
Is it still running?
EU MESMO FAREI A DESMONTAGEM .
@mwv1_2_3 happened to my Ls430 rough idle changing my spark plugs first
About to possibly pull the trigger on buying one, know a decent amount about cars but not much about Lexus other than luxury reliable rebadged Toyota. Do the bearings need to be pressed beforehand or no?
This guy is delusional thinking the spark plugs are different. Hope he didn't do a ebay claim against the seller.
hello ant like your vidz
Thanks
With my bad speakers ot sounds like an f1 v8 lol
I can't thank you enough I watched both of your actuator video and then the motor of the actuator I just had struts put on my beautiful LS430 and I asked him to give me an estimate it was $1,240 I spent $6 on the motor granted it took me almost 2 hours ..couple torx screws stripped, but I vicegripped them..all good. Thanks a million
Thanks for the video, but to be pedantic, Toyota branded pads aren’t the only quality pads on the market…
