Hi, I have read the article about the airbag controller but want to know how low this controller allows you to go. I have JIC coilovers in my 90 Celsior/LS400, this is mainly because I like to ride very very low. I have 18 inch wheels and usually ride around with the rear rims about 1 inch from...

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior/LS400 and am wondering if I can install the 3.769 Torsen LSD. I have no idea what would be invovled, if anyone has any ideas or experience id be stoked to hear what would need to be done. A friend of mine is trying to get rid of a Supra wreck (“A02B” ). I can pick it...

Hi, Ive had a search but cannot find instructions on resetting the ecu via the fuse on a LS400. There are heaps of pictures and instructions for soarers but the fuse box seems alot different. Has anyone got a pic they could post of which fuse/fuses to pull in a 1st gen LS400? Cheers

Hi, I have a 90 Celsior/LS400. It is the second Celsior I have owned and both have had this same issue. Basically the issue is that it idles high, almost like the auto choke is engaged even if the car is hot. For example I can take it on a 2 hour drive so the temperature is up, I will pull into...

Hi, I have finally destroyed my standard exhaust on my 1st gen Celsior from being too low so I am basically forced to setup a new catback :P I have called four different performance/exhaust shops, two of the shops are very familiar with 1UZ setups and have done conversions including custom...

Hi, Just wondering if it is possible to setup a FMU on a 1UZ and if so whether anyone has done it? Would it be worthwhile with headers, catback exhaust setup and a coldair box? Cheers

Hi, I have a 90 Celsior, a mate of mine paints yachts etc for a living, he has offered to prep and paint my car for a good price. I have no idea about paint and am wondering what brand or type of paint I should buy. The car is Forest Green at the moment and im wanting to go for a deep black. I...

Hi, A local performance shop has recommended that I go for a standalone ECU [Link LM5 I beleive], my 1990 Celsior and 1UZ are pretty much stock. Im wondering how much more rwhp I can expect/hope for from only tuning with an aftermarket ECU. The reason im wanting to go to a standalone first is...

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior, just lately it has developed a ticking noise from around the dash, at first i thought it was just a rattle but I have noticed that the ticking noise gets more rapid the faster the car goes, by the time ive got to around 100k the ticks have become unaudible and it is...

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior, it has a slight cold starting issue where i need to give it gas to get it started and it miss's and "splutters" a bit before it starts idling smoothly, this only happens when its cold. At first I thought this was ignition but after reading other posts I thinking it...

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior, I have previously owned a 1991 Celsior and both of these have had some strange idle characteristics. If I drive on the motorway usually between 110-120kph for around 45 minutes then pull off and stop at a set of lights the engine is idling at around and sometimes...

Hi, I have noticed an increasingly large jolt when shifting my 1990 Celsior from park to drive, is this likely to be a gearbox mount? I have also noticed that when the choke is on and I am stationary in drive with the brake applied there is a slight rattle or noise, if I shift into nuetral...

Hi, I have a 1990 Celsior/LS400, im concerned that the transmission fluid may be low. I have read that the correct way to check the transmission fluid is to have the car warm and running, then leave it in drive while someone applys the brake and check the level on the dipstick. Is this...

My 1990 Celsior/LS400 has recently been showing a light on the dash, the light is somewhat intermittent. The light is the shape of a car with lines coming from the rear of the car. Is this some sort of exhaust/cat/emissions warning? Thanks

Hi, I am going to replace the spark plugs and leads on my 1UZ-FE. It has 170K Km's on the clock and is stock apart from an aftermarket airfilter and the CATs being gutted. Should I purchase replacement plugs and leads from Toyota or are there good aftermarket alternatives? I understand...

Hi, I have no experience with Nitrous and am wondering if it would suit my 1990 Celsior. Is anyone running Nitrous on a 1UZ and if so what sort of HP shot can a standard 1UZ and drivetrain handle?

Hi, I have recently purchased my second Celsior. The previous owner has had the honeycomb removed form the cats and left the cat casing intact. Due to this any time I touch the throttle I get a loud horrible tingling resonation that sounds almost like a bad exhaust leak. I live in New...
