    Does anyone know if the L/H drive steering column is the same on a R/H drive '98 LS400 ?..... I'm in R/H drive Australia & looking at purchasing a L/H drive US column... Both the ignition keys are on the R/H side....

    Check VSC & ABS issue

    I'm guessing my '98 LS diff is 4.26 ?... does the Supra Torsen suit that ratio ? Didn't know the GS400 has paddles... man I would love that.. Sounds like you had a good weekend on the track... What class is the LS in ?... have you got an action photo ?

    Check VSC & ABS issue

    A track car ?.... that's different... If you have no instruments then how do you know the ABS doesn't work ? i'm envious about the T2 Torsen diff... I'd love one.. my previous car was a Cressida Grande that had LSD as std and it was so much fun to drive in the wet and on dirt roads... could...

    Fuel & temp gauges not working properly

    Bugger me... got in the car yesterday and everything just worked just fine... it's all come good... so I'm guessing there was a bad earth or dry connection somewhere.... No doubt about it.. the LS400 is the worlds first self repairing car... no need to take it to a dealer... just keep driving it...

    Fuel & temp gauges not working properly

    OK... I'll try to look for a ground issue... Lately, sometimes, the speedo and tacho stop working... then next time I drive they start again... Years ago if I smacked the dash really hard they'd start... not this time... so yeah, I suspect it very well could be a bad connection... however the...

    Fuel & temp gauges not working properly

    My fuel & temp gauges are working but wildly inaccurate... the digital speedo, tacho & digital fuel readout all good... Does anyone know if these can be fixed ?

    Valve clearances

    My '98 has 340.000 and runs beautiful... I doubt the valve clearances have ever been checked.... should I be concerned ?

    Check VSC & ABS issue

    A guy on the clublexus.com said he had exactly the same problem and it turned out to be the neutral safety switch... so i've just purchased a new generic one $40USD inc post to Australia... it's raining at present however tomorrow i'll go out and bridge those UBD pins and see what lights up.
