Hi all, The manual is up and running, but now i'm having a bit of trouble with the speedo. The original never worked and was going to be absurdly expensive to replace and adapt to the manual gearbox, so I purchased a VDO 100mm speedo. The T5 came out of a 2004 BA Falcon so the transducer hole...

Well, that T5 assembly for the 1UZ i bought off ebay a while back is finally in, and she works! It's been off the road for about 9 months during the conversion, and i have encountered numerous problems and expenses along the way, but since i took her for a spin round the block thismorning... Let...

Hi guys, i'm progressing slowly with my manual conversion into my LS, but i've hit a bit of a hitch when it comes to setting up the speedo. The stock speedo never worked properly and was going to cost me far too much to diagnose and repair, so i've decided to go with a separate unit and...

Okay so, my conversion is coming along pretty well, having trouble sourcing a clutch though. The gearbox is the T5 from the 2004 XR6 Ford Falcon, but the custom flywheel and pressure plate only allow for a 9.5" clutch (242mm outer diameter) and the stock Falcon one is a 10". So, does anyone...

Ok so i have my T5 with custom bellhousing, custom flywheel and pressure plate and so on. All that's left for me to figure out is what handbrake to use, what pedal / clutch cylinder combo to use and what clutch to use. For the clutch, pedals and cylinders, I was thinking of just sourcing all...

Sup gang, Looking at buying that kit for the manual conversion, and was wondering where the shifter on the T5 would sit in the LS. That aside, if everyone could throw ideas at me about this conversion that's be swell, as most of the threads seem to relevant either to the Soarer or othe Toyota...

Hi guys, Well i've owned my LS400 for nearly 2 years now and i must say it's easily the best car i've ever driven. It's an excellent weekender or unbelievable comfy commuter and a true privilege to own. However as a Uni student looking at purchasing my first home, i need more cash for the 20%...

Ok i've searched but struggled to find anything with regards to this rather odd problem i'm having. A few weeks ago, the battery light came on. Not knowing all that well what it meant, i drove around like this for 2-3 weeks without any problems. Then out of the blue, the TRC, airbag and pretty...

Hi guys, So i have recently installed an aftermarket antenna because the motor in my old one was completely shot, and am having some trouble figuring out the wiring. The aftermarket on is basic, positive, negative and antenna signal, however the original antenna had what appeared to be its own...

...Is it possible? i'm looking to advance the timing to make the most of 100RON fuel without the incredible expense that comes with a dyno tune or aftermarket / piggyback ECU. Anyone got any backyard ways to notch it up a bit? If not, any ideas as to which would be the cheapest way to go? any...

Hi guys Just pulled the rear swaybar of my 93 Aussie LS, non air suspension, and seriously, i dont think i would notice the difference without it. it's not even 1cm in diameter. Checked the LexLS guide for sway bushings, and the rear bar on that 90 model appears be be nice and fat! Now, my...

Hi, New around here, i'm in oz and have yet to find a scene for LS400s. Anyway i'm taking mine off the road for a bit and was hoping to replace the torque converter during this time. I have no power from takeoff or low rpm, can be a pain in the ass in slip lanes when you need to get in front...
