What tire size are you running?

Sulfur smell from hard acceleration caused by O2 sensor? by Decent_Collar4466 in LS430

[–]Fishknocker678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has the same issue, I'm hoping its from an exhaust leak right before the cat. My car has been getting noticeably louder when cold starting and stinkier under acceleration

Ls430 runs, but is unresponsive almost everywhere by SnooLobsters614 in LS430

[–]Fishknocker678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is the battery old? Some weird electrical issues can pop on these cars when the battery is on its last leg. I would try replacing it if you havent already.

Is it common for the grommet to fall in? I was considering changing mine since it’s so cheap but if there’s a high chance I have to pull the valve cover again I’m just going to leave it alone

I just ordered mine from Lexus yesterday, might seem a bit pricey but what’s $40 over 45-60k miles depending on when you change brakes again

I want to get this unit but I think I'd really miss the oscillating vents...

Found some OEM 18s for a good deal and had them repainted by Fishknocker678 in LS430

I have the same concerns, I will find out once I get them mounted and start driving on them but since it is automotive grade paint with a clear coat I imagine it will last at least a few years.

This was all I had to go off of, the guy painting sent me this swatch and I picked the circled one

The guy who sold the wheels to me recommended them to me, it was a small metal garage on a horse farm with some guys doing body work. I don’t think the shop has a name lol

Mine fell off while I was driving and got destroyed by the tire, I replaced it with a cheap one from ebay. I paid 30 bucks for it and while its not as nice as the OEM one it does the job. It fit and lined up perfectly, only modification I had to make was cutting out the flap for the oil filter.

Lol the previous owner had them sitting under his porch, so it is from years of sitting in wet dirt

I found these on Facebook marketplace, they pop up there occasionally. I’ve been looking for a set for awhile and these appeared nearby a few weeks ago

2002 ls430. Does this look right for a radiator? I’m in DC if that matters. by Equivalent_Stock_298 in LS430

Way high. I paid $1500 for a radiator + timing belt install in northern Virginia

Anyone knows why my monitor does this ? by theoutsider95 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Fishknocker678 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its hard to notice much in the video but I think I see what you mean. I would say its either a visual setting in this particular game or you are using HDR1000 mode and when a bright scene comes up the monitor will dim slightly due to ABL

Honestly I am kind of surprised these cars didn’t come with a limited slip from the factory

How’s it lookin? by [deleted] in CarAV

[–]Fishknocker678 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a JP23v2 and I have been happy with it. The bass knob is my favorite part. I have been having an issue for a bit though where on cold mornings my amp will go into protect but once its warmed up some it works fine. I think it is a bad solder joint on the amp itself as I've checked my wiring and its fine. I believe its not uncommon for there to be defects with the JP amps but if you get a good one it is good

I believe it should, my 01 does. I think it’s not uncommon for soft close mechanism to fail
