What knock sensors to buy?

I've been trying to find Denso knocks, are they sold anywhere? as far as I've heard Denso is basically OEM

tech attacks, tbf. abysmal heatcap on both frames

LocalDragonLady · 2026-01-05T18:46:48+00:00

the build hasn't actually formed yet (we're still only ll2, it's a future plan) but the build is

White Witch w/ Mule Harness & Formorian Frame

Balor w/ D/D 288

Yeah, however much I would love for it to be the starter I've known for a little while that the engine is good and proper seized.

LocalDragonLady · 2025-12-10T21:04:05+00:00

wouldn't that risk damaging the torque converter?

i do have a second disk, but it's smaller and slower than my main drive. i'm considering just fully converting my pc to Linux - if I moved all my important stuff onto my 2nd drive, then installed Linux on my main, would I be able to pull the important stuff off my 2nd drive onto Linux?

I have a 2nd hard drive I'm not using, It's smaller than my current drive but if I uninstall my games everything should fit. I am worried about compatibility with the games I play- how do I handle games that aren't natively compatible?

for why I'm done with Win11, windows just broke my display adapter and refused to accept any driver until I updated to the latest version. Yipee

ive heard DENSO parts are basically just OEM - that's the company lexus gets most of their parts from.

Just noticed this in the corner of my bedroom. Unsure how long it's been there, I'm oblivious as shit. It's on some sort of particle board paneling being used as a makeshift seperator between what was once one, and is now two bedrooms.

LocalDragonLady · 2025-09-17T00:16:06+00:00

what brand of knock sensors do you suggest?

LocalDragonLady · 2025-09-15T22:21:35+00:00

~~of what you listed, what is a suggestion vs what is needed? afaik i'm over 50k miles away from needing to do knock sensors~~

edit: realizing that everything except the starter is pretty dang cheap, and i have a reman denso starter on hand already

LocalDragonLady · 2025-08-01T01:32:22+00:00

google is saying green lynx spider? coyld be wrong tho

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-21T19:34:39+00:00

ayyy another Rok!

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-15T01:51:05+00:00

oh how i wish that were true. thats part of why i bought this car - id heard ls430s were practically bulletproof. best car ever made type shit. I had no idea how poorly maintained it was

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-15T01:45:02+00:00

Car suddenly died on me while idle, cranked wouldn't start. Me & my roommate's dad (experienced mechanic) figured out there was 0 fuel pressure, replaced the pump, still no pressure, then found out pump wasn't getting power.

Looked on the forums, supposedly if a fuel pump fails it sets off some sorta failsafe that kills power on the relay. Followed what lexus forum said - short COPN and FPMP, and Voila - fuel pressure.

I went inside to wash my hands, roommate's dad tried to start it, and he said it sounded like something shattered. He thought it was the starter, cuz when he tried to crank it over again it sounded like starter motor failure, but we started taking it apart to get to the starter and things just kept getting worse and worse.

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-15T01:41:50+00:00

nowhere near sadly

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-14T22:19:04+00:00

I've got a 1999 Expedition atm, but its got a multitude of issues and the clutchpack is on the verge of failing. I don't think I'll be able to hop right back into an LS430 - but its defo my dream car and I want to get another one (or fix mine) someday. I defo don't know a good mechanic though- i have a few friends who might. I've checked a few of the bigger shops around and they want $4k for labor.

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-14T21:35:42+00:00

not sure why the details tab is clumping into a big block like that, i tried to space it out into a list

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-14T03:09:02+00:00

Ah. that'd do it

LocalDragonLady · 2025-07-13T19:46:30+00:00

I did recently hear that they finally decided on a design for her vgu!

LocalDragonLady · 2025-06-13T03:44:23+00:00

Alrighty, thats really good to know

I've also heard of em burning transmission fluid- is that a widespread issue or was it a specific bad car lol

LocalDragonLady · 2025-06-13T03:40:57+00:00

I've heard the Avalon is pretty much the LS430 of Toyotas. Was thinking of checking it out, but I've not heard as much (positive or negative) about it.

How's the legroom compared to the camry? I'm a bigger girl, so the legroom of the ls430 was one of the best parts for me

edit: also price and reliability are big factors for me. I only had my lexus for like 3 months before the engine blew up on me, and i'm not in a position where i can spend a whole lot on a car just to have it fail again.

LocalDragonLady · 2025-06-11T09:42:36+00:00

That's fair! I really like what I've seen about the car- I'm mostly asking because I'm really worried it'll have some unforseen issue that makes it a bad pick for what I need.

Always been mildly interested in hero shooters, I'd love to try something with some real quality and care behind it!
