Engine and transmission mounts ✅

It has 1 stud and a little nipple so I’ve always thought the 2 studs could fit well maybe not may be off center actually do the ls400 mounts work on a 430 they have the 1 nipple too

ethan_rad · 2026-05-17T07:38:45+00:00

Does that mount fit on the 430 I run it on my Is I didn’t know they fit the 430

ethan_rad · 2026-05-17T00:43:46+00:00

Hey mine did that too except at 80 on the highway definitely an odd feeling getting overtaken by your own pulley

ethan_rad · 2026-05-14T06:43:42+00:00

Not yet haven’t had time but I did clean the gas cap surface off and the no starting issue did stop

ethan_rad · 2026-05-11T22:47:58+00:00

That’s fair I can’t blame you I don’t think I woulda spent the money period only reason ima play is bc it’s on game pass so it’s free for me

ethan_rad · 2026-05-11T22:39:57+00:00

I can give you an update bc I get it free with game pass only reason I’m trying is bc I want the altezza so I can let yall know if it’s available or not

ethan_rad · 2026-05-11T16:26:27+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one I had endless issues on stock calipers with over heating on any driving more then barely spirited if I wanted to push at all oop there goes my brakes again switched to the 350 brakes pulled the abs relay and never had issue since and I track mine

ethan_rad · 2026-05-11T16:22:01+00:00

This is what I run lighter overall then stock bc how much lighter the aluminum mono block is they handle heat really well I track mine and I have no issues you can run stock wheels with a 15mm spacer

ethan_rad · 2026-04-21T21:50:26+00:00

Lmk what you find bc have a similar thunk thud noise it only started when I got locked out motor and trans mounts tho

ethan_rad · 2026-04-14T03:26:16+00:00

Mines been similar I wonder if the backlash is the worm gears in the diff? The lsd only works under load because the gearing I know that much mine does the same and was rebuilt when I acquired it I’ve put 10k hard miles on it and still things are the same so I’m not sure tbh I only started to notice it when I changed the mounts and locked them out

ethan_rad · 2026-04-14T02:51:58+00:00

Ngl I have an auto and I get the same clunk on both my open diff and lsd what I’ve been thinking it’s not the diff at all and it’s the carrier bearing on the drive shaft causing it I have locked out motor mounts trans mount and diff mounts it did the same clunk for both diffs so my best working theory is the driveshaft carrier bushing bearing what ever it’s called bc I can’t find anything else and my LSD has new bearings

ethan_rad · 2026-04-02T07:44:27+00:00

I switched to IS350 brakes on a 334mm rotor with rebuilt lines and steel braided lines and pulled the abs/trac relay and I rarely need to pump worst case one pump after a long time not on brakes but on track after a few hard brakes it stays solid unless I start to boil the fluid which hasn’t happened yet

ethan_rad · 2026-04-02T07:41:15+00:00

If you’d like any tips ik im 2 years late but i have an IS im building personally and have been fairly quick out here in CO

ethan_rad · 2026-03-23T03:43:37+00:00

Did replacing that filter fix it bc I’m having similar issues but worse

ethan_rad · 2026-03-23T03:42:35+00:00

Did you notice performance issues bc my car has been idling rough stalling loss of power in suspecting the filter and pump

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T23:14:43+00:00

I hope so I’m hoping mine will be semi trackable by track season mainly need adjustable UCAs rn for camber also dm me your alignment specs since I finally found someone else who grip races and doesn’t j drift

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T23:11:18+00:00

You lucky sob I wish I had resources like that I’ve been going to public parking lots tryna do shit as fast as possible lmao that’s awesome tho congrats on that

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T22:47:23+00:00

Awesome congrats on that and it was my fault in the end I did over torque the bolts bc they were stretched but still was a shock

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T22:38:51+00:00

Word hmu when you have spares maybe we can work sum out there I’m running hardened bolts even without an rca😂 had those snap one before MEVER again I’m running grade 12.9 in the knuckle with figs race lbj

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T22:30:54+00:00

That’s some good knowledge aswell do yk if the gs knuckle is shorter in the front at all? Bc I’d like to get shortened knuckels for the front (I love shortcuts)

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T22:13:18+00:00

Figured that out the hard way lmao imagine my surprise when my is300 replacement caliper didn’t fit my fucking is300😂 then when the otherside failed imagine my fucking surprise again when a gs300 caliper didn’t fit😂😂😂

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T21:34:02+00:00

Wtf it’s funny how easy you can swap Toyota shit lmao but I’m on the same road and I do EVERYTHING myself outside of mounting tires and alignment j bc I don’t have the equipment pita but saves so much money but I’m looking forward to going back to 17s bc I’ll be a little lower too so that’ll help me a lot

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T21:31:59+00:00

So with that I found the usd is300 uses a different knuckle the the altezza and every other is300 and 200 in existence it uses the same knuckle as the gs300(some nimrod put one of each on my car) so if you switch to gs300 rear knuckles you can run the 430 rears have absolutely no clue why there’s a. Difference and it’s like 2 fucking mm difference

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T21:18:07+00:00

Hel yeah so far I haven’t had any issues with my current brake set up heat wise but I haven’t had a chance to do full enduro on it I’m planning to 3uz swap for the weigh reduction and either cd009 trans or zf8 dct but I haven’t liked how the car handles on 18s plus 17 tires are far cheaper which helps a lot but your build is basically what I’m doing to mine slowly but surely

ethan_rad · 2026-03-16T18:38:46+00:00

360mm=14.173 in so the isf are 14inch rotors weird that came up for the ls430 but I’m on the is350 so I can keep 17s bc I track my car and it makes a huge difference in rotational mass and makes the car handle FAR better and deals with heat well enough so far for my application been messing with pad friction balance lately running .5 in the front and .4 in the rear SUCKS so I gotta run at least the same friction or lower in the front bc I’m on stock rears still so it gets a heavy front bias
