Thank you!!

This is plenty fast for us. I thought it was impressive personally.

I like both too. I think now a few years later I like the chrome look better personally. The blacked out look is starting to get old in my opinion.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the support!

Great tip!

We don't have that boat anymore. But if I remember correctly I think it was 3 or 4.

@NKPGarage found them. I have 5. 2 on left side and 3 right.

Totally agree. How do you like the SUV? We were thinking of maybe getting the EQS SUV next year and trading this one in. But the trading values on these have plummeted

@@NKPGarage I need a car where I can store a lot of gear (wind surf, model planes...) and the SUV is just that. When warm and at low speed (50 tot 80 km/h) it only uses 16 kwh/100 km which is great. When driving 120 km/h that is another matter. But driving is great, almost no external sound. When I call my wife from the car she never believes I am driving.

Glad it was helpful!

It has all of that preprogramed into the software.

i heard some other people ran into that problem too. Have you made sure you are on the latest software update for the unit?

@ I tryed but it had a 4 digit password I couldn’t get pass.. I try 1234 n 0000

@@ti8321 do you know where the previous owner bought it from? I bet there is a software update available if you can find out

@@NKPGarage yeh I ask him and he say he never did set a password. He say he bought the unit from china

No, unfortunately that doesn't work with the apple maps since its not integrated into the factory system. The HUD navigation still works if you use hte factory navigation, but not with the Carplay.

Oh, interesting. I have to go try that!

​@@NKPGarage You're probably not allowed to enter, just like me

You got it!

I would remove the throttle body to clean it all while it is off of the engine assembly. That way you don’t risk getting g cleaning fluid or any sediment into the intake manifold during cleaning.

Correct, no sanding or polishing between coats!

I like to use white lithium grease

Yes!! 👍

you have a good point ;)

Yup. I was able to

Ya. I agree. It’s the entire industry. Our Mercedes has the same type of plastic emblem. I think it’s mostly the manufacturers trying to hide the sensors for the cruise control and self driving systems behind emblems. It definitely doesn’t look as nice as a chrome emblem.

Here’s the update I posted on the forum. I hope it’s helpful. A quick update on MPG, drivability, and overall view of the OTT ECU tune that Lonestar Yota Tuning applied in this first round of modification. * Power increase in the lower and mid RPM ranges are noticeable both when driving around town normally, and also when towing our boat. * I really like the more aggressive shift pattern. It feels like this is how it should have come from the factory. One of my biggest complaints on the 2016-2021 LC200 / LX570 has always been how sluggish it feels, much more sluggish than the 2008-2015. With this tune and new shifting it feels great. Always seems to be in the appropriate gear during city driving around town, and no longer "hunts" for a gear when towing or on the highway at cruising speeds. * MPG - This was interesting. The first several days I was convinced I was getting way worse gas mileage. It was about 1 - 1.5 MPG less than before over the first week full week of driving. Same usual driving I do which is about 60% city and 40% highway. I was ready for a tank of gas, so like usual I reset my MPG to let it start measuring again from scratch. At the end of week 2 I am about 0.7 MPG better than before the tune. I think the first week I was just pedal-happy and playing with the power band to get a feel for where the noticeable increases were. Once that new-tune-fun wore off and I got back to normal driving, my MPG is actually slightly better than before the tune. During towing our big ol' boat the MPG still seems to be about the same as before the tune. * Some people say idle is better, but I honestly notice no difference. The idle before and after the tune is identical on my LX570. * During the flash it seems that my setting to automatically apply the e-brake when in P has been disabled. I have to play with the settings to remember where that setting was to re-enable it. * ECO mode still works the same as before, decreasing throttle response and forcing you to drive more economically. * Normal mode now acts closer to what Sport+ mode used to be. But not quite. Just feels like it should have come from the factory this way. * Sport+ mode seems to be similar aggressive shifting as before. I never really used Sport+ mode much, other than to just play with a couple of times. So I'm not sure if the tune actually effects Sport+ shifting or not. To me it seems the same as before. Would I recommend the tune now that I've had it for a couple of weeks? Ya, i think so. I think it's worth the $450 or so that Lonestar Yota Tuning charges for the OTT tune.

@NKPGarage Thank you for posting what you wrote on the forum. Are you on IH8MUD?

@global_east yup, I post about this stuff on Ih8mud as well. Same name as here NKP Garage

When you replaced the two rear sensors did you out the sensor position close to where it was before with the old sensors?

@ yes i put it where it was but by example if the car it was on high position and I want to put it in normal position or low it does not working. It’s still on high position.

@ and on the scanner, I don’t have any trouble code but I can get it down with active test, not with the switch with the switch, it going up but did not going down

👍

Yup. Going to lap each valve and then start working on cam clearances. Hopefully I don’t have to grind any of the valve stems and can just adjust with the shims.

Pretty much! Just gotta get it back in the truck. 😅

Yup. Done that before and they turn out usable. I just felt like that would be a shame to put back in this head 😁 with everything being so new-ish

code 42 is for the air inlet servo motor, 43 is for the air outlet servo motor. Have you tried checking the air damper right over the filter to make sure it is still functioning and not broken. It is a common broken piece on pretty much every toyota and lexus that sometimes will happen when technicians or people that don't know the process try to replace the cabin air filter. I have a video on that here, take a look: ua-cam.com/video/sf2TPYi5NO8/v-deo.html

@NKPGarage holy crap i just changed the cabin air filter and it stopped working right after that

@el_patron7455 I bet that might be it. Sometimes it is fixable. Sometimes there are broken pieces that need to be fixed. Take a look at how I did mine in that video and then take a look at yours to see how it is

@@NKPGarage do I run s chance of overheating my car by not letting airflow through if I don't fix it right away

@el_patron7455 no, it wont cause any further problems if you let it be for a while.

That code is for either a wiring harness/connector problem, or for a faulty AC Amplifier. 9 times out of 10, if you have not messed with any wiring and it all of a sudden stopped working one day, it is probably in need of a replacement AC Amplifier.

Yes. You can definitely display the data on multiple screens

@NKPGarage thx

I think it depends on the vehicle. On some vehicles the ABS system has its own separate computer, and on some it is accessible through the Tech2

I have a few older gm vehicles. 2001 & 2002 Tahoe's, and a 2004 S10 Blazer ZR2.

What size did you go with?

275/65r18 it is scrubbing a little in full lock

Yes. You should be able to program a credit card type key for the 2008 GS as well. You have to make sure to get the correct one that matches the signal code on your normal remote key fob since there are different ones, even though they all look the same

Thanks for the support! It’s so easy to do yourself. Even with a battery that’s slightly different in size.

Nice!

Please confirm if you disconnected the battery while the car was still on

Have you tried using the reset procedure in this video first?

A good alignment can fix a lot of the effects after a lift. But at some point you run out of room to adjust with the stock components. I have lost of the work done with a lot of video clips. Going to try and get at least one of them uploaded this weekend.

Thanks for watching! I'm working on the install video now.

I'll keep that in mind for the next time I have to replace a power seat gear! Great tip!

I was trying to order them from a US source, but it looks like there are only a few exhaust valves total in any Toyota parts depot around the US. Today I pulled the trigger and ordered 12 new exhaust valves and 12 new intake valves from Partsouq, so they will be coming from overseas. Gotta wait on them, but now I'll have all new valves and all new springs as well in the head. Worth the little delay.

@NKPGarage good. I think is a better choice. I have ordered oe parts from Japan and they get to las vegas in record time. 2 days is the the fastest I have gotten straight from Japan.

I just checked toyotapartsdeal and they have them there.

That is a common issue. It is important to make sure everything is aligned correctly, after you make any adjustments to the height. Take it in for an alignment and they should be able to correct the steering wheel angle and also verify your toe and caster are set correctly.

I use the Lambs Automotive up in round rock near where I am. But if I have time the best alignment shop in central Texas is Jerry’s Wheel Alignment in Pflugerville.

You can. But it’s not necessary. If your AHC fluid has not been flushed I would recommend doing that. My general rule of thumb on the LX AHC is to flush fluid at 65k miles, 100k miles, 125k miles, and then replace the globes and flush at 150k miles. I did a detailed video of the glove replacement and flushing on my previous LX. Here it is incase you want to see the whole process. ua-cam.com/video/kyhXTL4629M/v-deo.html

@@NKPGarage thanks. I flushed them at 140k when I first got the LX. Now at 160. So I’ll keep to the schedule and do the globes eventually. But rather do this now haha!

@TylerPoppe if the ride feels good you’re probably fine to keep the current globes. The typical sign that the globes have failed is when your ride gets really “bouncy” over bumps, or when you aren’t able to notice a difference anymore between the different comfort/normal/sport settings.

@@NKPGarage hmm copy that. I feel like I could never tell too much of a difference between the modes on my 2013, just barely. Maybe I’ll just do it for peace of mind and a new baseline. Thank you! I need to find a LX in my area to ride in to see if it feels different from mine ha.

Great feedback! I can lap new valves, done it plenty of times on past builds. I started calling around this morning and it looks like nationwide there are only 6x OEM 1FZFE exhaust valves in total available. Any more than that would be special order and wait for an undefined amount of time. Looks like my only other option is aftermarket valves at this time. I wonder how good or bad the aftermarket stock size valves are for the 1FZFE. Would hate to put subpar parts into the head.

@@NKPGarage I would stick to OEM the aftermarket have poor sealing you can get away with reusing the old ones just with the builds we do at the shop we try to stick to replacing valves with new and getting them ceramic coated to prevent buildup

@_JTPR_ that’s good to know. I think I’m going to try some more aggressive cleaning first to see what I can do with them. Worst case I may just need to place an order for new OEM valves, pray, and wait.

Today I pulled the trigger and ordered 12 new exhaust valves and 12 new intake valves from Partsouq, so they will be coming from overseas. Gotta wait on them, but now I'll have all new valves and all new springs as well in the head. Worth the little delay.
