Ls400 Ucf20 And A Ucf21

[GoldfingerLS]

Does anybody know the difference between a LS400 UCF20 and a UCF21 ? I have seen the series 4 LS400 in the UK as a UCF20 but a lot of the celsiors from Japan are UCF21. Is it just the air suspension or are there other differences ?

If I am not mistaken my understanding is:

LS400 Series 1 - UCF10

LS400 Series 2 - UCF11

LS400 Series 3/4 - UCF20 and UCF21

LS400 Series 1 - UCF30

LS400 Series 2 (from 2004 onwards) - UCF31

Sometimes is just useful to know this information when sourcing parts.

Thanks

Sorry typo, I meant

LS430 Series 1 - UCF30

LS430 Series 2 (from 2004 onwards) - UCF31

Hi,

It's a little confusing as there are 4 model codes and 3 LS generations these are UCF10,UCF20,UCF30 AND UCF40.

The other codes you mention are designated for non USA/Canadian markets and are UCF11,UCF21,UCF31 and UCF41.

I think!!!

Have a look on this link which fully explains the set up

Cheers Steve,

I think your right, this helps to clear it up for me. Different regions probably get a different UCF number depending on the spec for that region. I know for sure that R or L suffix after the UCF code refers to left hand drive or right hand drive (e.g. UCF20R = right hand drive and UCF20L = left hand drive).

Also, I've noticed that according to the Lexus Bahrain and Lexus Arab Emirates website that their version of the latest outgoing (from 2004 onwards) LS430 gets a 332 Hp engine while the UK spec cars 'only' get a 278 hp engine... thats not fair :(

I guess fuel economy isn't a problem in these countries!!! :)

Although there was (is) only one model of LS400 in the UK, in Japan there were several versions of the Celsior with different specifications.

So the first digit is the series -- UCF1* = mark 1, UCF2* = mark 2, etc., and the second digit is the version.

If you want ALL the toys, look for a C spec, F package :)
