I thought so - Although the thought of a 4.3 twin turbo Supra sounds quite nice :P

I am totally surprised that there seems to be so little input from GS300 owners - especially in terms of mods and tuning.

Not sure why this is (or seems to be) as the GS is such a great basis for such things without going over the top.

I Just bought a Rev 3 GS430 and finding the same. I am happy with the performance and looks though. I may be looking for a little more noise (although it does seem to growl nicely at 4k revs and above). Maybe some new custom wheels would be nice and a K&N filter. I didnt know the GS had the supra engine I presume that just relates to the GS300 rather than the 430.

It is a 3rd gen model that you have, which as far as I know began in 2005 so you there shouldn't be any reason why there is anything iffy with yours. the model code is UZS190 for the 3rd gen, whereas it was UZS160 for the 2nd gen.

Thanks All - Yes it was bought as an Approved used Lexus so must be 3rd Gen then.

Guys/Gals can you help me out a little Im confused.

The car is a 2005 (05)plate GS 430.

However if I look for parts for it Im sure I need the 2006 parts. The car doesnt look like the 2005 and below model. The rear light cluster is different and the front also.

Is it an early release of the 2006 > model I have so when searching parts I choose 2006 model ?

For clarification my car looks likes :

It doesnt look like :

But both say 2005 ?

Thanks All

Hi All,

I am a new owner of 2005 GS430 and I cant find the SAT Nav DVD. The owners book for the sat nav says it is in the glove box but I cant see it in there.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Ignore me found it - Just wasnt what I was expecting :)

Ok this is not funny..... Picked up the car and its absolutely awesome. Its not funny this car has been hiding from me for so long.

Busy reading the forums on various but it seems not many GS430 owners :( Looks a great community - reminds me of scoobynet some years ago :)

Hi All,

I am soon picking up/sealing a deal on a 2005 GS430. I think it is a 2006 model on a 2005 plate if that's possible. Its rear lights and dash are different from Pics I have seen on the web of pre 2006 models.

Before I sign the deal is there anything I should know of, any common issues etc ? Any search items I can fire in to read up on that you can think of ?

Thanks all and fingers crossed it is not a lemon :)
