Cheers mate, I was more used to a horrible screeching noise from the brake pad wear indicators. I’ll probably use the standard pads and discs I’ve got this time around and next time consider a big brake upgrade!

Hey guys Been experiencing some whirring type noise when braking from what I believe is the front brakes, Ive got some new front discs and pads ready to go but before I tackle it I thought I'd get a second opinion incase its something else that could be causing the noise. IMG_5326.MOV

Whats the spec on this? My brother may be after an F Sport if the price is right

The only time aftermarket stuff can throw up an error code is if you upgrade the tail lights with something like a HC motion set of tail lights, usually these require a resistor or something installed alongside it as the pre facelift out of the box cant support upgraded LED tail lights. The VLAND headlights dont suffer from this kind of issue so it's either an incorrect fuse has been pulled or a set of fuse has blown responsible for the three errors you're getting. I do recall getting quite a few dashboard errors when I installed my VLANDS but thats because I pulled the wrong fuse out, once I used the correct ones no errors or dashboard issues

As far as Im aware UK IS250s dont normally support the factory TPMS system, only the IS250C supported the TPMS system so assuming the car is a UK non convertible and hasnt been modified nothing will appear on the dash. These TPMS systems will only work on the android head unit only; so whichever one you get will work as long as the corresponding app is used, if you buy a non teyes TPMS system youll just install the relevant APK to view the TPMS system

Don't have a 2022 NX350h but all the Lexus infotainments have had similar adjustment options, if you go to Sound or DSP type of menu you can adjust the Bass Midrange and Treble as well as changing the sound levels from the speakers as well as enable auto sound leveller (compression) as well as surround sound if you have a Mark Levinson system

From what I can tell mate the Teyes wouldn't bypass the factory amp but tap into it, this is because whenever we access the new head units we have a factory amp settings type app to adjust the OEM settings, so if youre looking to get any Lexus android head unit youll likely need the factory amp, these can be gotten fairly easy from breakers however

Itll generally remain the same except if you have a facelift 2011 onwards car where they change to the modern circular foglight, only thing ive pinched is a rubber right angle for the headlight washer so I could block mine off / delete it but I'm sure the part could be found relatively easy on eBay, aside from that fully stock and it shouldn't be classed as a mod unless the colour is different haha

Similar thing happened to me, swiped rear drive side door with dents and scuffs, my insurers tried to write it off but other parties insurer (Motabiltiy) approached me and advised if I got a repair quote they'd pay me out directly for the cost, they knocked an amount off £3.3k for the estimate but got £2.5k and no write off and did a private repair myself

It is black obsidian mate

Funnily enough I have my 2010 F Sport bumper available as I've just done a 3IS conversion if you were wanting to purchase that. In good condition just the usual age related marks and what not.

Thanks for the suggestion Vlad, I took your suggestion and ended up getting new slide pins, funnily enough they give you the bind bolt also but its a little odd seeing as you cant ordinarily get it out. I neglected to realise that the new rubber seals have to go over the slide bolt calliper lips and if they dont youll just end up seizing the calliper as it cant physically go all the way. This video from Bing a known Lexus 2IS enthusiast / model has an excellent video detailing how to remove and replace the slide pins and gaskets which isnt always obvious so I'd highly recommend it. A handy temperature gun after a brisk drive around showed both left and right rear brake discs were only heating up to 49oC compared to when the calliper was seized was 130oC! I considered changing out the left also but if it isnt broke dont fix it haha, I still may consider the GS front brake upgrade if I can score them at a decent price but I'll use these spare discs and pads for my mums IS250 worst case.

That’s usually my go to grease although I might try replacing the rubber gaskets for the slider pin as they seem like they’ve seen better days

Ah that makes a whole lot of sense to be fair, cheers for clarifying guys, is the majority of braking done by the front brakes or the rear for rear wheel drive cars then? I do have new discs and pads for my front brakes that I haven't got around to doing yet so wondering if its even worth the upgrade for the front...

Interesting I read up that plenty the MK3 GS’s had the same brakes that the IS350 is rocking and is a significant upgrade?
