Welcome to the forums! Did the previous owner do any mods? The quad pipes would indicate as IIRC 460 only came with dual pipes. Although it could be different as you are in AUS. Either way, congrats on the find and I am looking forward to the build.
Thanks mate.
The previous owner put sports mufflers on, I have only had a quick look but I don't think he has change the piping, just put the cans on. I will likely end up doing a full cat-back with middle resonator delete and louder mufflers soon. It has been lowered too. Stock apart from that.

Hey when you swapped out your DRL lights did you get the bulb that kept the same function DRL and HIGH BEAM? Or did you disable your HIGH BEAM to keep the brighter DRLs? If the high beam did get disabled, did something light up indicating on the dash? Please let me know buddy and GodBless!
I just replaced the 12v bulb for the parkers/inner city lights/DRLs or whichever you prefer to call them, with a T10 Wedge LED. You can get bigger and brighter ones than mine that will fit just the same. I replaced the High Beams with a HB3 Ultra White 4000k Halogen. You can Replace the High Beams with a HB3 LED conversion, and replace the Parkers with an LED wedge and still keep all functions. I didnt disable anything and have no errors.

Yes but isn't the DRL daylight running light and the high beam the same exact bulb? I thought the other daylight only comes on when you got the car in Park. I'm tryna change the DRL/highbeam one that's it. From what I've read on here I believe the DRL and highbeam are the same. And the park light which is the other bulb in the housing only comes on when your parked. Correct me if I'm wrong. I screenshot the the thread that has all the bulb kinds. Notice DRL/HIGHBEAM are the same? Both 9005. Just don't want to order the wrong one lol. I'm going for the pure white 6000k all around. Headlights, DRLs, and fogs. Thanks my friend! Post pics up of any new mods done please!
The Parking Light will come on if you just flick your headlights to the first click on the stalk, and it is also on when your headlights are on. If you put the biggest brightest LED you can find in the Parker light and flick your lights on you will have clear white light in the two lenses closest to the grill. That way you can still use the High Beams as normal.
Here is a pic with just the Parkers switched on.

Got you buddy understood now!! Thank you my friend!!! I just changed the brakes on mine today the rear. Oil and filter change. Spark plugs as well. Slapped on some Lexus valve stem caps. Feeling Lexusish Also put on front chrome Lexus mini plate and rear chrome Lexus license plate. They both have glossy black letters on them. Next I'm thinking all black tints and refinishing up those stock 18s get em clean and new again then painting them glossy black with triple clear coat. And I think ima leave it like that.
Just purchased myself a set of AVS window Visors, they seem to be the closest I could find to JDM and are a lot cheaper and easier to get hold of, seem to have some great reviews too.

Those definitely work when you wanna keep the rain out and still crack the window down just a little bit. I have those on my Honda Civic. Post pics up whenever you get around to installing them bro! GodBless!
Great set of cars you had. The ER34 is my dream car! And love the GS.
Thanks, I love the 90's-00's JDM cars. The 34 was a dream, a really well performing vehicle all round. My only drama is that is was quite cramped inside. The GS is a departure from my usual car type, but I love it.
Weathershields arrived today! Had a detail and a few other little bits and pieces planned for the weekend so timing was great. Couldn't wait so I put them on straight after work.
Fit is amazing, great quality visors, and install was super quick and easy with clear instructions.
Gave the old girl a proper was and wax, interior detail, and put my new personalised plates on.
currently shopping around for wheels and a few other little exterior mods. I'm loving this car, had it a month now and still can't wipe the smile off my face!
Congrats. Looking good. I've had mine (450h) for only a little over a month as well, and I'm also still very enamored. I work from home so have to try to come up with excuses to drive places.
Thanks mate. Absolute pleasure to drive, especially being my first luxury car. Still plenty of fun when you give it some stick. I keep finding excuses too.
