Chuckb that pic is for the 01+ GS430 I belive he has a 00 GS400. They are differnt MAF sensor shapes. Here is a pic of it from the SRT intake manual. as you can se the 430 uses an O-ring type and the 400 has what looks like a rubber or paper gasket.
Give Carson Toyota a call 1-800-908-6968. They came through when I need one for my GS430 Local Lex dealer said that gasket was not available separate and have to buy entire MAF for $185. Carson had it for $2.
I think you can buy some gasket material in a sheet try a speed shop. Or get somgasket sealant .
i gave steve a call and he said they dont make it i will try to be makin one myself.. or having lexus make one for me.. ive been askin for a quote for 4 days and they dont like to call me back.. while of course they charge me $5 a day for rental! thanks again everyone!
Okay... this is not hard at all. I will give you two options:
1) make the dang gasket yourself with some "cut and peal make your own gasket material". This stuff can be found at any auto parts store.
2) seal the dang thing yourself with some RTV (any color will do... black, red, copper...).
This is a 15minute job.
Hell, we can meet up and I will fix it for you for far less then the stealership.
