^ Those are headlight washers. It does exactly what it sounds like. Lol.

Nice pick up, OP. Can't wait to see what you'll be doing to this car.

Welcome to CL!

 

Very nice pickup...

I hope to luck out as well, located in Toronto...and on the hunt for a GS 300 or 430

but so far nothing found here in the GTA

none the less, good luck with the project

 

Those from Ottawa, we have got to meet up some time...

Im up and around the area along with in Toronto at times.

 

Wow, nice pick up, looks like my car's twin, but we pay a lot more out in Alberta.
I like your ideas for this car and may copy some of them, if I ever get some budget.
Hey, I have a Cressi (MX83) too, can you recommend some struts/shocks?
BTW H/L washer switch is lower left on the dash.
Congrats again on the GS.

 

Welcome to the fam. Great looking GS So did it come with any L-tuned options ? Exhaust, suspension ?

 

Thanks for the info

 

well i know L-tuned was sold at the dealer.....then where did L-sportline come from? or who sold that line

 

ottawa guys: I'm on 613Driftwerks. I'm not an M&M or meet guy though. when I meet people it's usually at Shannonville.

toronto guys: I bought this car at Venus Fine Cars in North York. It popped up in the trader for a steal, put a deposit on it asap and got a ride down to drive it home right away.

I looked the whole car over and didn't see anything. unfortunately the rear shocks have been changed to KYB GR2, I wish they were actually oem. the exhaust and springs are definite stock, nothing seems out of the ordinary. The car had a light front colision in 2004 and one headlight is a "green tint" and it's all faded, I also don't think the grille is factory so maybe they had a different grille when it was new. i just got anotehr headlight that's not "green tint" to match the opposite side.

I ended up having to use my R33 GTR wheels for snow rims. the 255/40/17 dunlop winter sport M3 snows were way too wide for the oem wheels, the tire was going to rub on the front upright.

car looks massive with the 255/40/17's on 17x9 +30 all around. needs a 10mm rear spacer and a decent drop asap.

to be honest, i kinda like the wide chunky tire look, with the right wheels and tires it can actually look really decent and probably grip really well and handle daily conditions better like crap construction zones and the nasty rural roads I drive everyday.

I'll have to post pics tomorrow to show you what it looks like. it'll really actually look ok with tanabe springs.

 

Welcome to CL Bill. GS looks clean, nice find!

Brian, I'm a little curious on the details behind L-Sportline too. About all I know is my L-Sportline wheels were made in Japan by Enkei.

 

haha. 17" snows are on. looks kinda funny but it works great.







17x9+30 R33 GTR skyline wheels i had laying around

new dunlop 255/40 wintersport M3 tires.

drives great in the snow. looking forward to using this as my wintercar for years to come.

still needs springs and a little spacer in the rear to look balanced though.

 

Happy with the Tanabe DF210 springs. Really just what I needed for a full versatility daily car.



After a problem with getting my hands on a Blitz throttle controller I decided to try the ARK Design ATCC throttle controller instead. I ordered the 350Z application since the plug should be the same application (Since SC430's use the same pedal assembly as the pre 06 GS430, and the 350Z shares the same application part numbers as the SC430)

We'll see how it goes. Loving the car, taking it on a roadtrip next weekend down to syracuse ny.

 

i am also kyle....always have been. thought someone might chime in here on this...

 

nope. car looks too good already for snow/ice and bad Ottawa roads. plus the car is already heavy enough, I don't need any stick on plastic parts that do nothing but cost me money.

 

Great find! Looks really clean. Best of luck modding it and enjoying it.
