Just thought I'd drop in and say hi to everybody. New to Lexus but not new to cars. Just purchased a 1992 SC400 with 79K on it. From what I can tell it has all the options including the Nakamichi sound sys and trac control. Pear white with tan interior. Only issue is the remote door opener. When I press the button on the key it locks the door and keeps making a clicking sound that it makes when it locks. If I hit the button on the key it will stop but still stays locked. Any ideas from the experts on what is causing that?

92 with 79k, that's pretty low miles. I wonder if the original timing belt is in that thing? If so, change that out. Your little avatar picture shows a white SC with aftermarket wheels I think. Post some pics when you get some time. Honestly, I don't know jack about the keys and just open and lock the doors the old fashion way.

 

+1 on the timing belt service! What happens when you lock / unlock from the buttons inside the car? Sounds like a bad actuator trying to complete a lock / unlock cycle, need more info.

 

Welcome to Clublexus...Congrats on the low miles SC

Ok, well every new member has to send $5 to every member that comments on their start thread..

 

Nice miles! No pics?

 

You must post pictures of the car inside an out. Just kidding.. Welcome to CL.. Dont know about the clicking sound.. Mine quit on me over a month ago and I cant figure it out either.

 

Thanks guys and I will post some pics in the next day or two. Has some rediculous wheels on it that were put on by the original owner. The are Helo HE888's with new Dunlop 245/35/20's on it. They looked great to the original 55 yr old owner from South Florida but are a little to bling for my taste. Currently looking for wheels in the Clearwater Fl area. The car in my avitar is the actual car. Oh what the heck. I'll go ahead and post a pic now with the bling wheels just incase you know somebody who wants to buy them.

 

OK Here are the new pics now that is has some decent wheels on it. Let me know what you think. Also planning on making some exhause upgrades. Any suggestions?

 

Are those nissan wheels. They look alot better than those 20's. Looks very clean

 

Yes they are 350Z wheels. Just need to replace the Nissan centercaps with some new Lexus caps.

 

Very Clean... Wheel swap was a nice upgrade. Lots of good threads on exhaust system upgrades.

Enjoy the V8!

 

try shooting a little oil on the lock actuator

 

Thanks

Just sold my 600 rwhp Z28 so there was no way I was going down to a 6 for a daily driver.

Will do. Thanks for the suggestion.
