jimxms Here's the one I got:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lexus-IS300-2JZ-GE...53e24743f4

Unfortunately all the instructions were for a Supra, so I've taken some pics for the guy - maybe I'll get featured too :p

lol the advert says full clear instructions for the Lexus engine bay as well.

I could do with an earthing kit as I've noticed a drop in voltage when u have everything running and I've got a practically new battery. In the ICE world its known as "the big 3". dont remember what it stands for again but its something thats meant to really help. whats the voltage stabilizer all about tho? I'm defo gonna look into it all further

I don't think a voltage drop is going to be helped by an earthing kit. Either your alternator/battery is up to the job, or it isn't.

Definition: the "Big Three" upgrade means improving the current capacity of three cables: 1) alternator positive to battery positive, 2) battery negative to chassis, and 3) engine ground to chassis.

Battery is a Bosch battery to proper factory spec but I just noticed the voltage drop only the the car is on idle and is everything is running. It doesnt drop very low but just thought that the big three upgrade would help.

I think it's inevitable it'll drop a bit if everything is on. Increasing the size/quality of the cables is only going to help if the cables are the limiting factor. If the limiting factor is the alternator and/or battery, it won't help. I don't know what the issue is in your case, just something to be aware of though.
