Recently I also found another problem...

That's the fuel cap. When I tightened up the fuel cap on my GSF, I used to get 1-click. But, now I cannot get that click anymore no matter how hard I try...

I also wonder why my Nissans can get as many clicks as I like but for GSF I only can get 1 click... (Again, no matter how hard I try)

My GSF is CPO and still has 1.5 year warranty...(4 year factory warranty + 2 year CPO warranty)

So, I still can bring my GSF to a Lexus deal for this issue.

I also checked the price for a new fuel cap. It's very cheap...

(as cheap as Toyota's)

This is for a new Q50's fuel cap... It's a little more expensive... (I'm not surprised as I already knew Nissan parts could be more expensive)

Q50 Fuel Cap

Actually the OEM AVS adjustable dampers(Sachs) for my GSF is much cheaper than the OEM Tokico dampers for my wife's M35X...

Of course, GSF's OEM dampers are WAY WAY WAY better than M35X's OEM dampers!!! But, M35X's dampers could be more reliable... (Not sure? Time will tell...

)

I just checked the Lexus user manual for my GSF and confirm the fuel cap is defective.

I will take my GSF to the Lexus dealer to fix the problem. I will also try to get 2021 IS as my loaner(rental) car... (I can't wait to try the latest IS rock

)

Actually the fuel cap is also a very critical part nowadays as car makers try to keep pollution as minimal as possible. A faulty fuel cap could throw codes in car computers...

Not sure why people don't post their experiences for their RCF or LC500 here...

Actually I really have very good fun with my GSF...

On highways when I turn on sport+ mode, my GSF becomes like a superman immediately... Much better than my previous 310hp Nissan. (But, in eco/normal/sport modes my previous Nissan was still more fun thanks to its 5 speed and no overdrive auto)

100-200
GT-R/NSX: 7.x
Panamera Turbo: 8.x
GSF/RCF: 9.x

GSF is just a little slower but its engine sound is like A DREAM and better than those faster cars like GT-R or NSX...

Recently I'm also getting familiar with torque-vectoring differential. It isn't as good as I expected in the beginning because it wasn't designed by that way. But, it's still good if you know how to use it...

(I become more and more like it after knowing how to use it)

Yes. My GSF is a big full size sedan and heavy...

But, I didn't feel excited or more happy when I drove the latest Miata on mountain roads... (Not sure why???) Actually even my GSF's stock suspension is still stiffer than Miata's stock suspension and a stiffer suspension could make a big and heavy car feel smaller and lighter...

I will definitely buy a smaller or lighter car such as Q60 or 400Z with only stock suspension in the future... And, will compare it with my big/heavy GSF with Ohlins DFV 16/12K suspension...

Of course, if I also put a similar suspension like Ohlins DFV on Q60 or 400Z, Q60 or 400Z will definitely feel more nimble...

Today my GSF was almost hit by other cars...

I think the problem could still be on the brake modulation from my GSF. The brake modulation on my GSF is VERY DIFFERENT from my previous Nissan. I think I have to apply a lot of more foot force to really stop my GSF quickly.

Today, the car in front of me made an emergency stop on the highway. As I kept a fairly good distance between the car in front and my GSF. So, I did not have to do any emergency stop. However, suddenly I found that I did not make enough brake force in the beginning. So, I soon had to do an emergency stop!!!

Then, I quickly looked at my rear mirror to check if the car behind me could stop in time. The car was 2021 new Sienna and it stopped without any problem. (A little surprising if you consider how heavy the car is but still thank God, anyway!!!)

However, about 3 seconds later... I heard a loud tire squeal sound from the behind... That's a BMW F30. It steered into the shoulder and tried to avoid the accident. Then, finally it stopped at the left side of my GSF!!! I also found that there was another car behind that BMW which was Model 3. That Tesla also stopped on the shoulder and was behind that BMW.

I think the driver of that brand new Sienna should scare to death... 笑到噴淚

(One from my GSF and another one from the BMW and Model 3... Oops! Sorry!)

This incident also reminds me of my colleague's brand new Camry... (His previous car was an old Accord)

His brand new Camry was hit by an Audi from the back!!! Maybe he just made a similar mistake like what I did today... sorry

I think I still have problems on modulating the brake accurately from my GSF...

Actually that brand new Sienna's brakes were not as powerful as my GSF's, of course.

Why did it stop in time without any issues??? I think the driver from that Sienna sat much higher. So he or she should already see the emergency stop from the car in front of my GSF...

(Now higher rides like Minivan or SUV have some advantages. Remember, NO CAR is perfect!!!)

However, the drivers from that BMW F30 and Model 3 couldn't see the car in front of that Sienna which was my GSF. So, they had to do emergency stops...
