This is my Sc400. I am currently working on piecing together a w58 manual conversion on the v8

They are good cars. Not many major problems with them. My biggest complaint is real quality suspension parts are super exspensive. $4500+ for Arms and such.

I'd trade my car for a nice s14 though. It'd be nice to have a car that had part out the wazoo for 1/3 the cost of SC parts

heres some pictures from my collection

would'nt mind daily driving an na-t sc

hailandkill · 04-20-2010, 12:31 PM

well i found a dude willing to trade me his 92 manual, 200k mile sc300.

says it runs fine, but 200k miles?

i wouldn't mind doing a swap but i want the damn thing to last at least 6 months

ZX88 · 04-20-2010, 12:35 PM

200k is nothing these motors.

SRS BZNS · 04-20-2010, 12:43 PM

yup. V8 or inline six 200K is only half its life

*!Zar!* · 04-20-2010, 12:53 PM

Land yachts.

VROOOM · 04-20-2010, 01:02 PM

i had one, it was a great car. had 175k on it when i sold it and it still ran good.

*exitspeed* · 04-20-2010, 01:04 PM

I do like these cars. They may be heavy, but got damn they are sexy. About 10 years ago I seen a dude with one at the drag strip running like 10's. His plate's said MYDAILY. At the end of the day he put his stock alloys and tires on a drove home.

8Nismo9 · 04-20-2010, 01:08 PM

i have one,doing a clutch job right now.thinking of trading it for a 240 though,something about 240s makes me want to go back haha

Flicktitty · 04-20-2010, 01:09 PM

Car's are fucking awesome.

My girlfriend got one in sept. 09 to replace her 160K mile 91 Hatch as a daily driver. so naturally i have been driving her sc alot since then. Ever since that i have loved these cars always liked them but man, for having 198K miles on it as of today i can't believe how smooth the car is (still on stock suspension) the previous owner of her car has alot of the documents on the car showing it was 50,385 new in 1996. Her car is White/tan auto SC300. the car is pretty "slow" in stock form but they respond very well with mods. the weight is what hurts the performance but makes the car that much nicer. i would love to get a SC300 with a GTE swap and coils/wheels and just drive the wheels off it.

Common issues -
window motors go out pretty often.
Starter's are a PAIN IN THE ASS to replace on a SC400
the serp. belt tensioner on the SC300's go out around 200K miles.
they get pretty poor mileage (20-23mpg) is normal for her driving like a normal person) plus they run on 93 octane.
the hvac lights go out, the radio lights go out as well asthe cluster lights and the gauge needles. uhm the trunk shocks also go out on pretty much EVERY SC out there.

good luck finding an original 5spd SC300 as they only made 3,500?

very nice cars though it would be hard to part with it for another S13.

These cars are heavy, but theres lots of sensible weight reduction mods you can do to get down to about 350Z weight or lighter...

ill try to dig up some pics, it was wayy back in the day during the time when it was hella cool to be ricy..

ugh

Was it a white one? That was most likely Chris (one of the owners of sound performance)

Might have been. It was a long time ago. Does that dude have vanity plates that say something to that extent? I don't remember what it said exactly but it said something about being a daily IIRC.

OBEEWON · 04-20-2010, 01:23 PM

SC's the next S14??

Found mine OEM 5-spd 54k miles. I got lucky.

Don't do it. You will regret.

Club Lexus is pretty lame. I get flamed for having wheels that fit and having my car too low.

*!Zar!* · 04-20-2010, 01:27 PM

I have one. It is an original 5spd. The control arm bushings are shot (common), same with the gauge needles.

Stupid toyota decided to make the needles the bulb, so you can't just toss new bulbs in and bet on your way.

There is a dude who does needles and wants like $100. You could get the JDM Soarer digital cluster, and it wil works except the fuel level won't work since the jdm cars use a different method to measure fuel compared to ours.

A bunch of parts cross over from the Supra, so you can get the same parts for a lot less since there isn't any luxury bullshit markup.

Thats just cause you havent been on there long enough.

After 5 years or so they accept you. I never get flamed there

I got a clublexus account to research SC's after I read about this baby in Modified:

I never got flamed on ClubLexus. Just don't go over there acting like an ass. Zilvia is waaaay rougher...

It's less about acceptance and more about being scared of things that are different.

They see stretched tires and camber and they start having hot flashes.

1. Most of the threads are stupid.

2 .You can find about 0 tech on there. I go to the Aussie Soarer forums more.

3. Everyones car looks the same.

That ILL risky dude has been on there forever and they flame the hell out of him for his wing, kit, and drifting.

The ones that are cool are former 240 owners lol. Go figure.

Lol... Yeah... they're alot like Z32 owners. Unless you're this guy, they do kinda look at you sideways:

OBEEWON · 04-20-2010, 02:19 PM

Yeah, there are on that mans b0lls and he doesn't even own the car anymore.

Z owners are super straight laced too. Take thier cars way serious.

*!Zar!* · 04-20-2010, 03:07 PM

I post on CL on occasion.

You can't really get flamed if you have a good argument.

A lot of dumb people on there though; much like any forum.

Ill take both Z owners, and the douchey CL people, and raise you Rx7club... jesus christ...

CL is a terrible forum for info, 90% of them are douchey IS guys (sorry if anyone here is a douchey IS guy). You are right though, the chill guys on the forum are mainly ex 240 guys.

More proof that Zilvia is where it's at. I've said it for years that Zilvia has one is the best communities on the net.

*!Zar!* · 04-20-2010, 03:54 PM

If you all think Club Lexus is bad, My.is is multitudes worse.

17s look ridiculous on SC... as in bad... 18s at least, you can get away with ridiculous sized wheels with SC's. Super VIP status...
