what do you guys think about a 1996 Sc300 with a 2jzgte swap with 78000 miles for 11 grand...?

or a 1992 sc300 with 138k miles for 3500, but its an auto..

if you can afford the $11k (and I think I know which SC your looking at) take it..

and whats wrong with an auto SC?! I love my auto trans, just cant wait to go 5-speed

Big difference in vehicles.

I'd personally probably go for the swapped one, depending on the condition of each.

what else do you know about the gte SC300? You dont wanna be stuck with someone else's headache, not unless you know the GTE like the back of your hand

i haven't seen it yet, i wanted to get input here before i went in to look at it, it's a private seller and the engine and other parts were installed by snap performance in tx, so i would assume it would have been done properly

i was really wondering if that 11grand price sounded reasonable with being able to get the cheaper sc and pay for the 2jzgte swap myself...

any pics of the '96???

any specs??

You lookin at the white 96 with the black Z wheels? Depending on who does your work you could build it for less than the 11k. However, shop labor and misc parts can get you pretty close to 11k.

Does it have any other mods?

I'm sure you've considered emissions testing if you're considering buying it. OBD2 vehicles (96+) can be a real ***** with swaps.

cino21

yes it's the white one here is the list of information from the seller..

NO JOYRIDES, test drive with money in hand only. Engine/performance: USDM 2jz-gte (swap done by snap performance) Mishimoto Intercooler with 3"piping HKS blow off valve 3" down pipe 3" custom exhaust R154 transmission swap used everything new( other than the tranny itself with the fact that it was in good condition) Spec 3 clutch 1jz stock flywheel Engine Swap (done by snap performance in DALLAS TX): 78,000 US spec longblock US spec 550cc injectors MAF sensor US spec factory Twin Turbos US spec factory Cams Stock turbos setup in TTC mode Brand new Toyota valve seals, no smoke on startup Brand new Toyota Front main seal, rear main seal, cam Brand new Mobil One 10w30 with Toyota oil filter Brand new Toyota Timing belt Brand new NGK 3330 spark plugs and breather hoses, pc valve Brand new Valve cover gaskets Brand new Toyota Thermostat Brand new Toyota upper and lower radiator hoses Brand new EGR block off plates Brand new Snap Performance Fuel Dampner bypass Brand new Walbro 255 Twin Turbo Fuel pump Brand new Battery Additional notes: Eibach pros with KYB shocks 350z rims powder coated black Nitto Nt05 s 245 F and 265 R (only have 1200 miles on them) Alpine-9881 head unit with Remote control and many more stuff to list... As for the interior/exterior of the car it's in great shape, especially for being a 12 year old car. The leather on the car looks great with no tears or rips, it could use a little conditioner to soften it up though. Everything works on the inside of the car as it should, A/C, heat, pw/pl, radio, tilt, power seats. All a/c controls light up with no problems, a few of the instrument cluster bulbs have burnt out which is common on the Lexus SC300 and SC400. It's an easy fix and doesn't effect the visibility of the instrument cluster gauges. Problems: The AC works i have tested it, but there is an air leak in the discharge hose, and i have bought the part, but have not replaced it.The shifter is extended 3" inches.

as far as emissions...yes that is a situation also lol..
a friend of mine who has worked on all of his projects himself, mainly american cars, thinks it'll be better to just rebuild a 2jzge motor and go the na-T route.

^ Yeah, i think that would be the best option. It'll come out to about the same in cost once everythings done
