Hey Guys
I bought my 93 SC400 around 5 years ago. I've never done anything to my white Beauty. starting to get stuff for it, 95-96 tails, front bumper with the grill, i think its hott. and side skirts and everything, thinking of a exhaust system.

Sup fellas? I've been browsing this forum for a while. Finally signed up. I am currently talking to a member on this site about his SC300 for sale. He claims it's running but the trans is uninstalled. I will be hopefully picking it up and doing a 2JZGTE swap because majority of the SC3s are 1JZ swapped, kinda want to change it up a little. I'm awaiting pictures from him and then I'll make up my mind on if I want to make the drive from VA to FL to get it.
Now on about me. I am currently 17. (young for this forums, I know) I've been reading and doing research but there's a lot of misleading info. Someone says one thing, and another person says something else.. I'm still trying to find the complete swap parts thread for the 2JZ SC3 swap. But back to about me. I am coming over from the Honda scene. I have had 4 Civics and I've swapped and blew up motors. Tired of the same old thing and I have wanted a SC3 for a LONG time. I want a VIPish car that can handle more power than a Honda. Plus the RWD.
But what do yall thing about a SC3 with the engine installed but the trans is not (but included in the sale) and already 5 speed for $1500 OBO. Like I said, I'm awaiting pictures.

Howdy everyone, I've been lurking a while on the forums doing some research.
My name is Greg, and I hail from NC.
I just purchased A beautiful '93 SC400 last night(Pics coming soon.)after looking at it for a while.
I love the lines of the car, and the fact that it is a RWD V8. It's luxurious and underestimated. I'm looking to go Semi-VIP with some nice wheels and an Auto-couture kit. (I know...everyone and their mother has one.)

just gotta sc400.. wsup family?
sup yall'. just wanna introduce myself to the family. i just recently traded 93 infiniti g20+1600 for a 92 sc400 w/ 140k miles. The only thing is that my passesenger side door does not open from outside (which should be able to be fixed with door hinge), left headlight is out (i don't know if its the HID ballast or not), and the parking lights and fogs don't work, i think they just need to be rewired, and passenger side panel is kinda shot.. so if any1 know's of any1 selling any of these things lemme know. Anyway.. the name is jed. here are some pics

Evening, everyone.
My names Eric, and I am 19. I was a member here for a while, under a different name, which I no longer have the email // password for, so I couldn't retrieve it... So, I came back under this name, because I am a huge Rush fan!
I had decided about a year and a half ago that the SC300 was the car for me. Unfortunately, the person who I almost purchased the 94 5-Speed I was looking at sold the car on me because someone else offered him a little more... (Frustrating...) So, I went off in search of a different car. I ended up in a Mustang. I kept it clean, did only functional mods. I had exhaust, rims, tires, intake, and dyno-tune. You know, a little bit of fun! It was only the V6 model though. I would see a Supra or an SC300 every once in a while, and I would keep wondering what could have been with the Lexus, and not the Ford. Certainly, I loved my Mustang, I had wanted one since I was a kid. But the SC had something captivating that the Mustang didn't. Maybe it was just the fact that I didn't see one on every single street corner... Whatever it was I kept it in my mind.
Flash forward my little tale here to November 3, 2007.
I had just picked up a Supercharger for my little 'Stang, and I was actually ready to start making some power... when a big Ford F350 decided that my Mustang didn't look as good as it possibly could, so, he changed it to just how he wanted it. Hitting me in the right side of my car first, he destroyed my door, front quarter panel, mirror, and side scoop and front bumper. But he wasn't done yet. He hit the brakes, and I hit mine, because well, he had just hit me, and the trailer that he was towing didn't allow him to stop in time. His trailer destroyed my rear quarter panel, my trunk, and my rear bumper.
It was about 7000$$. He was at fault- but he was a very dishonest person. The insurance that he gave me turned out to be photoshopped, and he didn't actually have any! (My father and I are now suing him for the damages since he refused to pay...) I decided that I no longer wanted to work on the car, and just wanted to start over.
I needed a new car.
I saw a local ad for an SC300 and went to check it out. I went, drove it, the car seemed fine, but I never trust a used car salesmen, so I took it to a garage I used to work at, and they told me the car was fine. I am in the process of negotiating for the car now, and I have a down-payment on it. Hopefully, the sale goes well, we are almost there, (He wants 200 more for it than I want to pay, but I may just cave because the car is damn nice) and I am going to try and close the deal up tomorrow! It's a 1997 Maroon SC300 (auto) with 100,000 miles on the odometer!
I'm hoping that this one doesn't slip away, but since SC's have been on my mind so much, even if the car wasn't to end up in my possession, I would still look for a new one.
Anyway, thanks for reading that huge intro- I'll post pictures of the Mustang, both before the crash and after, and I am 100% sure that I will be posting a lot of pictures of whatever SC I end up in!
EDIT:
Yes! Sealed the deal today! I am in a '97 SC300!

Sup guys I got a 1992 SC400 its my first car and I love it. Its stock and most likely will remain stock. It came in pretty good shape Im a lil spoiled because my dad bought the car for me(3000$). I didnt even want a car in my defense but im glad I got it and I love it. But when I get my 5spd SC300 thatll be a different story.

My name is Reid and I am somewhat new. I had a Is300 sportcross a few years ago. Anyways I just picked up a very nice 1993 Sc300 5 speed Black with grey interior with 108k on it. It was a trade in at a Mercedes dealership and is very very clean. They sold it cheap because the airbag light was on and thanks to this forum it was super easy to clear. They also thought a 5 speed would be hard to sell . This car is going to be my daily driver I already have a pretty nice C5 corvette that I am modding but who knows I may sell it and go turbo on this car
Pictures to come I just drove it home 1700 miles and it's a tad dirty

Sup Peoples. My name is JD. I am 29y/o married with 2 rugrats. I am from the country so I have owned mostly trcuks and jeeps, however I had an opportunity to buy a 92 sc400 with 80k miles from an old man for $2000. I sold my jeep and bought the car and I know nothing about it. I am tryin to learn so I will be asking alot of question to some of the more advanced lexus owners. I don't have to many mod plans right now other that adding a stereo and Ipod adaptor until I finish with school, then I will get to work. I look forward to chatting with you all.
THx JD.
THx JD.
