Super sweet man, I told myself I wouldn't put any parts on the credit card but you're making me second guess myself to get this thing done. I'm waiting on wheels/coilovers until after the motors back together too. All my friends say I'm doing it backwards lol. How's the traction with stock width tires? Is that the 1j or 2j auto trans?
If you have good credit apply for PayPal credit. It allows you to get parts and not pay for 6 months. After the 6 months interest gets added but it's worth it and you can op to pay the credit off before the interest period kicks in with no penalty. That's how I got some of my parts. As far as the trans it's the 1J auto trans AE340 which is the same as the 2J. I love the car honestly but I haven't fully got on it yet...waiting for my exhaust to come next week it's actually scary driving the SC fast after daily driving a Z which has firm sport suspension lol
My bro Cj I'm finally back on the forums bro. Even though I haven't been on this site for a while I been following the build personally since we are boys! I'm glad you decided to stick it out and keep her. Now it's no going back!!! She has definitely come a long way. Congrats!!

Finally got around to reposition and re-weld the throttle body cable bracket as well wrapping the engine harness. Now everything under the hood is complete thanks to Pedro. Only thing left now is the exhaust and new battery.
Out with the old battery and in with the new Optima Red Top Shouts out to Summit Racing for the great deal and excellent customer service. Old battery wouldn't hold a charge and felt weak during throttle. The Optima battery gave it a whole new life and I can feel the difference in how smooth and quick it fires up.
Drove the SC down to Miami for the holidays for it's first legit long road trip. I must say it rides smooth and is quiet as a mouse. Gas mileage is pretty good as well. The only thing that I legit will be changing ASAP is the suspension. Man this thing felt like it was floating the whole 210+ miles. The OEM suspension and sway was not made for performance I can tell you that now lol. So coilovers will come soom to firm up the ride as well as wheels.
So sweet. Was that the Driftmotion bolt-on intercooler kit or did you cut the pipes yourself? Do you or Pedro have any wiring diagrams or help on the body plug side? The engine stuff is pretty simple but I'm wiring the body plugs into my 400 and pretty much everything is in Japanese for the VVTi / JZX100+ stuff...??

Hate to bug you but any updates? Specifically on how the body side wiring was done?
Just an update...I've parted ways with the car with a fellow local SC owner. I took his 2000 SC300 with cash on top and he took my SC. Car is in good hands but I can now say my new SC is the Deadpool SC because Deadpool looks better in red anyway. Last of the breed 1 of 531 made. New build thread will come soon.
The last ride

I used the CX Racing kit which was bolt on with no issues...not sure about the 400 but Pedro should have that info

Now the 1JZ will sound & perform like it should.
