If you can ditch it without losing too much cash, do it. I had one and I did the conversion to 1JZ. It was everything I wanted....except practical.

The SC is a great car. Dont get me wrong, I love the GS, especially the 1st gen, but when it comes to racing, I think the SC has the advantage. Obviously, you got the 400, only thing wrong with those, is that it only comes in automatic. If it came in manual, it would be an awesome car to drive and have fun with.
I think you should sell it, its not worth the hassle, the 1UZFE is too hard to get power out of and I dont think you will have fun in that car. If anything go get you a 350Z or a 300ZX...TT of course.

no doubt when it comes to races i would love to have that SC raced out but i dont even have a lic. so i wouldnt want to go all race... and for the z's ive had the 350z and a 91tt... so was not impress with the nismo unless its an RB26 motor... but i think i am gonna sell the SC

I dont know about the TT swap in a 400. I heard theres some more work to it but other than that im looking into a TT swap on my 300. I love the car and i think all lexus cars r great cars. My buddy has a 300zxtt and its a quick car and all but it breaks down like every week lol. I hear a sc300tt swap is one of the best things to do with the sc. I havent heard of anyone regreating it yet.
