ohhhh and in the video from the back ur sc spit a flame goin into second gear.. sweet!!!!!
i wonder if mine will???

 

The fogs I baked and pulled apart the lense from the housing, removed the black glare sheild, then put yellow vinyl and ran bright white Xenons(4000-4600K-ish) and the HIDs are acutally 10000K.

Mine spit a flame because it is pretty much straight exhaust, no catalyst. haha

 

mine is basically str8 pipe too...ohhhh and i got my pedals 2day from driftmotion...idid u use sumthing to push down on the spring in order to line ur clutch pedal up with the bracket...cuz for some reason it seems like the spring is too high and i have to use sumthin to put pressure on it so that i can line up the clutch pedal with the bracket whole..u kno the big 2" bolt??

 

Mine lined right up after punching out the holes through the firewall, I'd have to see a picture of the setup your talking about. I used stock SC300 pedals for mine, dont know if driftmotion is close or way different.

 

my pedals are oem sc300 pedals aswell but nevermind, u bought ur pedals used so ur clutch pedal assembly was already together..lol i jus realized that..when u buy it oem u have to put everything together that goes on the clutch pedal,bracket,washers,clutch spring etc...etc...

 

Yesh...that sucks!

A small spring compressor or a vise grip on each side maybe?

 

Did you ever figure out the cruise control issue? When you adjusted the gear selector as you mentioned earlier, were you doing it remotely from inside the car somehow?

 

Got to see/hear this car in person last weekend! Sounds beastly and the wheels set it off....Very cool dude. Hooked me up big time with a 2JZ-W58 bellhousing and MKIV/SC3 Shifter assembly!

 

more of these on the road now...congrats...(old thread)

 

Hello,
I am considering the purchase of the Bulletcars W58 conversion kit for my 98 SC400. I was wondering if you would give me some feed back on your experience with the kit. Are you happy with everything? Any installation glitches? What rearend (differential) are you using? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Sincerely,
Luis

 

The only hang ups I had with this where the slave cylinder sits real close to the stock cat so since it was hollowed out I just heated it up and hammered it in so it wouldnt hit, and as long as you know a good driveshaft shop you can use it it to mate a MKIII front half to the SC400 rear half. I am nothing but pleased with this swap and was amazed how fluid everything was. Good luck you.

Glad to see my build thread is helping the 1UZFE get the recognition it deserves!

 

Thanks, I hope my build thread has made the swap a bit more approachable.
