I have a 95 SC400 that does not have any real issues but I figure I would open up the ECU (94 ECU) and replace the 8 capacitors. None of them were leaking and after I pulled them I checked them with a ESR meter. This is where I got the reference numbers.
Just ordered a Nakamichi NA135 head unit, which might appeal to others who have expressed an interest in an upgraded stereo with modern connectivity, but want hard buttons / volume ***** and don't care for all the bells and whistles. Look it up, the feature list is hard to fathom for under $100. Plus legendary build and sound quality from Nak!
I was looking for a Double DIN the past couple weeks to go with the backup camera arriving in 2 days, but so few of the current offerings have a volume **** (I'm not willing to constantly take my eyes off the road to hunt for a button when listening to mp3's at varying levels ... it should be illegal to sell a head unit without a volume ****!), and the ones that do tend to be a few years older or are bottom tier brands like Boss, and we know what that means with cutting edge technology: software glitches. One will be great with Apple products but lousy with Androids or vice versa, good bluethooth but bad audio, etc. KISS.
I just now ran across the Nakamichi in a cross-listing on amazon. High power, small LCD for the backup camera (why waste all that space for the infrequent need to see what's back there?), easy controls, limited clutter... If it lives up to Nak's reputation, this should be a home run.

That's funny, I'm running a '95 ECU in my '94 SC400 at the moment.
Installed sunroof assembly. The old one had the right rubber belt/band so weathered it snapped. All back interior had to be removed to install assembly minus rear speaker panel. The assembly is HEAVY. APT should make a replacement insert.

Spent 2 days ago changed out the left bank distributor cap and rotor after they died on me coming home from work. Then spent this morning changing out the right bank Dissy and rotor after it died on me again coming back from work, only to get it back together and find out it was the coilpack that died this time. Did it using 4.5 of the 6 hours that break up an otherwise 24 hour shift. Who needs sleep?
Pulled the head off, cleaned the surface and Pistons, waiting for my arp studs to come in so I can install new TT hg, and move on to assembly of the ge-T block..
Replaced engine mounts and installed new PS Pump with single line to rack. Steering feels a lot better now. Engine still shakes after mounts, so I'm replacing the transmission mount next week. If the car still shakes, then I'm lost for words. Found the exhaust leak, it's right after the rear cat. Not sure what I'm going to do as the flange is really banged up from rust over the past 20+ years. Going to stay NA for while, but I don't want to spend a small fortune on aftermarket headers and exhaust. I've read lots of nightmares about cheap OBX style headers and exhaust.
1998 SC300 Platinum Silver with Black interior.
