Default Howdy from Texas!

I have been lurking on here for a couple of weeks and figured now is as good a time as any to register. I am no stranger to Lexus as I bought an LS400 new when they were first introduced. I got rid of the LS400 and later bought an LS430 that I absolutely loved. Since then I have gone the SUV route with the Mercedes-Benz ML500 and now my modded Chevy Avalanche w/cammed LS6.

I am a LONG time Nissan enthusiast and have a stable of cars in my garage/storage ranging from 3 240SX's, a 300ZX TT, a 350Z, a GT-R, an R32 Skyline, and even a Datsun 2000 Roadster. In fact, I even have a website called TEXASNISSANS.COM. Nevertheless, I have always had a yin to get myself an SC300/400. (I already managed to find an AE86 project car, so all my "yins" are presently satisfied.) An opportunity recently presented itself where I purchased a Pearl White '92 SC400 CHEAP, but it needs some TLC in all areas.

My goal is to completely refurbish the car to semi-show quality, add some performance and beauty upgrades, and boost the V-8 with a S/C. But for now, it is just a matter of doing some long overdue maintenance and repairing years of neglect beginning with the rear main seal and sagging doors.

I look forward to your comments and CL for some sage advice.

Are you still a regular on DI? Have not seen you post recently, then again, I'm not very active on there any more.

Since you're new, post pics of the SC and all your rides.

And welcome to CL.

I just lurk on DI nowadays. However, I mostly use it now to look for parts that I probably don't need, not to mention I am a wheel *****.

I will get pics of the SC400 up tonight...hopefully.

Funny you should say that. I say the same thing on my own forum.

But I will warn you now, it is in pretty rough shape and CERTAINLY won't win any beauty contest. It is R-O-U-G-H ! ! !

Lol, don't worry, I'm pretty sure a lot of people who really had passion building their SC's on here got their SC's in the same shape, that's why they ended up building the whole thing! Just like me!
