Hopefully one day they will participate in motorsports too if it peeks their interest

Thanks man, I'm so glad i went that route. Next step is to get more seat time and a manual conversion!

Welcome to the family friend.

If only they made the 3000gt a longitude layout with v8. That would have changed the game.

@@saeturn29 I feel like that would be so hard to fit 😂

@@ericacherney3132 as is, yes i agree with you. From a re-engineering point of view it can be done with the front end being extended and opening up the firewall/transmission tunnel.

@@ericacherney3132 I think Volvo did that with their v8.

Thank you🤝🏻

🙏

Take care of the car and it will take care of you, i guess what they say is true lol

It can if you get long tube headers and an x pipe exhaust setup.

Delete your resonator. Stock they are dead silent but without them it sounds so much better

Me too lol

🙏🏼

A clean example is already fetching premium price. If you're mechanically inclined then you're better off with a fixer upper if you can find one for cheap

Agreed!

Yeeee

Thanks for subscribing! And to answer your question, No and No. It was fairly easy to install. Lifting the engine was not required but more of a necessity because i was replacing the motor mounts at the same time which i would strongly recommend if you are going to install hurricane headers or any headers that's available for these specific engines. It will save you alot of time and effort down the road. As far as header install, it was easy to slip through the transmission tunnel and block to bolt them up. You just have to be very patient when maneuvering them through the passage. I'd recommend you replace the manifold gaskets with oem toyota ones as well. A custom exhaust will be required after all is done. You have the option of running H pipe or X pipe.

@@saeturn29 Thanks for the advice. I thought it was insane when they said it took 7 hours, I've taken motors out and put them back in in that time. I understand they're not a direct fit and I will be planning around that. I love seeing your car and keep up the good work with the vids.

@@coolhandluke1503 no problem at all. Do share some vids when you get yours done. Would love to see more 1uz/3uz with long tube headers

@@saeturn29 I will do, but my car has kind of been neglected for some time (out of necessity) and the old girl needs a lot of little parts here and there and I've recently found a guy local that deals with Sc400/300 in his spare time. So I'll be paying him a visit to get her ship shape before any more mods happen, but it will be happening in the new year and I'll keep you posted.

Thank you sir! These are Long tube as mentioned in the description.

Thunderhill is home court for sure

My clusters work fine. I only used tanin auto to repair my climate control lighting.

The Hurricane long tube headers were made specifically for the soarer v8 and sc400 chassis. I'm not sure if they make it for the ls460/gs460 if that's what you have. But worth a shot to look them up or email them @bestmufflers.com

Good attention to detail lol

I wish this thing had a 5.0 version of the 1uz lol

And if so. Which one? I’m thinking streetable vs racing since I plan on keeping it all motor (or so I say)

Stock internals. Literally just long tube headers and custom exhaust and intake

They are still double staggered 17x8 front and 18x10 rear. These may be coming off and going onto the gs400. Goals are to run Rays Gram Lights 57dr 18x9 front and 18x10.5 rear.

@@saeturn29 I just got 18x10 all around with 275/35/18

@@simonjohnson7025 how do you like the square setup?

Yes it is!

I'd love to but CA has a very strict emission policy. If that weren't the case I'd have a 8000rpm revving 1uz vvti right now. I do like to sound of a choppy v8 however

@@saeturn29 Sweet thanks. Was the install difficult?

@@Dizzy206 depends on your skill level. For me it was fairly easy.

BBS RS2 17x8 +38 front 18x10 +45 front 235/45 275/35 Federal rs-rr 200 tread. Suspensions is coilovers

@@saeturn29 thank you! also i forgot did you have to roll your fenders?

@@pushhrodd01 no roll, just shaved the inner fender lip only for my specific setup

@@saeturn29 ahh wow i’ve never heard of people shaving it. how did you shave it? dremel tool?

@@pushhrodd01 you can if you're comfortable with that, i used a cut off wheel then followed up with a flapper disc to smoothout the edges.

Yes

A decent one will yield a high price tag, i wpuld say if you aren't comfortable spending much but are decent at wrenching then buying a beat up one and go from there would be best suited since they will be had at a lower price

@@saeturn29 how good of a daily are they

@@nathankelati7576 i daily driven mine for 10 years, i would say as long as you are on top of maintenance then thry are very reliable and smooth in stock form.

@@saeturn29 hey how expensive are repair costs and what are sum problems you've ran into? i am thinking of buying a decent one

@@TWIZZY_RlCH repair cost are rare for me but if you take car of all the maintenance such as control arms, cooling and lubrication along with timing belt service i would say that's more than plenty to keep the car running. I can't give you a ball park but i also do majority of the services myself to save money if it's within my comfort zone, other than that these are extremely reliable, specifically speaking 98-00 models

Federal 595 RSR-R 200 treadwear

Tuned?

Just megan ez2 coilovers with stiffer spring rates 16kg/12kg f/r Polyurethane steering rack bushings and front and rear sway bar bushings as well. Track alignment and 200 treadwear tires. No tune. Just longtube headers with x pipe and custom exhaust and BFI with intake resonator delete. The 1uz vvti with the a650e 5spd auto is often underestimated but i have chased down some more modern and faster cars on the track. Hope this answers your question, cheers!

Long tube headers… so no cats at all correct?

Bestmufflers.com

What size are the headers?

No drone. Maybe due to x-pipe and muffler setup however so other setup may vary

Exhaust is custom, no resonators and paired to x pipe from the long tube headers up front.
