Everything you need to make a 2JZ SC400 minus the oil pan!
A Lexus SC400 and a 2JZ Motor - Read below:

The SC400:
Year: 1992
Make: Lexus
Model: SC400
Mileage: 200k~
Title Status: Clear
Transmission: Auto
Current Engine:
1UZ-FE

Extra details: The car RAN and drove excellent and is beautiful on the exterior. I just put a new JVC double din with all new speakers in the car. It also is setup with a 5 channel amp. I have a cheap 10" sub I was gonna put in the factory location, but apparently its an 8". The car has sat for the past month due to my lack of time diagnosing a loss of spark. Cranks fine, can smell fuel. I am guessing it a bad cap/rotor. I just replaced the coolant reservoir as it cracked (guessing the rotors got wet when this happened). Traction control, overdrive and all that works perfect. The transmission mount needs replaced as it has the infamous 2700~ rpm shudder going down the interstate. Shifts fine, 2nd gear shift solenoid was just replaced within the last 6 months. The interior needs some work. Typical bolster wear on the drivers seat (has leather seat covers on it now to prevent any further tearing). Drivers door panel appears to have been taken off a hundred times. Need a new drivers window regulator. Someone prior to me apparently tried to install an sc300 window regulator and it doesn't work. Passenger window works fine. Power tilt works, sunroof works, not sure how to unlock trunk.

The car does NOT run. It will need to be trailered.


 
The
2JZ-GTE VVTi:

This is an imported 2jzgte auto VVTi with...
  • Tweak'd Performance self contained harness. (This allows the engine to be ran simply by hooking up constant/switched power and a ground. Very simple and effective.)
  • Engine has been in a 300zx and ran just fine.
  • The engine also has driftmotions AC/PS delete pulley/belt on it.
  • I have some of the original equipment, but ask if it will affect your purchase.
  • I have a MAPECU2 setup if you would decide to upgrade the fuel system or turbo.
  • sc300 motor mounts (direct bolt up to sc400 and allow to the installation of the 2jz into an sc400)
  • I will include, basically all you need minus a rear sump oil pan to swap and drive the car with bare essentials.
Below is a link to the video below is a video of the engine running, it didn't have the air meter properly inserted in the intake pipe - hence the stuttering and barely able to stay running.

  I will have the 2jzgte, sc400, and all mounts/accessories ready for pickup when this sells.

Lexus parts prices cut in China amidst antitrust fears

Mon, 25 Aug 2014

It's been a topsy-turvy summer for foreign businesses in China ever since that country's National Development and Reform Commission and State Administration for Industry & Commerce launched a horde of investigations into anti-monopoly practices. When the law outlining monopolistic behavior was passed in 2008 foreign companies appreciated it, expecting it to illuminate some of the more opaque corners of Chinese government enforcement. That hasn't exactly been the case, and now as more than 1,000 auto-sector firms get investigated and pay huge fines to settle the nebulous charge of having prices that are too high, that hoped-for clarity is all but gone.
A recent news report said Audi, Chrysler and Daimler "would be punished for unspecified violations" concerning the prices of spare parts. Earlier this month Toyota said that Lexus China was being looked at, and before there's been any public notification of punishment Lexus has decided to lower the price of its replacement parts. From next month, customers will save an average of 26 percent on roughly 15,000 parts. It's unknown whether the move will appease authorities enough to end the investigation, which outside analysts have said targets foreign firms in China over domestic industry.

Lexus looking for performance with 600-hp LF-LC?

Sun, 27 Jul 2014

Lexus has been keeping development of the production version of its LF-LC concept tightly under wraps. Last we heard, that halo GT car had received the green light for production, but that was over a year ago. Since then, things have been pretty silent. Finally though, fresh rumors about the luxury coupe are starting to leak out, pointing toward the model's powertrain lineup.
According to unnamed sources speaking to Motor Trend, the production LF-LC will eventually sport three very intriguing engine options. The base model will reportedly use a naturally aspirated V8 providing around 450 horsepower - very similar specs to the upcoming RC F. The next step up will allegedly be the upcoming hybrid powertrain shared between BMW and Toyota pumping things up to around 500 hp. Finally, a top-of-the-heap F version will use a twin-turbocharged version of the RC F's 5.0-liter V8 to bring output to 600 hp. The insiders even claim that the hybrid and the twin-turbo V8 could find their way into other Lexus products like the LS and possibly even a more beastly RC.
None of this speculation sounds too outlandish. Lexus could get more capacity out of the RC F's tuned V8 by shoving it into other models, and rumors are flying about performance cars spawned from BMW and Toyota's partnership. Given Lexus' recent embrace of turbocharging, even the twin-turbo V8 doesn't seem too dubious. That said, with no hard facts to back up the rumormill, we'll have to keep waiting to see what the LF-LC shows up with.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
