Would love a cost breakdown video including how much for the initial swap and how much it cost to fix the issues post-swap! The videos are dope bro, don't stop!
@@2AMcars Great video bro, still awaiting the follow-up! I just saw an SC400 project car for sale for cheap, so I'm trying to do research. Manual Swap would DEFINITELY be on my list!
Glad to see the culmination of all this effort and passion! Big props to you and your friends for sharing your journey with all of us on TH-cam. Makes me want to buy an SC again!
@@2AMcars i got a 92 sc300 myself, in toronto, i love seeing fellow sc owners unlock the true potential of this amazing chassis. I recently purchased a full battle version suspension for my car. Slowly but surely I'll get to the swap stage. Again love seeing your vids brother, keep it up👊🏽
That is awesome man. I have a 1991 v8 soarer here in Australia and it would be my dream to swap my 4 speed auto with a 5 or 6 speed manual. These cars are sky rocketing in value so hold onto it man.
I read every comment. Pretty much everyone asked and opinionated the same I would of or heard in the streets. I also see why people asked about the video you were planning, but the world had been crazy. I hope all is well now. Whenever you do post that video, I be watching with popcorn and a notepad.
I’d recommend cd009 over ka/sr trans. Those aren’t really meant to handle a lot of tq. Probably why his first one blew. Even cheaper is the z32 trans which can handle anything a uz can throw at it
I was enjoying this video because im thinking about buying and swapping a sc400 and then I see Nikko and I recognized him, I sold him Mk5 GTI parts a while back! Must mean youre kinda close haha
Wanted to see how easy it was and quickly found out I won’t be doing this anytime soon Great car though. One day when the funds are right I’ll grab a sc400 and manual swap it
I’m putting the plan together for the swap but life stuff has made me look for someone to do the majority of the work... but now that I see the benefits of pulling the engine, maybe I should just do it and take my time. In most SC400 manual swap videos I’ve seen they drop the transmission and use a 350z 6 speed. Working under a car isn’t fun... that being said, how much more time was spent pulling the motor vs dropping the transmission only. (If you know..?) Also, in your educated opinion, what are the pros/cons of the 240 5 speed vs the Z 6 speed. I think the 6 speed shifter ends up back by your elbow and 5 speed lines up perfectly..but the Z 6 speed seems like it’s a stronger unit. That, and having a 6th gear is more desirable. I’ll wait to see your next video on the cons of the 5speed but any other input you have would be much appreciated. Awesome channel dude. Waiting for the next video is as painful as waiting for the next ‘Grand Tour’ episode.. haha
hi! I think it is definitely faster to drop the trans but Stephen pulled the motor to do a bunch of other work to it. I think the motor was out of the car within a day, and it was put back in within a day. 240 5 speed from what i know shifts smoother, and the shifter hole lines up perfectly. The 6 speed is much stronger and can hold more torque (hence why i said i blew up a transmission already). Whichever route you go, i am sure you will like it!
This is so rad, thanks for adding the follow-up about how it was like for a year after the first swap! For the GPS gauge, how well does it work when you don't have clear line of sight to the sky?
nice job man!!! i was just curious, how does the car drive with just the automatic set up? i am looking to buy one of these but i am kind of skeptical.
@dronetrucker8623 you cha ginger gears out in diff its quite short if u can go with 3.62 or 3.76....or if you want even gear 3.26...3.92 are really short
What offsets are your front and rear wheels? I saw on F90's channel they were 18x9.5 and 18x10.5, what about offsets? Did the fronts clear the LS calipers without spacers? I'm shopping wheels now and have the LS calipers, need to make sure whatever I pick will fit and clear. Thanks.
Yo this is awesome! Im about to do most of the same work to my SC400!!! This is a great vid that answered some of my questions!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH If I have any questions may I reachout to you to talk shop??? :D
Did you have to modify the bellhousing/adapter plate/change bellhousing to make it fit onto the 1uz? Or did it go straight on no modifications? Considering doing a KA swap on my 92!
Hey man im swapping cd009 in my 1992 sc400 in a couple weeks time, question for you? What wire did you tap into for the gps speedo, i bought the same unit as you but cant find a wiring diagram for the life of me, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
mrmynameis19 the transmission was already on its way out. It grinded a lot and would be difficult to go into gear. Made lots of loud whining noises. Then when I dumped the clutch, I sealed its fate lol
Manual + RWD + V8 + Coupe = Perfect sports car!
Can't wait to see this thing on the track!
Very Cool but way to heavy for the track!
2 years later damn glad you back bro don’t stop w these vids
thank you sir! i feel motivated!

Great video brother! I'm glad you're back!
Thanks brother!
Man I was wondering what happened to this channel. Good to see something new.
still waiting on that parts video :')
This deserves way more views 👍🏽

Imma keep my automatic transmission. O do enough shifting in my semi truck every day. But still that is a sick ass sc. Nice!
Super clean build and solid production quality. 10/10

Just picked up a '94 sc400, drives like a dream
welcome to the 1uz club :)
Woah! Didnt know you did so much!!! For me this is goals
Thanks Dhruv!
Yo Im so glad I searched this and saw it was only uploaded 2hrs ago. I think it’s a sign I should manual swap mine
Do it if you can!
Damn the sc looking 🔥🔥🔥 she came a long way
I actually love this. The SC400 should’ve come with one from the factory but looking at the take rate of the manual SC300....maybe not so lol
Love the video, Mitesh! Your SC400 is one of my all time faves!
Thanks Cal!
GREAT VIDEO! LOVE THE QUALITY
Thanks!!
Hyped to be keeping that sc400 manual bezel insert alive in my car now! 🤙🏼
So no parts video? 😢
I do love this body of lexus. We're 1UZ swapping our AE86 this summer, but we're going to try the 6 speed from the 350Z.

such a well put together video. Just need the parts breakdown vid.
Lol that next video never came ;(.
such a nice sc. best ive seen !!!
Cool combo. Glad things worked out as easy as they did. Happy do you.
So cool bro!! What bodykit is that??
Thanks! Its a Auto Couture rep front bumper from KBD, 97 side skirts, and a KBD ducktail spoiler!
great content i just got an sc300 shell myself. your content is amazing bro your definitely gained a new subscriber.
I cant wait for the next video , your sc is straight 🔥 do you have a video about your exhaust/headers set up? It sounds so amazing
No video other than the exhaust clips in this one :)
Looks good man! Hope all is well.
Thanks! You too!
Dreams that most of us laggers will never accomplish. I really hope to make mine a 5 sd one day and try out a W58. Major Props Bro, Major 🤘🏻🌎
You really can't beat the sound of a v8!
this is true!! Proof: the 63 AMG :)
100%
I’d recommend cd009 over ka/sr trans. Those aren’t really meant to handle a lot of tq. Probably why his first one blew. Even cheaper is the z32 trans which can handle anything a uz can throw at it
Excellent work!
Great video - congrats
Awesome edit - cool stuff Mitty!
Thanks a ton Ronnie!
You trying to race I got a Manual SC400 too!😅
Let's set it up!
Let’s do it!
Can't wait hope you can drive as fast as your car looks lol
Let’s make it three. I got a manual swapped sc400 too

Great vid definitely a go to
Would love for you to make that parts list and problems video. Just picked up a 1997 SC4 and the manual swap is seriously something I'm considering!
Will do!! eventually haha
Welcome back
Thank you very much! :)
Talk about a dream car 😱

Whoaaaaaaa I seen that m30 vert noiceeeee 👍🏽🐆
saw the KBD duckbill, do you plan on doing a whole kit?
Still waiting on the next video
Good content I love your car set up
Glad you enjoy it!
How did you setup the clutch? Master and pedal?
Rather sad you left that out..
8:50 M30 neat.
So was the motor just taken out just for ease of everything or is it necessary to pull transmissions on these cars
Man this is making me manual swap my 96 LS400
i wanna manual swap my ls400 eventually
nice job man!!! i was just curious, how does the car drive with just the automatic set up? i am looking to buy one of these but i am kind of skeptical.
I'm leaning towards CD009 brand new, these older transmission have sorted histories, nice car, great video, buying my sc400 next week 👍
Do cd009 you won't be disappointed...you will be with the 240 and w58 trans had to rebuild my w58 5 or 6 times

First try swap gang 👌👌
Hell yeah homie!
Boss where u at now?
Well second manual car 1st was a 1993 Honda civic ex coupe 5 spedd
Heyy man I love the content I have a sc myself do you mind listing the thing to swap it ?
Making me miss my old Soarer so much.. 😭
Is there a way to remove the check Engine lights and dashboard lights?

What year sc400 you have? I know ecu tends to rev limit the car or limp mode sometimes when in limp mode unless first gen dont have that much problem
did you have to do anything with the ECU?
Awesome build! But why not go R154? They're much stronger
Were you able to get the parts list together for this?
I have but theres a bunch of life stuff going on rn so ill get to that video soon !
@@2AMcars I completely understand man! Take your time and great work on the videos!!
I know this is late bro but what seats are those ?
What rims and tires you running man? Super sick 👌🏽
General GMAX RS!
Problem with this is going with a Ka24 transmission should have gone with the 300ZX.
What ecu did you end up going with?
when are you going to post the mods list??
Increíble!!!
Precio del swap?
probably around 3-4k usd.
Yo this is awesome! Im about to do most of the same work to my SC400!!! This is a great vid that answered some of my questions!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
If I have any questions may I reachout to you to talk shop??? :D
Good video
Glad you enjoyed!
Can you share all of your parts that you bought for this project?
will do!
So this trans/shifter combo works without hacking up the trans tunnel?
Yes exactly right
Did you have to modify the bellhousing/adapter plate/change bellhousing to make it fit onto the 1uz? Or did it go straight on no modifications? Considering doing a KA swap on my 92!
the adapterplate bolts right on! No modifications required
Since the gs400 has the same engine you could basically do the same right? Or would you have to get a different trans since it’s a different chassis?
basically you can! im not sure how it would line up with the shifter hole though. Many people also use this swap in the 240sx and in the ls400
How did you get that sound out of the muffler
I imam get 1 soon and save up for a manual swap u think thats good for my first car?
Yes, definitely
Hey bro where are you guys located? I would like to contact you guys about the swap if possible
Hey man im swapping cd009 in my 1992 sc400 in a couple weeks time, question for you? What wire did you tap into for the gps speedo, i bought the same unit as you but cant find a wiring diagram for the life of me, any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Does it have a short throw shifter?
yes from ISR
240 sx 5 spd takes the power?
Could this swap work in the 2jz ge
2AMCars awesome swap dude I got a 99 SC400 vvti I definitely wanna go Manual I live in jersey and will like to meet up
Sounds good man lets meet up!
How much does it cost
Is it tuned since you have headers?
nope, still stock ecu
Bro wya? We need new vids
How much do you think everything costed?
probably around 3-4k labor included
Did you upgrade the transmission?
I ended up replacing the transmission in the video with one that was in better condition
2AMCars you using the SR transmission or the KA? I’m leaning towards the AR5 from the Colorados
2AMCars the transmission failing, was that because you raced it? Or was it just a bunk transmission?
Kool-Aids Phuckery i used a KA trans but the KA and SR are the same
mrmynameis19 the transmission was already on its way out. It grinded a lot and would be difficult to go into gear. Made lots of loud whining noises. Then when I dumped the clutch, I sealed its fate lol
Ecu?
