my remain seal leaks a little not much. when we got the car and looked under it the rear end was covered in dried gunk like the rear end what leaking we cleaned it off and it doesnt seem to be leaking is this something to worry about? or does someone think it was just dirty? my radiator also leaks or leaks from somewhere it seems to be coming from the bottom on the passengers side right by the 2 hoses going into the radiator any ideas?

My rear main seal leaks also, will not ruin your engine just check your oil and don't let it get too low. Its anywhere from $350 to $600 to fix depending on where yo live. I would get radiater fixed right away.

thats what my plan is it doesnt leak barly anything at all but i know it could get bad fast i just cant find out were its leaking from if its somthing i can fix without buying a new radiater i want to try it b/c the radiater isnt that old.

hey im just wonderin looking at buying a sc 3 or 4 want to mod it.

would any of you sc4 guys have gone back on your decision or was it worth while to get the 400

iv only had my 400 for a little over week now but im so happy with it. my plans our to hook it up thats all i do anymore is look for parts and price's. i have not once wished that i had gone with the 300 though.

Dang 3k is a nice find. First thing, if I were you, is to drop it on some full coilovers or air ride and then gets some wheels :P.

well it already has infinity rims which looks nice and i did plan on putting coilovers on as soon as i get a system and tint.

Some of my dash/cluster lights work great! Some flicker...and then some aren't working at all. Is this a simple fix meaning pull the dash and replace bulbs?

i have the same problem on my 93' sc400 the speedo and fuel tacks dont work at all and the rpm tack flickers in some area's i turned my brightness down and now it doesnt flicker and from what i have read on this its not an easy fix by just replacing blubs.

Most all of the threads I've read on replacing the transmission fluid suggest a gradual change by dropping the pan and putting in the newer T4 fluid (2-3qts every 3-5,000mi) until the color changes to close to the new fluid or do it 5-6 times. Some people reported trouble with flushing out the transmission fluid in cars with high miles on the trans. and then replacing all the fluid at once so I'd rather be safe than sorry. Don't use anything other than T4 (or the older T2) Toyota brand trans fluid or you may get yourself in trouble. If you google lexus parts or toyota trans fluid you should be able to get T4 for about $5.50qt and free shipping for orders over $50 is common. Clean the transmission filter when you drop the pan. You can also check with your local lexus or toyota dealer but the above advice is a summary of what I've found on the web.

thnx.

my dad keeps telling me the rear end in this thing is crazy good and is wondering if he could adjust it by himself is this possable? also is it common for the rear end seal to need to be replaced?

A good excuse to get carbon fiber doors!

lol yeh i guess it is but would rather would put a normal door and a body kit instead.

im not much of a carbon fiber guy.

Check ebay if you need replacement parts as at least one SC400 is being parted out and you may get a matching door if you you need one. Otherwise, I would, check with lexus to get the cars service history. Did it have the timing belt done at 90,000mi? Also, the PS units tend to start to leak at about your milage and there are less expensive rebuild kits available if needed than what lexus would charge you if you need to repair/replace it. I would change the oil, oil filter, air and fuel filters if these have not been recently done. I use mobile one and OEM,Mahle or Wixx filters. Also, flush the brake fluid and consider gradually changing the transmission fluid to Toyota T4 synthetic. I use NGK iridium spark plugs off ebay for about $48 and they have been excellent. I've found that Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 tires on the OEM 16" rims work great in wet or dry conditions and are very quiet for a high performance tire. You can upgrade your headlights to silverstar plus bulbs. For more performance you can get a dragon torque converter, headers, chip etc but Jibbby is the expert in those areas. Also check the detailing forums ( I'd wash, clay bar, polish, wax and seal the exterior and gently clean the interior with a magic eraser using woolite & water in a 1:5 dilution) if necessary. Ultimately it just depends on what you want to accomplish and how much you want to spend.

thnx for all the info. i alrdy changed the oil checked all the fluids, air fliter, and oil filter. gonna put ngks on aswell and was going to change the tranny fluid why should i use toyota t4 sunthetic what does it do how much? i got a set of 18" wheels on there now off a newer infinity im going to put 2 new tires on the back this weekend. also hoping to get it tinted dark this weekend.

i just bought a 93 lexus sc 400 . it has 135000miles on it nothing is wrong with it mechanicly. i only paid 3200 for it b/c a drunk driver hit it while it was parked and got the driver door a bit. the damage isnt even that bad.

so i was wondering what you guys though were some good quick up grades.

i would post some pictures but i cant figure out how to do it on here.

Welcome to the club Always hate to hear that a lex was hit :cries: Check out JIBBBY he is the SC modder on these boards as of late.

im looking to see how hard it would be to put lowering springs on it myself and were to find good parts also want to put a chip and exuast any know where to look?
