  1. My fellow Bay Areans need to represent with the SCs 18s 19s 20s all work if you do it right The red Vertex soarer rolls on 18s, I saw it @ D1. 255 in front, I forgot the back. But if you get the right offset, your car will look sick. If you want looks go with 19s or 20s, 20s are a bit touchy, you can either have a big hit or big miss on them. If you do go big, chrome might be too much bling or shine. I think 19s are the way to go. Deep dish, SCs carry them very well.
  2. I would pass on those Kazeras, they look ricey. I'd go 19s, deep dish, nice silver or polish. How about 20s??? I like these SSR professors, I wanted these. Nice huh!!!
  3. I only have the right side available. I'll probably be selling it. Maybe someone can help me here, I can't seem to PM or email anybody. Did I do something incorrectly when I was doing my profile. axis8758 email me Jonny006@sbcglobal.net
  4. Hey Guys, Iam doing a taillight conversionfrom a 95 to 97 &up. I was looking on Lexuspros and they had a conversion module, is this truly necessary or could I just tap or splice? Is this just so that the install looks clean? Thanks
  5. Actually I have the ECU and the motor, those are fine, but there are 4 other plugs that go to the side of the car that powers everything else. So i probably have to get the Soarer bible, i have heard of it. But I figured I might be able to find it online, you know free. :D
  6. Hey thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Do you know of any other sites like the one? I actually need a more detailed Soarer ECU diagram, the one that tells you what each pin is for. The 1JZ diagram that they have there is actually for the Supra 1JZ.
  7. Hey fellas, I'm working on a 1JZ swap and working on the wiring next. I need a wiring diagram so I can put the 1JZ motor in my SC. I wanted to email some of the guys on the forum, but it wouldn't let me. Any help would be great. Thanks
  8. I thought I'd add some comments. I installed a Panasonic indash DVD pull out screen in my SC. I am also using an ipod in it. the TV tuner for the panasonic had2 vtr inputs, so i hooked it up with a Y adapter and voila. I used a pocket kit that you can buy at goodguys or circuit city or any audio place. The kit was actually from my old car which was an Infiniti, when I looked at the kit instructions, it had adapters for Nissan, Toyota, Honda. So I screwed the pocket in on top, then the deck on the bottom tier. But then you have a gap of 1/2 din under, the only downside. But it's a pretty simple install, if you know what you're doing. I'm not sure if you have to change your whole system though, since the factory speakers are amplified. I changed all of mine, so I don't know. You might be able to run wires to the factory speakers and power them from the deck. But I'm almost certain that you can't just hook up an aftermarket deck to the factory amplified system. Hope that helps. :whistles:
  9. The reason why Teins are so popular is because they've had more advertising and marketing support than JICs or Zeals. I spoke to a guy in the San Francisco area that distributes JIC, a customer had a problem, the welds came apart and JIC wouldn't replace it, they said it was due to aggresive driving. Come on. They are now distributing Zeals, which are in my opinion are much better that Teins or JIC. Rides much better that both. Just my opinion.
  10. Another thing that I thought, since our SCs are factory amplified, I'm not sure you can just buy any speaker and replace it, because the factory amp and speaker have different ohms. Kind of like the Bose systems. You might have to do a whole system replacement, which is what I did. But to conclude 6 1/2" fit.
  11. I've installed a system in my SC and I was able to put a 6 1/2" Coaxial in the rear deck. I installed a Pioneer TSG1647, it's specially made to fit GM & Infiniti 6 3/4" I then bent the connectors down a bit so they won't touch. The other thing you have to do is drill holes for the screws, as there are no existing holes that you can just put them into. I drilled from under and angled the screw in. for the fronts, I installed a 6 1/2" Nakamichi, these wouldn't fit in the back because of the basket. But there's a whole lot of room up front to put them in, you just have to remove the whole speaker pod. I ghetto rigged it by just removing the front of the pod where the 4" sits and screwed the 6 1/2 in. For the original sub, I removed it so that more bass could come through, but you must retain the bracket the light sits on.
  12. Our cars ride well because of the nice suspension, if you roll with 18's and keep the stock suspension. I don't think it would be that bad. It's when you lower your car that changes a lot of the aspects of a good ride. I lowered my car with a spring I got from Japan, I think the drop was about 3 inches, at least. The car is Slammed and I have the stock 16" wheels and it rides rough as you'd expect, and I'm planning on putting 19s soon, well hopefully. Basically it all depends what you want, I want the look, so I pay for it. But surprisingly, it rides well on slightly bumpy roads & freeways, corners are a blast. But San Francisco roads kills.
  13. You know you can buy 18s for a little bit more and it would make your car look ten times better than the 17s. I also suggest getting a staggered setup, but I don't think they make ADRs that way though. If you're looking for something in that $ range, Axis has some nice ones, Ebay has a ton of stuff. I'm waiting for some good deals on tires, I found some rears, still looking for fronts. Patience is a virtue.
  14. I've seen the Zeal Coilovers and they are nice. They ride well too. The JICs, I heard they ride rough and the quality of the welds looked so so, plus the spring is painted purple, ughh. Tein, ehhhh. The good thing about Zeals and JIC is that you can lower the car via a lower shaft while retaining spring tension. So a separate piece on the bottom of the shock is lowered or raised. You can have your car slammed, but still are able to have a comfy ride. The Tein, the ones I've seen, you can only lower it by adjusting the springs. So the lower the car, the harsher the ride. The only downside to the Zeals is that they are pricey, BUT I heard they also revalve it for free. I think. Pretty good incentive though. You can checkout the site. Endlessusa.com. I thought about getting the B6 or S6, but no moolah. I hope that helps.
  15. Thanks for the reply guys. Well I've heard that people that turbo their 2JZGE have yeilded 400 - 500 horse or even more. My question is, how about the compression how have you turbo GEs lowered the compression or was it left stock??? How about that double stack gasket deal, should I do it??? I'll find out soon enough if the head gaskets are the same. Since I have all the wiring, I'm going to try and see if I can get the Digital dash to work.
