    I've been getting a few questions about this. You can do this upgrade on any year SC300 or SC400, but the donor brakes must be from a 95-00 LS400. The 90-94 LS400 brakes are smaller 2 piston calipers and will not be an upgrade for the SC.

    • @FullySpooled
      @FullySpooled  7 лет назад +1

      Cloudburn yep the rears will stay stock for now, just with new rotors and aggressive pads. I need to look into a dual caliper setup to ditch the stock drum ebrake.

    I'm buying a SC400 tomorrow. Its already been stripped on the inside, which after watching all of these episodes, I know how much work it took to strip it. I really think you deserve more subs, I also like that you show everything in your videos. Thank you for making this awesome videos!

    • @FullySpooled
      @FullySpooled  7 лет назад +1

      Gertofius1 thanks for the comments! It's super fun stripping the interior at first, but once you realize how many things need to be removed and how long it takes it gets old fast. I like showing the entire process if I can so people know exactly what it takes to convert a street car into a dedicated track car. Also that way I can go back and see what things looked like before I screwed with them if I need to fix anything.

    • @Gertofius1
      @Gertofius1 7 лет назад +2

      I drove 4 hours (each way) to look at it and the engine was running very poorly. Probably only half of the cylinders were working. The transmission also slammed into gear every time, jerking the car. But it got worse. Since it was stripped I was able to see the hole(s) in the floor that rust had eaten through. The seats in the car were RX8 seats which would be a redeeming factor for this turd except the adapter used to put them in was wooden planks and bolts. That was the most awful car that I have ever looked at. On a plus side, a buddy of mine who owns one had been scouting some out and a guy in our hometown was selling one to get money to get his truck back. I got it for pretty cheap and it came with a new, still in the box, set of coilovers. Not a bad end of the day.

    • @FullySpooled

    Do not bleed only the front calipers when you have done this i was busting my a** off and thought this was the correct way and i flushed the fronts two times and the pedal was still sinking on to the ground.
    FLUSH ALL CALIPERS starting from passenger rear then on to drivers rear then to passenger front and last drivers front. and for the love of god use blue or orange loctite to secure the caliper bolts before they fall off

    The dust shield also functions as a heat shield keeping your hot ass brakes from roasting your bushings and struts, also if you get some brake ducts you have some where mount the outlets to. No reason you can't run without them, but they are not totally useless, just mostly.

  • @mndlessdrwer
    @mndlessdrwer 2 года назад

    and now to buy two sets of whichever caliper you can find that will fit a hydro brake rear kit for that car. Because drifting becomes significantly more straight-forward with a hydro brake handle for the rear so you can use it to initiate the break of rear wheel traction.

      Also, buy your rotors online and they will be even cheaper! I managed to find a front set for $8.50 a piece last time I bought.
      There were even the Centric Premium with painted top hats and cooling vanes, which negates them ever sticking to the hub or wheel.

  • @WrongFromWright
    @WrongFromWright 6 лет назад +1

    Obviously this comment is late, but for those buying calipers used, you should def buy a rebuild kit for the calipers. Replace the pistons, piston boots, the tension clips and all other hardware. It would suck to have the brakes installed, and then have them fail because of old or worn out hardware.

    • @FullySpooled
      @FullySpooled  6 лет назад

      This is a really good point. I assume everyone would at least inspect the brakes they pick up for wear and tear. My brakes were in excellent shape thankfully, but this is definitely a good thing to keep in mind.

      @@FullySpooled I honestly was going to message you about roll cage. So I have never drifted or tracked a car. It's all I have ever wanted to do. I plan to do a roll cage, but for now ordered a harness brace for my harness belts. I'm guessing you will be doing a video on cage install. My other question was if you needed it to go to track and does it need to be certified or any special style. Thanks

    • @FullySpooled
      @FullySpooled  5 лет назад

      @@petescarport Be careful using a harness without a proper roll bar. If you're just using a brace and roll the car, the harness won't let you duck and you'll have a flattened head. That's why I kept the stock seat belts until I build the cage. As for certifications, I will be following the Formula Drift rulebook since that is the highest level of drifting with the most amount of requirements. I suggest finding the highest level of whatever racing you want to be doing and following their guidelines. (NHRA for drag racing, Formula Drift for drifting, etc)

      William Lundy the stock rear brakes on the SC are actually pretty good as far as rear brakes go, so I'm going to keep the stock ones for now and possibly upgrade them later to the Supra Turbo brakes if needed. I also need to figure out what to do about the handbrake situation since the stock handbrake won't work for drifting. That'll be a future episode. I'm sticking with the Evo Enkei wheels for now since I'm on a super tight budget.

    Are you going to turbocharge the 4.8 prior to install? How about instrument panel, might be easier to use a panel out of same year truck? No adapters or workarounds.
    Also, if I upgrade to the Gen 2 LS400 front brakes, will they allow the stock wheels to fit, or will I have to get wider wheels to clear like you?

    • @FullySpooled
      @FullySpooled  7 лет назад

      Nope, not turbocharging the 4.8 yet. I want to get the engine in and running first before I start introducing even more complexity. It'll help narrow down any issues with the install. I also want to start drifting and racing the car on lower power levels before upping it with boost. Also I'll need to crack the engine open to modify the piston rings and change out the stock con rod bolts for ARP, among other things, so that will all happen later on.
      I'm going to be using aftermarket gauges instead of a full stock instrument panel. I really just need a tach and maybe speedo behind the steering wheel for racing. Everything else will be mounted in the center console.
      The LS400 brakes will not let you use stock wheels. You'll need to get bigger wheels for sure. I tried making the stock SC wheels fit in the video and the spokes hit the caliper. I'd suggest 17" wheels minimum with either a higher offset or wheels spacers.

    • @FullySpooled
      @FullySpooled  5 лет назад

      Are you using stock wheels? How much space do you have between the brake caliper and the inside of the wheel spokes? You only need 1/8" to 1/4" of space there for them to clear. I would suggest getting aftermarket wheels if you can. My 17x8 +35 wheels off an Evo 8 cleared the brakes and did not rub. Otherwise you might want to get smaller spacers to reduce how much they stick out from the hub.

    • @FullySpooled
      @FullySpooled  7 лет назад +1

      From what I've seen the replacement parts aren't any more expensive than other cars of the same vintage. The luxury car tax on parts tends to fade as cars get older. Granted I immediately pulled out the engine and transmission, so those are probably going to have the most expensive parts to replace. Performance parts for the SC are largely on par with other popular platforms from what I can tell. (Except for S13 240s, which has a lot of cheaper performance parts just because there is so much competition between aftermarket companies).

      The original engine had around 167k miles if I remember correctly. The 1uz-fe has been known to run very reliably for a really long time, so I wouldn't be too worried about 200k miles. Just make sure it looks like it's been taken care of over the years and check for any abnormal wear and tear.

    I have a 1999 gs 300 can I do the same on my car?

      Yep. There are even clutch pedal assemblies and motor mount kits out there on the market for the GS.

      Pretty much, yeah. I get help from my friend Matt now and then with heavy lifting. I don't know that many car people where I live.
