[@LCRusso997]

Watching this while sitting in my sc300

[@RADIndustries]

Nice dude 😀

[@Boostgravyy]

It’s about gah damn time.. welcome to the fuckin show

[@RADIndustries]

It’s gonna be fun man, sorry it took me so long

[@mightyeye4624]

Watching this while sitting in my sc400. That Graphic at the intro is 🔥

[@silversentrav]

Looking forward to this build, Seeing more and more SC/Soarer videos. Makes it easy to work on it, I just wish more parts were easier to find for it.

[@williamguldager]

Finally some sc love!!!!

[@amoj2188]

I would say this should be a drift week spec. Simple, fast and last longer on that trip event.

[@DarkLayerz]

Sitting in my sc300 watching this ❤️ I waited for this day

[@catchmp82]

Simple seat time sc.... sick RD.

[@tommysullivan355]

Sick! Following the build & the GIFs are hilarious

[@notyourmomsmiata]

i have an NA-t sc300 also. Would love to see you go in depth with the ZF trans since my W58 is pretty weak.

[@brendenwhiteley3847]

GM a45 trans bolts up to the jz bellhousing and is essentially the same design as an r154. Pull one from a chevy colorado or pontiac solstice and toss it in.

[@alphadog6114]

brenden whiteley are you serious? I was thinking about cd009 but an adapter is expensive...

[@notyourmomsmiata]

brenden whiteley i know there’s an ar5 swap but I’ve seen no evidence that it can hold the torque I want

[@Triplenickelmotorsports]

lots of us building NAT and will love to see you build this. I hate to say it but most of my 2J parts have come from junkyard SC300s and GS300s. maybe a couple of IS300s also... I have a junkyard 2J problem

[@RADIndustries]

That’s a great problem to have in my opinion, such a great engine

[@rockybest4155]

DRIFT WEEK!!! Pleaseee

[@jalba7361]

Yes!!!!! About time, poor man's soup!!!!!

[@mndlessdrwer]

I always liked this car and thought it was underappreciated. It can be coerced into making good power and it looks good and drives well. Plus, as you've clearly experienced, Toyota reliability is very strong with these cars, partly because they're naturally aspirated, but partly because Toyota just over-engineers the crap out of their vehicles so they tend to last forever until you finally force it to make enough power to crack the block or grenade the transmission or diff. I'd probably go with an electronic diff that you can flip a switch to lock out for drifting but re-enable for driving to wherever you need to go so it doesn't wreck your tires and try to toss you into a ditch or something, but that goes a bit counter to the "cheap as hell" build approach. Should be interesting and the ability to fit Supra drivetrain parts makes this a far more viable car due to the intense aftermarket love for the Supra. Love the absolutely massive trunk as well. I find it hilarious that this feature was 100% a luxury selling point at the time they made this thing.

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Rad Dan building a simple seat time stallion. Nice.

[@RADIndustries]

🙌🏻

[@yung-qn9nt]

great choice for a seat time car and a nice car for next drift week. Some nice wheels maybe some black wrap on the hood, roof, and trunk and its good to go looks wise.

[@RADIndustries]

Yep yep

[@AustinKamuela]

Can't wait for this build process, itll help me when start building a toyota soarer for my personal channel

[@RADIndustries]

I’ll cover the important stuff

[@philipmartin7028]

Love ur vids keep them coming and looking forward to seeing the build

[@kylemorris5180]

I have a sc400 this is gonna be great

[@bengeisser]

Yes!! I can’t wait for more videos in this series! This is going to be the best simple seat time car and a great car for Renee to learn in. Can’t wait for those lessons too!

[@RADIndustries]

Me and you too dude

[@Mustardmartin]

Ive been waiting for this exact day and am sure in a past life this has happened ten times in this setting because i assumed this was all ready done at least once or twice. Great stuff. Watch there is gonna be a band wagon a comin through.

[@RADIndustries]

I’m sure there will be. I hope they don’t go up in value soon

[@damianhartigan4]

This should be fully sick brother. Keep up the great work

[@RADIndustries]

Thanks dude, I’ll try my best

[@cichandler833]

Odd I started looking at these recently for drifting 😳 cant wait to learn it!

[@RADIndustries]

I’ll show you guys what I do. Hopefully it helps

[@mikeyybeatss]

will you cover the zf swap in depth / stock ecu modifications / wiring if needed ? looking to follow a similar path and seems like a manual swap could be fun while stocking parts for the engine build

[@kallicharranroye2873]

I love the sc300

[@zero2death100]

Keep doing what your doing

[@Erickridebikes]

Can't wait for the next videos

[@yung-qn9nt]

Nice going to a fun build series!

[@RADIndustries]

Thanks man

[@justin02239]

SC’s are awesome. I have a fully built one 🔥🔥

[@Buzzbox783]

Really excited for the turbo work.

[@SpiralDrift]

Have a buddy that has an SC400, and his brother just got an SC300. The 400 is already an A group driver, stoked to see what his brother can do with the 300. They're great boats

[@darrenliggett7222]

Yeeeeeeesssssss Dan, been waiting for this for a long time, good man

[@ZX6RRAFA]

Can’t wait !!

[@orlandogonzalez-uw8ps]

I have an SC400 but I am super interested to see what you do with this car.

[@danielabarcada2012]

That’s fire 🔥 new build 💪🏽

[@monstersquashracing]

This is so cool. I cant wait to see it all come together.🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

[@RADIndustries]

Me too dude

[@WiggleTheIndieWeirdo]

Pretty excited for this. Will be watching :) stay RAD

[@thatonejzsupra5035]

👀 ooooo! Is that a Supra with a parachute!!!??? 🤤

[@RADIndustries]

Maybe 😉

[@blakenflams]

motivating me hella hard to get my SC drift spec

[@Tanner731]

I wanna see you weld the diff and drift it without the manual swap at least once, the haggard garage guys used to drift a gs300 with an auto and a NA 2j and actually did really good

[@ferdis7]

Hell yeah been waiting for sc content

[@RADIndustries]

It’s coming 😎 man. I think this build is gonna be so fun

[@Димас-л8ы]

As a 1j sc owner, I am very excited to watch this get built and drifted by an FD driver

[@CIG-99]

I'm excited

[@ripnsoar]

Sc are the best!!!

[@juiceflippin24]

I'm liking this idea for a beater drifter.. thanks maing good idea😱😱🚀🚀🥴🎯🎯🚀😱🛢️🛢️🛢️💪

[@pinoyboimikey]

Don’t forget to relocate the wire harness above the front driver wheel well. Very important when lowering the SC. Don’t want the tire eating through your harness

[@RADIndustries]

Yeah, same as the Supras

[@silverbackgarage2422]

I do remember with some of the zf gearboxes from BMW that they are 1:1 5th gear so cruising will be very high rpm Just a thought looking forward to it I have a soarer with similar plans to this

[@Haramblit]

Love this idea dan!!! If you have stock gte rods laying around you may as well throw them in when you go turbo! I have a is300 and I’m going gte rods and pistons in my ge and boosting it with a FFIM

[@fredkennedy8435]

YES! Finally something I can sink my teeth into... not because I'm an SC fan... I just don't have 50-100k to spend on a toy.

[@RADIndustries]

Ok cool, this is gonna a super fun build too. Can’t wait

[@Srjr0122]

I need a na-t build by Dan I need to learn some stuff because I want to build one

[@wrapattak5850]

Supra with a suit on

[@anthonyciccariello8089]

Are you going to put wisefab on it

[@RADIndustries]

🤫

[@T4sho3]

When are you going to Adams or Grange.........I want to roll with! I drive my drift car to all events like you want to......it's not bad at all and you don't have to bring much

[@RADIndustries]

I’ll put it on my IG or at least my story next time I’m out at Adams

[@T4sho3]

@@RADIndustries Awesome! Thanks for getting back to me, looking forward to the build. Keep up the great content 🔥

[@adriane7841]

When will this become the backup to baby blue for formula drift?

[@RADIndustries]

Noooooo 😂

[@11onejay]

The sc is a heavy girl. I went with the is300 but I can all ready tell the engine bay is going to be a pain when it comes to fitment -_-. How do u like the zf trans? Im doing a cd009 swap but I've been thibking about thr zf maybe.

[@RADIndustries]

I haven’t drifted it yet with this car but when I drove a few others I liked them

[@HPChasers]

Stoked man. Can’t wait to tandem with you!

[@RADIndustries]

It’s gonna be fun

[@bef5582]

If you want to drive it around and go to the track an isnt an lsd would be better than a welded diff?

[@RADIndustries]

Yeah, but welded is easy and cheap

[@wrx_mike4489]

can u do a little stance build for drifting if uk what i mean

[@RADIndustries]

I’m gonna have to wait on the stance build, I need this one to be super functional too

[@supraculture]

Awesome Dan! 👍 Names for the SC; Lassie, Goldie or Goldylocks 🤷‍♂️🤣

[@RADIndustries]

Goldilocks is a good one Andrew 😂. Only problem is I may paint the car in the future and if I do it will be black

[@supraculture]

@@RADIndustries you can keep the engine bay Gold.🤔😁

[@Vgk36]

Fook YEAH !!!!!! CANT WAIT TO SEE IT RIP

[@pyrosrockthisworld]

I was really hoping you would do a more budget angle set-up. show us how to make budget angle! I cant find anything for these!

[@RADIndustries]

Ok, I’ll talk about a budget angle kit on the SC300 knuckles and show you guys how it’s done and how to replicate it. I have some modified knuckles I’ll film as well

[@leehumphrey3750]

You can do drift week in it maybe ?????

[@Conker999]

"Uglier than the supra" it grows on you more and more the longer you own it

[@RADIndustries]

I love it already dude. I know what you mean

[@Conker999]

@@RADIndustries yessir. New subscriber from the SC community ill be keeping up with the build 🤝🏽

[@Yernaritsbarry]

I like the plans for car. Would be cool with some ITBs and higher revs just to keep it true NA and simple. Would sound sic aswell. They sell nice ones at EFI hardware here in Australia where I am. Maybe nitrous aswell lol ? I do agree your plans are good 1 set of tires and less work is a win

[@jackelliott861]

Why not use the gs300 automatic with button shift

[@indy6404]

Loved my na sc300 they handle great only issue was the weight would swing the rear end super hard on Transition but even then let's you drive at lock all the time 🤷

[@RADIndustries]

Yeah, Supras are similar

[@joshlahman3277]

Big Blue, Baby Blue, and Granny Gold

[@TheSami0123]

Nice Project!! You should 1uz VVTI SWAP IT, it is a very good, cheap and reliable platform !!!

[@RADIndustries]

Keeping it 2JZ in this one

[@orlandogonzalez-uw8ps]

Wishful thinking, but I think this build is going to motivate some SC love and raise the values. Or, it will be a great build series that will be fun to watch no matter what.

[@RADIndustries]

I can guarantee it will make it hard to get them in the near future for the price they are now. This always happens, I hate being part of something that raises the price of a good car that’s currently a tad underrated. But it is what it is. I’m going to find one more before they become hard to find for cheap

[@HallowellsSpeedShop]

Fuuuuuck yes, hopefully I’ll get to tandem with you in my SC next time you make it to Desert Meihan 🙏🏼 Also don’t forget to relocate the wiring harness by the drivers fender well.

[@RADIndustries]

We will definitely do some tandems

[@cmamsler]

Talk about the difference in the engines between Supra engines and the 300 engine. Like u said they have weaker rods. What else should we know

[@ozarkscarguy540]

The bottom end is the same except the supra has oil squirters in the block and sc300 doesnt. The head is completely different and the sc300 has a thinner head gasket.

[@RADIndustries]

It’s not a difference between a Supra and SC300. It’s more of difference between a GE and a GTE and then the third difference is the non VVTI GE. Lots of details but not to hard to remember. GTE is the turbo block with lower compression pistons and thicker rods and oil squirters. Non VVTI GE motors has thick rods like the GTE motors but had higher compression pistons and no squirters, then when the vvti GE came out in 98 they put thinner rods in these motors. All JZs share the same cranks. the GE motors all have single layer head gaskets. There are a few other details too but this should cover most of the questions you had

[@cmamsler]

RAD Industries PERFECT! I didn’t know any of this!!

[@cmamsler]

RAD Industries have you even done a KZbin live where u just talk about jz knowledge? Everyone can submit questions! Or a KZbin live of answering driving questions or even business questions. You got a lot of knowledge in that head, I know we all would love to learn

[@noridawheeler]

drift week 2021????

[@RADIndustries]

Most likely

[@ozarkscarguy540]

I just bought a $500 sc300 with this exact purpose. I'll be following and probably building along with you. Is the bmw trans the cheapest sturdy option? I'm also cursed with an automatic

[@RADIndustries]

It’s definitely the cheapest, it will last with a little power but if you went up to 450 and drift it hard with a heavy car like these SCs are don’t expect them to last very long

[@edgage590]

Crazy question - why does it look like the lift (red one) on the left has flames coming from it or is it on fire lol.....

[@justar6865]

Let's be honest after the budget build your gonna make it crazy in a good way

[@theblackthunder]

Can I buy the gated shifter with the pigtails?

[@RADIndustries]

Yes sir, the easiest way for you to get ahold of me for this part is to DM after you see the video of it coming apart. I’m guessing it will be in a few weeks

[@theblackthunder]

@@RADIndustries Appreciate it sir and I will be messaging you about it whenever that time comes.

[@Alientraveler003]

You sead you will wire up the engine with a harness made by you .. A lot of the internet wireing info is for the VVTi engine ,, the non VVTi engine is hard to find the wireing info. can you make a video on the basic wireing for this engine thank you for your time

[@RADIndustries]

If I do the rewire it will be a complete new engine harness though

[@danino66]

Call it “Granny” and keep it brown lol 😁

[@christianaramayo3654]

Please please please please please PLEASE!!! Document as much as possible!!! I have a GS300 01 model and I need to know what you do and how you do it!!!!

[@RADIndustries]

I’ll do my best to cover everything

[@griffinjg2063]

I am thinking about buying an sc300 for my first car do y'all think that's a good idea

[@RADIndustries]

Yes sir, it’s a Toyota and they are super reliable

[@medievalpossum6504]

I love the sc’s but they’re expensive around me

[@huckhuckhuck]

That hood and roof could easily be fixed with a quick flat black rattle can paint job.

[@RADIndustries]

I’m thinking the whole car should be flat black.

[@huckhuckhuck]

@@RADIndustries you're not wrong in that thought process!

[@guzman7590]

Would this build be doable with an is300? I just want to make it have more power bc it’s kind of slow

[@uscrunch]

Swweeet!!!

[@michaelr5545]

Buy the MVP Motorsports header or CX racing header. I know CX has a bad rep their header actually has stepped primaries and a nice merged collector. Only $300!

[@rickymathis1792]

Had to stop thinking about how much power you can run in it😂😂😂
