Thank you!! I broke the transmission a few months ago at a drift day, I have a new one to replace it, so hopefully more turbo noises again soon 😀

I need more please got a gs430 this was beautiful nice driving as well mate

Hell yeah dude this is pretty cool, sounds so good. My GS needs all new suspension pretty much to even come close to feeling how this looks😂

Thanks man. Can't compete with a 2J (ok maybe a built RB comes close 😅). Get the SerialNine OEM+ bushing kit. Looks sick and a little harder than OEM without going overboard. They can handle better than they appear, boats 😂

@@GrizzlyGarage interesting, I can still see the polyurethane kit which they call the OEM replacement. That's probably the most ideal, you don't wanna go solid at all 😅

The hardest part of probably getting the clutch pedal assembly in place. To make it easier since you're in the states of im not mistaken, look up heat lighting speed shop for the gs300 clutch assembly. Other than that basically need the transmission, a little trim of the gear lever opening in the tunnel and a drive shaft made up to length. Then figure out your handbrake, hydro or retrofit something from like a jzx or a sc300/soarer

I really can't decide between buying a GS 400 or a GS 300, a 2JZ sounds nice but then again, that 1UZ FE is really nice sounding, yeah I think I'll go with the 400

Hey sorry for the late reply. I did it myself, took an R154, custom drive shaft, JZX100 clutch pedal assembly and master cylinder. GB had already been converted to concentric slave from a T56 transmission. I'd probably budget 10k of labour and parts if someone were to do it
