No updates, kinda have a New Years resultion to finish it, it getting tougher as we have been bussier than ever at Grip. Adam im not sure why you would need help with the wiring for just a manual swap as the auto is even more complicated.

Have you seen that 8 second 240Z? Zgad is the guys name, he turned me onto Rick. It's just a part time shop right now as he's full time working on the Space Shuttle, but once he retires the shop will be a full time gig.

too bad our GSs didn't come with 2JZGTE from the get go. Look how clean this is. I'm looking for a V160 or R134 swap in a year once I'm done with school so I'll let you guys know if I do find something from the JDM land. Anywho, this particular one has a R134 with T78 making 600hp!
and found a shop in kanagawa that might be able to do. I might give them a ring and ask details.

Like I said I'm not sure what problems I'm going to run into after converting to 5 speed, there is not much information on the web in reguards to a manual gs30 swap. The only car I've seen completed had replaced all the interior guages, why is that?

don't need to know anything so far, my car is just sitting on the back burner right now, just looking forward to seeing how this car turns out is all. I've never seen a manual gs300 before, I would like to stop in and check it out when its done.

from the address, doesn't seem too far. I lived in Tokyo so i'm not too familiar with 'hama but it's in Tsudsuki-ku. Summit Racing is the one who did the first MT 16 so I might try contacting them.

Hey all newb here. I was looking into a 5 speed swap and gave up cause of the clutch master. There is no room. RHD is easy no angled firewall on the LH side of the brake booster. I am selling my gs for a sc cause of this.
So what did you do? I may keep the car if I can resolve this issue.
I have everything for a 1j swap. I got sc300 pedal assy's.
Please give me some insight. Please!

hi all, i'm a newbie here....i've also been planning to do a manual swap on my 99 gs300 and the only hurdle to overcome was the pedal setup so my thoughts were to do a remote reservoir pedal set from tilton or wilwood but havent found anyone local to me that can install it (factory like) but the original poster of this thread is way ahead of the game,cant wait to see the overall outcome of this project.................
