Its an old thread. I haven't seen him actively post in a bit. You have to source everything on your own and fabricate a lot of it. Since the cars never came as a manual its harder to obtain a conversion kit.

re::parts
This conversion is not easy but what I did is found a good cnc machine shop to extend my shift linkage and a good welding to extend my shifter housing. The important thing about this is the angle of the set up is important because it will be difficult to shift at high speeds. U can obtain all parts from driftmotion They can do the extension but the gs300 needs the extension length of 8 inches which requires a 6 inch add on. The total length will equal 8 inches good enough to put you back in the auto opening. Hope this help by the way I used the is300 pedal set up

I would talk to driftmotion. You might be able to ask them to extend the housing they make an extra inch or so to get the distance right.
As for the clutch pedal, that is something you are just going to have to make yourself.

- V160 transmission
- GOOD OIL
- Shifter bushings
- Drift motion differential adapter
- custom 1 piece drive shaft (you need yoke to go into transmission too)
- V160 2jzgte flywheel
- ARP flywheel bolts
- V160 2jzgte clutch disk and pressure plate
- V160 clutch slave
- pounding the hell out of your transmission tunnel
- maybe cutting a new hole or opening the hole where the auto shifter came through.
- center console shift boot cover needs to be created.
- wiring reverse lights and neutral safety switch
Thats the easy part.
You need to now either get a SC300/MK4 or Mk3 supra clutch pedal and corresponding clutch master, remove the stock foot e-brake and pound your firewall flat from the motor side, make a template for your clutch master in a location where your clutch pedal will hang good and cut a hole for the slave and two bolt holes from the template to mount your clutch master. You shouldn't rely on the thin sheet metal fire wall to support the torque from depressing the pedal, and when you install heavier pressure plates so I advise building a bracket that connects to where your stock foot e-brake was. I modified the bracket for my setup and allows it to be fully bolt on.
