What are you doing about the driveshaft? Thats where I am stuck. I know I could go custom but I was looking for more factory alternatives

If you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for the w58? Did you get it with a jz bellhousing or was that bought seperately? I was planning on using a pre 95 sc trans as it come with a jz bellhousing

how far are you in the swap process? Do you have the trans mocked up for driveshaft measurements?

Little update: I am going to be picking up a w58 this weekend. Also, I talked to Xcessive Manufacturing and they will be making me a w58 to gs300 crossmember in the next couple of weeks. The only info I still need to know is a driveshaft measurement. Does anyone know of one? Like i mentioned before, I can't install the w58 and take a measurement as this car is my daily driver.

Hey man so the manual swap trans crossmember. Any idea exactly when its gonna be ready?

Additionally any reason why you decided on the mk3 supra pedals? Everything I've read says to just use the is300 clutch pedal.

I'm gonna be using the w58 / clutch / flywheel / driveshaft yokes out of my 92 SC300 once I put the r154 in it.

I am going to be using the mk3 pedals as my buddy has an r154 swapped GS and thats what he went with. This is his car:
I am not sure on when they will be done, they said they will shoot me an email when it is ready. I also was supposed to be picking up a w58 a few weeks back but the seller stopped responding to me and now I'm back at square one trying to source a transmission. Here are some crappy pics of his clutch and brake pedal set up.
