Default Can anyone in Japan or the middle east help me?

I am trying to track down a rear end, pumpkin and the gears from a gs350.

I have had no luck emailing import companies, does anyone know of a wrecker in these regions or of a specialist who can track one down?


I need the 350 rear end because i want to drop the gearing on my gs460, and i would like jdm or middle east spec one for the lsd.



Thanks!

We don't have 350's here due to their DFI engines. Would a rear end from a 300 fit?
We import 300's, 430 and 460's here only!

I know the IS guys have used the IS300 on their IS350's. So im assuming the IS diff is the same as the GS

The gs 300 will not work, the gear racie is 3.91, a little to low for me. But the gs430 has a 3.77 which is perfect!
