Default New Lexus GS300 Owner

Picked up a super clean 99 GS300. Pretty damn clean only thing missing is driver side, side marker (already ordered be here tues).

So far looking into wheels / bagging and already bought a double din touch screen.

Must say enjoying luxury much more than sports car life style. Also looking into NA-T setup could be fun to piece a kit together.

I'm in Brevard county (Palm Bay). I'm looking at wheels and suspension options for it now.

So how easy are the Aristo 2JZGTE VVTi swaps on these cars? I'm assuming its straight forward since it is the same motor essentially. I was thinking about boosting the NA but putting the proper motor in the car designed for boost would be much easier plus lower miles.

I come from Nissan I had a 1998 Nissan 240sx with S14 SR20 that I put in it.

Aristo swap is pretty easy. You'll need to run 1 wire for the tach. You are better off swapping in the Aristo vs. boosting the GE in your car. 1999 models had much weaker rods. I'd have the trans built if you plan on making more than 400whp.
