Did I mention 6 speed?
Looks like something chubaca would reproduce but the parts used and work is impressive.

Pretty sure we've seen this one before. I don't think they cleared all the dummy lights either

Just as a reality check- the one working 2JZ swap into a 250 done in the US, the guy who did it estimated $30,000 for labor alone to replicate the project. And he still had 2 lights on the dash that'd never go away (TRAC and VSC)

(Last I heard the complete car was selling for $45,000- a bargain if that labor quote is accurate)

Ya I know but at 11 pages long none of the new people were going to sit through it.

Kurtz do you know that we the forum here love you right ?

This one was built overseas but it is a perfectely functional swap, they even mention keeping it at 620hp to keep the reliability.
The one in Florida is also perfectly working, if you dont believe me come check it out yourself.
A fellow is300 owner's mom also drives a 700hp 2JZ IS250 as a daily driver and is also working perfectly fine.

Maybe it's just me, but if I am swapping a 2JZ tied with a 6sp transmission the LAST thing I give a crap about is (TRAC-VSC) probably because even if they worked the damn thing wouldnt have traction ANYWAY LOL
