My SC300 2JZGTE swap - Slow Build!
 
5 Attachment(s)
Completed! Pix on page #7!


Here is my new 1995 SC300 5spd Black on Black! I recently sold my mint 1996 SR powered S14. Before that I had a 2004 Z33 Black on black manual With V2 Nismo kit and Gold Volk GTC's etc..
This is to fill the void that those cars left. The Z was a torque fiend and the S14 was a fun car to toss around town. For this car I'm looking for some comfort as the Z and S14 took a toll on my lower back.
Well this cars seats are surely comfortable but f man they don't hold for crap. So will be changing out the seats soon. More importantly the power plant will be the focus of the first phase. Second phase will consist of suspension and grip. Third phase will consist of paint and body restoration.

Was initially gonna go for a 1JZ swap but after some time the motorset i wanted was sold. So this left me not many options. So here she is a 92-96 2JZGTE from an Aristo complete with harness and ECU! More to come as time passes as will the questions :)

Basics:
Will keep W58 for now
Will keep Stock twins for now
Would like to keep AC

No time frame as of yet. But hope to pull the motor in the next few weeks to get the harness started. Thanks 97-SC300

It is always good to hear that people are continuing to do these swaps, after it has been so many times. The other issue is, is that I want to continue to read about them. Good luck with it. You wont be dissapointed with the 2JZ, whatsoever.

Will keep all posted for sure gents... Took me a year to pull the trigger after spending countless hours bumping into then reading this section while being a member originally for my GS300 :) Now proud owner of both a GS and SC..

Nothing wrong with either of those vehicle choices.

In case any was wondering the shift knob is Kazama from frsport. Feels excellent and priced well. Just don't put the sticker on it till it is super tight.. This is second time i did this and have a crooked looking emblem lol.
