Default 3GS Drifting
I rarely frequent the 3rd Gen GS forum, but I thought this was a cool thing to post up. Sorry if it's a repost!

I don't like it at all there is nothing GS350 left out of it expect the outter body, i consider this a waist of money to make. Also he popped a drive shaft, some cars aren't meant for certain things. Nice find

IMHO i think its a great build! if any of us saw it on the road we wouldnt think anything of it except the fact it needs a drop to be "hellaflush"! the 2jz is a native engine to the toyota family so its not like its a frankenstein build! its super clean and has the power to match! personally i would this duel the HKS sponsored aristo!

One thing's for sure with this GS is that there will finally be a 3GS with no valve spring issue or carbon build-up! Just saying.

what i want to know is, can you drop a turbo in without an ecu retune, or did they use a stand alone ecu replacement with the turbo?

btw, the kit is very familiar looking, but i can't remember the brandname.

I can guarantee you that most of the factory 3GS electronics are gone, if not all.

What I want to know is, how is the power steering done on this since it's electronic on the 3GS.

If the JDM GS has turbo model, you could possibly get an engine/ECU from one of those cars. It should be an easy swap. I remember they had those set ups in the 2GS.
