You CAN do it but it will be way harder then trying to do it in a GS3. If you are serious about doing it I would just pick up a GS3 and do it in that instead.

I can switch with you if you decide to pick GS3 for your GS4

Motor mounts are different.

Direct drop in on a GS300.

let me clarify that.. Aristo 2JZ 1st gen (JZS147) needs work on the motor mounts for it to work in a 2nd gen. (Bluelex has a 1st gen 2jz in a 2nd gen GS). 2nd Gen Aristo (JZS161) is a direct drop in for the gs300. (BurgundyGS and several other members have this setup).

here's some additional info:

Just use the search function and you should find additional info on it

Dont waste a GS400.. trade it for a GS300.

and be sure to get a FULL front clip of the jzs161. Too many headaches with just a motor set.
