    Hey everyone, I'm new to this website. I'd like some advice. I've always loved driving manual cars. I've been wanting for a while now to manual swap mine. it's a 2001 IS300. I've been leaning towards the CD009 swap from Serial nine. Has anyone else done this swap before? Any advice? or videos...

    Im actually going to write here because i couldnt find an answer anywhere to solve my issue. Im giving every cred to marko.dodo who helped me figure out the wires. Okey lets talk about this. I manual swapped my is300 with a r154 gearbox and tricked the ecu by wiring speed sensors and tricking...

    As you may have seen from my past post I had a lot of issues with the collins CD009 kit. I’ve been using the car almost every day and it’s been okay. I did change to a 5/8 master but it still feel like the clutch won’t release from time to time but whatever, I need a twin disk so I’m not going...

    So last weekend I finally got the CD swap in from collins, it’s a brand new CD00A, with a “stage 3” clutch, Collins Lightwheight flywheel/short shifter, and an xcessive pedal with a willwood master. The pedal sucks, way stiff, and grabs right up top and is an on off switch. Car is terrible to...

    Build thread coming this week, really been procrastinating that. I want to manual swap my 02 beforedropping in the built motor, also I’m still waiting on my fuel system goodies so I can’t do the motor yet anyways. I have a Collins full swap kit for the CD, looks like a sweet kit. Can I jump the...

    Hi guys I’m thinking of manual swapping a is200 executive and I was just wondering if there is anyway that I can do the swap but keep the cruise control working and if I should swap out the ecu thanks

    I’m doing an R154 swap and I need the measurement from the output shaft to the stock auto lsd differential. Does anyone happen to know this measurement. I’d rather not wait until I have the trans in and have to wait on the driveshaft.

    Hello all. I am currently running into this issue with my manual swapped 01 IS300. I am running an ATEMU without the resistors. The car runs amazing until it throws a P0500 code. Once it throws this code I lose a lot of throttle response and the car will hesitate for a second if I mash the...

    Hey I just picked up a w55 for my 04 is300 sport design the w55 has a different bell housing (not for the 2j) so I was wondering what exact bell housings will fit on the w55 and if there will be issues if I use a w58 housing

    has anyone used the hks f-con v pro piggy back? i plan on manual swapping, boosting, and gte converting. any recommendations??
  13. Go Fast Stuff
    Yes I have searched this, but many of the threads I had found already have a w55 that they blew up before doing this swap, and just swap that rear onto the w58, and use the w55 driveshaft, which skips the scenario where you don’t have a w55 trans already. Hi all, I have been on this page for a...
  14. Basic Help & Repair
    Hoping someone is able to help me with my issue🤞🏻 Recently I manual swapped my Is300 and it turns over but does not start. It gets fuel but no spark, I put brand new coil packs, plug wires and spark plugs. What I have found is that the coil packs aren’t getting power because I tested each...

    Does the W56 W57 and W58 fit the 2JZGE ? Which ones are relatively cheaper and can handle good hp and torque? Is J160 a good option for 400whp IS300 Are there any other alternatives, I heard a lot about R154 and V160. Thanks in advance.
  16. Basic Help & Repair
    So I have a 2002 is300 it's auto and I recently bought two w59 transmissions. (killer deal) i4 have heard a 2jz/w58 bellhousing will bolt up and should be the same thing basically just different gear ratios. Also the shifter housing is in a different spot. Would anyone be able to help me out...

    So I am wanting to use a cube speed shifter with the 90 degree bend in it for my w58. I was wondering what rubber boot and shift boot i could use that would fit properly? Because I know i am going to have to cut a bit of the shifter tunnel out because the shifter housing will sit too close to...
  18. General Discussion
    So im know that the W58 with the tripod shifter sits too far back on the is300 but is there a company that makes a shifter that has a bend in it to make it sit in the center?
  19. General Discussion
    Theres a W58 from a sc300 with a remote shifter, so if I just change out the remote shifter with a correct tailhousing like one from xcessive manufacturing, would that work? And also be in the correct shifter position?
