    I have started researching 3UZ Swap Options for a 2008 IS250 RWD. I know it has been done already but limited info available and most swaps I’ve seen seem to be from Eastern Europe where questions n answers kinda get lost in translation. I found a ALL4SWAP site that offers a remap on the 3UZ to...

    I have a 2002 IS300 and it is a factory manual w55 with a m85 LSD differential. The previous owners did not ever change the fluid from what I can tell and it is leaking fluid now after I changed it and its howling quite loud at me(135k miles on it). As of making this post it has not broken on me...

    I am currently looking at buying a 2jz-ge vvti out of a 2000 gs300, a rod snapped and punched a hole in the block so my current engine is toast. Will there be any issues with swapping it in or will it be nearly plug and play, my main concern is engine and wiring harness issues, can I run the...

    Hello I’ve tried to search but can’t find some one with the same problem as me. So I have had my 1jz vvti swap done for almost a year now. I’m using a the jzs171 ecu with the all4swap CANVerter 2. All the other functions are working but the compressor is not turning on. I can see there is no...

    Hello everyone, I've ordered a JZS171 1jz gte and plan on running the stock 2jz GE harness from my 2002 IS300. From the research I've done, I understand that the IS300 harness is mostly plug and play, but requires a few connectors to be extended (TPS, ECT, and maybe a couple others but I'm not...

    I have a friend from Japan and they used to be in the drifting community there, they said people over there would take the differential, axles and driveshaft out of G37’s and put them in the IS300, I can’t really find much on it and was wondering if anybody else has heard of it or tried it, my...

    I'm coming from the Skyline community and I'm not too familiar with the IS300 chassis at all. I've been looking around at a few different resources and I'm sure I can figure out the minor details. I just wanted opinions on what I should be looking for as a starting point to achieve my end goal...

    Hey all, So in a slight pickle at the moment. I have a 2003 IS300 auto, just put a 1jz-gte VVTi (JZS171) in, sent it to a shop to finish the wiring, but they are hesitant to work on it because they've never done a swap that retained the auto, and are pushing me to a manual swap. I've google'd...

    Hi All, I have a 2005 IS300. Owned it for about 6 years and haven't done much to the engine so far. But I'm thinking of changing things up and adding some power to the car. I've been doing research and I'm stuck between the following options: 1. Slap a turbo on my stock motor (2JZ-GE) Pros...

    Doing a w58 swap on my 02 is300, everything is on right now and started up for first time and realized there was a rough noise when letting out the clutch, realized it was my clutch fork grinding on the pressure plate as I let out clutch. I have a fidanza dual mass flywheel, exedy clutch kit...

    Hi all, first time poster, long time lurker. My w55 is kicking the dirt with second gear gone and first on its way out. I wanted to replace it with the r154 and saw that driftmotion is selling one brand new for 2,800. I am new to the car scene and i am still learning about how things go...

    I'm doing an ar5 swap on my IS and I would really like some input on your experiences with the clutch setup you went with. I spoke with Aaron from driftmotion this morning and that got me rethinking my clutch setup. I was planning on using keeping the factory internal slave setup and using the...

    Okay, so to give some background, I've gone and bought a JVC kw-v660bt, a metra bullet backup cam, LED license plate lights and LED reverse bulbs (to ensure good backup cam vision at night) and I was wondering if anybody has swapped the location of the AC controls and radio, as I have a manual...

    So I plan to do a automatic to manual W58 swap, but ive been looking on peoples swaps and I notice that the shifter is not centered with the is300 shifter area, it looks too far forwards. Is there any way to prevent this? Does the stock manual is300 plastic center piece help? Let me know.

    So... it happened about 2 weeks back, My stock auto trans went cya later on my way to work and spewed trans oil along with me smoking up the whole 401. My guy just got back to me today and apparently the pressure pump inside my trans blew off, This is not my daily driver so it has now come to...
