Thanks for those searches, glad you were intrested. But Yeah, in the begining of this ordeal, I wanted to get a manual tranny, but soon found out after 20 mins. of research that they don't make manual tranny's for ls400. So I was thinking about getting one from an IS300 or something.
And about that 2jz, my pal found it on the net, but he's not online at the moment, but once he does, I'll ask for the link and post it here.
EDIT : Oh and how you said I'm drifting the wrong lexus, I know what you mean, but the thing is I'm 16 years old, and I got this car from my father. Or I could take my moms RX300? Lol, yea right. But my dad is going to be buying an sc430, and that i'd love to take for a spin.Comment

Thank you for proving my point about your maturity. I've had three names on this forum so this is hardly my first post. At any rate, what does post number have to do with anything? Do you feel that higher post number makes you superior or somehow more knowledgable about cars, or life in general? Where is Ghost, I get the feeling that he would side with me though in a more subtle fashion. Get a grip kid, that's fine that you're getting your permit but it means nothing to a person who has a job, a car and a license. I've had mine for about 12 years, how long have you had your-...oh, sorry, almost going to get your permit, right?Originally posted by Velvet
I think its hilarious how you come to drifting.com and your first post is a flame over something you was never involved in. I think you should mind your own buisiness.
And by the way, I am 16 and getting my permit tomarrow. I know alot more about cars than the average 16 year old New Yorker.Comment

But I can see where he is coming from, he didn't know you've had multiple names so cant rag on him for not knowing that. And usually when a newer guy comes to a forum they will tkae people's advice that have more posts, hence have been around longer and should be fairly Knowledgeable..Should..

Do you really think you are better than me? Just becuase you have the car, the job and more knowledge than myself doesnt make you one bit better than me. We both have the same passion for cars and the only difference between us if that we are at different stages. Just because you got to you point doesnt mean that you have to act like a total smart@$$ to the youngins. Wernt you a kid who liked cars also? I know that I have a long road ahead of me and Im ready for it. When it comes to cars in not some snotnoesd kid who watches Initial D all day and plays Grand Turismo. Cars are something that I take very seriously and at my age I have decided that I want to make a living working with them. After hightschool Im planning to going to Wyotech so my knowledge of cars will vastly increase. You may think youre all big **censored** today but one day I will have a job in the automotive industry, and I will have a car as well as a licence. And when I hit that stage in my life I wont come to forums like this and flame little kids like yourself but educate and incourage them in the automotive industry.
Now lets get back to the LS400 please!Comment

Yes,
please do get back to my subject. If you little kiddies want to start flamming eachother, don't do it on the forums. Sorry Velvet, I'm not aiming this at you, I would of said the same thing, but I just hate when people start fights over little things. I'm glad that will be your last post to him, obviously they haven't been acting their ages. Now, that is over, we all love eachother! And move on!Comment

I have a question rwd Polak, after you do the swap are you gonna go for the VIP look: deep dish rims, widebodykit, dark paint?Comment

Funny you asked that,
I was going to try and get the deep dishes on my car, but I haven't seen any 18's? I'd love some twankie deeps.
But coming back to reality, I was just checking out the lexus owners of america forum, and they have body kits for everyyear for the ls! I was thinking... thinking (don't flame me!!!!!) about getting this one which fits your quetion :
Awsome eh!?Comment

Chances are your buddy has found just a longblock, you would still need injectors, fuel rails, manifolds, sensors, turbos, intercoolers, custom piping, custom wiring, an ecu (or standalone) etc etc. Like someone mentioned before, you're easily looking at over $4000 in parts. If you are dead set on getting a 2jz-gte engine/tranny in, get a front clip from a US-spec 93-98 supra turbo (the JDM MKIV's came with less power and some inferior parts -- ceramic turbos, smaller injectors etc)Originally posted by rwd polak

But if all you really want is a manual transmission, then just convert it -- it will be seriously much much easier and the Lexus V8 makes plenty of power. Here's a good link to get you going should you decide to go this route: http://www.lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1279Comment

Thats what im talking about, Junction Produce is one of the best when it comes to VIP. But if you do decide to get that body kit be extra careful when drifting it cuz those kits are a bit expensive.Originally posted by rwd polak

Ah yes,
that would be the last thing I get for my car, becuase rather then putting a kit on it, I'd say I'll just lower it some, and possibly a front lip.Comment

Let's stop the hate...
I think you'll have to use the tranny that comes with the 2JZ... Even if the LS came with a manual tranny, you'll have fun converting it to match...
Anyways,

Is it possible that the JDM version of the LS400, the Celsior, come with a optional manual?Comment

Toyota has not, to date, made a manual transmission that bolts directly to any UZ block. Every SC400, GS400, LS400, V8 Tundra, etc comes with an automaticOriginally posted by Velvet
