      Thank you!! I broke the transmission a few months ago at a drift day, I have a new one to replace it, so hopefully more turbo noises again soon 😀

      Thanks man. Can't compete with a 2J (ok maybe a built RB comes close 😅).
      Get the SerialNine OEM+ bushing kit. Looks sick and a little harder than OEM without going overboard. They can handle better than they appear, boats 😂

      The hardest part of probably getting the clutch pedal assembly in place. To make it easier since you're in the states of im not mistaken, look up heat lighting speed shop for the gs300 clutch assembly. Other than that basically need the transmission, a little trim of the gear lever opening in the tunnel and a drive shaft made up to length. Then figure out your handbrake, hydro or retrofit something from like a jzx or a sc300/soarer

      Hey sorry for the late reply. I did it myself, took an R154, custom drive shaft, JZX100 clutch pedal assembly and master cylinder. GB had already been converted to concentric slave from a T56 transmission.
      I'd probably budget 10k of labour and parts if someone were to do it
