shorten the linkage for the gated shifter.



The funny thing is I won't have this gated shifter for that long before the r154 will be going in . Hopefully about next couple of weeks the 5 speed will be in.


Cant decide what motor set-up I want. I am having a hard time deciding whether I wanna go na-t or 1jzgte. I know the 2jz has quite a bit of miles on it, but I kinda see how long it will last on mild boost around 15psi

shifter is done everything works beside the ECT. I still need to figure the wiring out on the ect but beside that its all smooth and works great. Still waiting on parts to come in for my r154 swap. hopefully I will get the driveshaft soon from a member here.

almost done gathering all of the parts for the r154 swap. sadly I will be selling my 2006 gs430 and I will make this sc into my daily. With that being said I highly doubt the 1jz swap will come anytime soon. More concern with putting the r154 in my car. Just missing the flywheel. The a/c line in the front was rubbing on the frame. Just ordered that and she will be great at 215k miles to be my daily driver.

The build has been on hold for a while now but it's slowly back on track. My wife gave birth to our first daughter everything has just been put on the back burner. I managed to get some time in between her naps to install the tranny and remove the back housing to gain access to the shifter linkage. Now I have to find someone to weld up the linkage.
