Gs300 aristo engine & tranny swap
I'm also trying to piece together a single conversion. I'm just stuck on what to get. It's my daily right now so when I get it all, it'll have to be a weekend project minus the tuning obviously. I'd like to go standalone but don't know yet if that'll be possible so any suggestions on what the next best thing would be? I have a 00 aristo swapped, bpu

Speaking from experience from a LHD USDM GS300, the Aristo A340E trans should work fine with your GS shifter & gates. Granted the lights on the dash will be a little funky since the GS has an extra gear. If you're having trouble moving the shifter through the gates, recheck the alignment where you're marrying up the shifter to the arm at the top of the transmission. If you're RHD, I don't have experience, but not sure why it wouldn't be an even better match since Aristo's were RHD.

Update
Just got the car back from the shop I have done several more upgrades to the single turbo along with a piggy back ecu. One issue I finally came across that I saw others having an issue with is the fuel gauge. After having to swap my fuel pump assembly it stopped registering the correct amount of fuel. So when it was full the gas gauge was almost touching the top of the temp gauge. So I attempted to tear down my fuel gauge and see if there was a way to adjust it which I couldn’t find a way. So I ended up removing the front cover and discovered the fuel gauge needle just pulls off. So I plugged everything back in and topped off the tank, then turned on the car, so the fuel gauge would adjust back to where it was registering as full. Once I saw it stopped moving I put the needle back on to where it was registering in the correct spot. I assuming this will fix the issue but I will keep updating
