You might want to try a colder plug to remedy the spark breakdown, I noticed a smaller gap of .25 on my swap made a big difference with spark blowout. Especially if I was running more then 18psi.

My AFR's were between 10.5-11.0 so I think that is about the norm on the stock ecu at WOT.

Nice work on the swap and the YouTube videos.

Puff I have always wanted to see NY fly me over and ill fit your paddles for you and while im there what ever else you need ;-)
YaKuZa_GS my gs never came with e-shift its was a very easy install and I found the ecu pin outs and tapped into them
xStayTuned I used a walbro 255 intank and a sard jetpump killer I fitted a bulk head fitting to the top og the plastic housing. I ran a new -6 line as a feed and used the factory line as my return

can you share the ECU pinouts and did you just make a plug from the paddle shifters and then run said plug to the ECU? any issues over the years? i always wondered why the GS430 didnt have E-shift, also you dont have a manual mode on your dash cluster so do you just leave it in drive?

Sad day for GS430 owners...

No GS430 ECU had e-shift. I don't suppose an SC430 is similar enough eh? Even then, any ECU swap would require re-keying the ignition right?

I know, how come the top of the line model doesn't have something the middle/bottom model did. yes that would require re-keying but I don't think the shift ecu is the same ecu so there maybe some hope. I really wish they offered a manual version its so stupid. I would love my car with a manual in it

Serial Nine has put a CD009 (Nissan 6-speed) into an LS400 and an IS300, now they are working on an Aristo, so there is something in the works for our cars. We'll need our own solution for pedals though, since the Aristo is from the mirror dimension.

I wouldn't give Gerald or Serial9 a penny after what they did to the Cressida group back in the day. there was a few solutions for the V8's a few years ago I wanna say Caowboy had some and a vendor put out almost everything we needed

pedal assembly is a non issue as a lot of people have done this swap into a Gs already
