Default GS300 & GS400 what's interchangeable?

Hi I'm new to the lexus community I currently own a 1998 GS400 but while taking apart my center to see why I can't go into reverse or park from drive and why I cant come out of park I noticed a plug that didnt have anything to plug into while doing some digging I thought what exactly is interchangeable from the GS300 and the GS400?

Technically everything, they're the same car with different drivetrains. Some parts need other parts from the same model to work, but I think there are very few exceptions as far as parts that would only bolt into one or the other.

Man, I thought they all came with heated seats.
All my years junk yard diving I don’t think I ever saw one w/o em.

Good luck and glad to see the GS4’s trending lately

I'm also looking for wheels and suspension. But there's almost nothing for the GS400 so I'm wondering if I the GS300 parts would work im not going crazy low or trying to fit anything bigger than maybe 17s I am however going wider in the rear I'm going to run the 16x7.5 up front and maybe 16x8 or 16x9 in the rear that's what I'm hoping for any help with suspension and wheels?
