Default WTB: 98-05 GS300 w/2jz swap

Hey guys I'm new here, actually this is my first post. I've been looking and researching for a new car. My last car was a 89 Mustang 5.0 Vert, a guy wasn't paying attension and t-boned me and I went head on into a tree. So after all that that brought I'm looking for a new to me car. I've always loved supra's but didn't like that its only a 2seater and so small, so that bring me to the next best thing. 4 door luxury with a supra motor ... Anyways

Looking for 2nd gen GS300, good condition with a 2jzgte supra swap done the right way, big single prefered but twins is great also. Obviously I'm looking for the cleanest car out there that fits what I'm spending...

Looking to spend Under $20k

Either reply to this thread, PM, Email - pshannon68@yahoo.com, or text me 301-792-1234
Also I listed this in MD but I'm willing to pick up anywhere on the east coast or also for the right car anywhere else, I'd pay to have it shipped or fly out and drive back etc.. Please show me what you have.

I do not honestly think that you'll be able to find a clean swapped GTE aristo motor GS for less than $20k. But if you're ever interested in a custom supercharged GS300 that's built, I might be willing to sell mine in the range you're looking to spend.

I think you can find one for under 20k, the thing is they are not as common as swapped SC's and the few people that do have GTE swapped 2nd gen GS's normally go all out and their cars are past the 20k mark.. but every once and awhile i have seen a basic swapped GTE GS on here..

with 20k i think your best bet would be to get a clean GS to start with and swap it yourself..

I have an extra GS and a spare 2JZ-GTE VVTi in the garage that I can drop in. I'll sell that setup for $20k if you're interested. Will have a billet wheel Precision PT6765SP turbo with built auto transmission, and it will have no CEL and still pass emissions

It's a 2004 GS300 with about 80k on the chassis. If you're interested, I can drop the motor in the car and have it ready in 2-3 weeks.

Can you send me some pics of the car? What type of power would that setup make?

Yeah i'm looking also at just getting a car and doing the motor myself and making the car what I want. I want a 480+whp daily, is that too much to ask??

Check this thread out, we just posted it a few days ago. It doesn't have a swap but we can definitely have it done for you. We have a 2jz GTE sitting here in the shop and a Turbonetics GTK turbo. Do some research on our company and you'll see that we are one of the most experienced shops in So. Cal.

I have a 1998 gs400 that has the 2jzgte vvti swap the a/c works powersteering works, fmic, greddy bcc, hks sld 2, blitz dsbc, fuel pump upgraded, tein superstreet suspension on 19inch ssr sp1 professors. I would let it go for 15k because its still on twins runs great. I'm just throwing it out there I'm sure there are other that have more crazier setups but your gonna pay.

Zeb, if you can get your car down to Underground racing in charlotte, I know that John Reed will be down there to tune my friends TT Gallardo in early January. What EMS system are you running? He can tune pretty much any EMS system ranging from Motec, VPro, AEM, and pectel. His price and reputation as a tuner speaks for himself.
