Price for a "stock" 2JZGTE with the Getrag swap is quoted to me at $20K. So this fully build swap should be at least $40K, depends on how exotic of the components the owner choose.

Hope to see more of this car when it is done for sure!!

If you're changing out the entire transmission, adding a clutch, etc. the shifter is the smallest detail you'd be worried about. I guess you could probably keep the shift **** if you really liked it, but the entire plate where the shift gate is would be replaced with a different type and a shift boot.

Welcome to ClubLexus. Do a bit of reading here and you'll find out a lot more about the Aristo. I wouldn't go as far to say it is 'equal to the GS430'... the biggest difference (besides being RHD) being the engine is a I6 vs a V8 (as in the GS430) and is FAR more tuneable as it comes with forced induction. Basically the Supra TT engine in a GS body.

Richie....................I am planning to go see it personally when it is completed. I am sure the car will feature in a few of the import magazine in the future.
loonyrobert3...........here in Southern California, when people do a 2JZGTE swap into a GS300, even if they stay with an auto tranny, they would swap in the Aristo's 4-speeds tranny so the car would run on the Aristo's ECU. The Aristo V300 never got a 5-speed auto, I guess the Supra never did, that is why. To answer your question, yes either manual or auto, they would change the shifter plate.
v300............their plan is to run the 6-speed Getrag with all the proper provisions to accompany the twin GT2835's for 800 HP. Whether it will be successful or not, we will see. But since these kind of project is money no object, it will be done sooner or later. The worse is it will take some time.
As far as I know, in So Cal anyway, this car is the first one with fully build 2JZGTE power and a 6-speed Getrag. Very exciting project indeed.

No, you can't keep it like that. The e-shift (tiptronic) is a function of an AUTOMATIC transmission. The only manual transmission that comes close to doing something like that would be the SMG tranny option in the BMW M3, and there's nothing close to like that for our cars that I'm aware of. Even if you had that, it would be a different gearshift.

Since the MR2 spyder are so unexciting, that is why it is easy to forget about it

Im not too sure about this, but i heard somewhere that one of the wierd quirks about changing an auto to a manual is that u dont have to step on the clutch to start the car when the car is a swap from auto to manual?...im not too sure...but at least thats wat i remember as bein one of the minor differences from a out of the box stick and a auto converted to stick...someone pls correct me if im wrong.
