1jz, big single, and CD009 six speed GS300
So after 7 years of owning my gs300 Im finally gonna get serious about building it. Recently purchased the collins gs300 a340 cd009 swap kit for the first gen, I searched online and couldnt find anyone running it so I figured I would be the guinea pig.
This is the link to the kit if anyone is interested http://collinsadapters.com/index.php...ation-kit.html
One thing to note is that Collins customer service leaves alot to be desired before I purchased the kit I had a few questions about what was included since the website didnt disclose that info it was just a copy and paste job from the sc300 kit and it didnt really make sense (it has since been updated a few times and more understandable). Out of 4 questions I would email him he would vaguely answer one in a single sentence which was so frustrating since I was willing to drop the 2k for the kit the moment he answered my questions but with each email I was doubting sending him my money.
Anyways enough with my review of their customer service and lets get into what came in the kit.
Here is a picture of the 1jz thats going in and the CD009
As for the shifter I went with the serial nine CD999 (currently on back order, have been waiting over a month so far)
The only picture I have of my gs at the moment

I'm gonna run Aristo harness and 2jzgte ECU on the 1jz, supposedly the engine was making 400hp before it was pulled so it should be a little faster than stock lol

Do you have any pictures of the shifter relocation adapter? I see them mention it but don't see it as an option when you order it and I don't see any pictures. I am using the Maverick motorsports adapter plate so I guess I'm adding length to the completed assembly. While this swaps out the bellhousing, It looks like the bell housing adapter ultimately makes the assembly longer anyway. I guess I'm just wondering if I can use that same crossmember or if I should just modify the existing one. I'm also curious where the stock CD009 shifter is going to sit in the car as is.

Thanks for the responses. For that serial 9 CD999 shifter relocation kit, would you still need the stock u-joint piece to get that to mate up to the transmission? The stock one has a little u-joint that lines up on the shifter rod and then you drive in a roll pin to join the two. I'm assuming this one is something like that because I see a sleeve on what looks like the shifter linkage. From what I can see anyway, it looks like you have that pieces as well as the transmission mount brackets. I actually don't have those and it looks like I might having to be buying them.
What speedometer solution were you considering? How about the clutch pedal? I'm using the 350Z clutch pedal. I'm having a local fabricator cut my brake pedal down to MT width. Then I'm putting the stock Toyota pedal pads on the brake and clutch pedals so they match. I think I'm going to hook the neutral and reverse switches up to the stock wiring harness to make the reverse lights/buzzer (JZS147 has a buzzer) work. I just haven't quite figured out what to do with the P-R-N-D-2-1 lights on the dashboard. I guess R and N will still work. I was almost considering changing the D-2-1 to be a 1-2-3 and hooking up a ball pen spring as a switch to show which gear I'm in for 1-3. I guess the P could be swapped out for a shift light.

Do you have the pigtail for the Nissan reverse switch? The reverse switch and neutral switch actually both use the same connector. SKU WRS-VQREV http://www.wiringspecialties.com/. Cost me $22 shipped for both.

Yes. For me, its best to have a neutral switch in case I want to wire an auto-start for example or if I want to program the ECU for certain programs like flat-footed shifting.
