    Dude I want a ls400. I drive a 350z for my daily and miata for drift but this looks fun and easy swap. Ls400 are dirt cheap here in Florida. I think I'm getting into an ls400. I subbed good video!

      @nonamus9947 Před 3 lety

      I would get a GS400/430 or a SC400/430 if the V8 interests you much, the GS400 or SC400 would be the best since they both are meant to be a little more sporty

    you're doing a great job if you could specify brands bolt sizes possible companies that we can buy stuff from that would be awesome maybe after you get it going you can get a white board and write down everything you guys did from Star to finish

    P.S. What wing is that??? I really like that style!

    • @TheMADKILZ
      @TheMADKILZ Před 4 lety

      Stock is300s come with a w58 but they're really weak from what I've heard, I would shoot for the r154 as it seems to be a much better trans.

      @alannieuwboer4887 Před rokem

      Do you have the UCF20 or UCF21? The UCF20 (1995-1997) share the same engine (1uz non-VVTI) whereas the UCF21 have the 1uz VVTI. Now I do not know if the VVTI 1uz has a different bell-housing bolt pattern, but it should still be possible!
