This week, Jack has a hankering for something 2JZ-powered. While we can't get any turbo JDM legends like a Supra or a Soarer, we might just find the deal of a lifetime and overpay healthily for a 2JZ with nearly a quarter of a million miles on it.

We need a shared challenge between CT, AutoAlex and DriveTribe on who could get the best shitbox.
Drivetribe Sux
@@buildatrap but V10 Miata E60 M5 and ST200 Mondeo tho 🥵
This!!!
Alex and Drivetribe have both bought shitbox Jags, so that seems like a good way to go for a colab
yes, and then trackbuilddailydriver🤣🤣
loved the Alex joke at the start. its a shame he's not part of the channel anymore. but i do think Jack has taken the lead role very well, he's a natural
Alex left the channel? Why?
@@valiokeys Probably wasn't happy. He made a new one, @AutoalexCars
@@CasualRicer /money
@@rorypuds its not greed the world relies on money plus hes done absolutely amazing
@@camsty1225 Yh its not greed lol but it is money, he realised he can make his own channel with an editor/camerman and not have to pay it up to a parent company, makes perfect sense.
"Auto. Does it for you" I love how practical Ethan is in his thinking.
The alex joke at the start made me want to cry 🤣
@@richandiben asked?
Which one he he
@@shreddedlittle I'm pretty sure he's the one in the cushy chair.
You really fragile then
@@ihatebrocoli637 you love broccoli
Now everyone’s gonna looking for a ls300 and the price will skyrocket 💀
As if the prices havent been super high for like 5 years now
@@Dustinlocy I bought mine in 2018 for £1800. Got another in 2021 for £1600 which I flipped for £4000 after spending about 300quid. There are cheap ones out there but you have to look for them, and time is running out before they really jump in price
On my country they are 5k but automatic
Tthey're over 10k in my country

Jack and Ethan make a fun duo to watch , you’re doing a great job
They’ve taken the resonators, the cats are in the manifold on the 2JZ-GE 😂 They’ve literally just upgraded the exhaust for you. Some do have a secondary cat but it’s not needed to pass an MOT because of the front ones.
As someone who's owned a GS300 for over 3 years now can I tell you that I still love it & daily drive it with over 200k miles (327k+ km) on the clock & it runs amazingly well. Needs some work done but it's an old high mileage car. Wouldn't trade it away for anything. Super reliable & super comfortable cruiser. The 2JZ-GE VVT-i engine is buttery smooth & has never failed me once. Truly a great car that's highly slept on. Cheapest way into owning a 2JZ
Enjoying the videos, jack and Ethan are doing a great job 😎
I love the fact, that Ethan is completely blind for everything car related. He forgot that they looked for a cheap way to run a 2jz. So he left his house to film a random Lexus because of some "car stuff challenge idk" 😂😂😂
you two are becoming a great car show on your own right!
Love the duo. Tbh Alex feels like he is always compensating with all the shouting, I don't mind the more relaxed vibes.
All the shouting, fake laughing, fake smiling.
Really agree, unfortunately Alex’s channel feels OTT. In comparison these guys are relaxed and fun, like being with your mates
Alex tries too hard. Typical little man syndrome. And enough with the penis jokes already.
I love how more people are getting into the GS / Aristo platform.
they are great cars tbf. very underrated. high quality tech and good chassis actually.
but pretty heavy tbf.
@@99Lezard99 They’re heavy, but compare to cars from today not so much. For example the R35 GTR is 4,000lbs.
I FUCKING DONT I WANTED TO BUY ONE
I bought mine four months ago for 3,500$ USD
Midnight Club 3 gave me the inspiration from my childhood and I just graduated so now was my chance. I’m sure many people are gonna find out soon, these are great cars
Had one, gs300 sport, boring as shit
The LPG bit might be the biggest interesting thing about this car. More LPG content please!
Lpg , is for cooking .
@@ThaDutchDK1989 nope, its for driving
A lot of people don't know or understand there are 3 different 2JZ. 2JZ-GTE, thats the Twin-Turbo that will handle 800hp without opening the ebgine. And then x2 2JZ-GE. With VVT, and without. Without VVT it'll handle 600whp. Lexus IS300/GS300 got with VVT. Those will handle 350whp, max 400whp but on borrowed time.
THE BLOCK will handle more, but the rotating assembly won't.
Yes this is the block that has the weaker connecting rods, but there are 4
2jzgte vvti
2jzgte non vvti
2jz ge vvi
2jz ge non vvti
There are more versions somewhere but these are the main four
Not a 2JZ (there were 1JZs in Japan) but as far as a cool JDM car AND a Supra goes, you cannot beat the legendary 1986.5-1992 MK3 Supra.
Not sure how many are in the UK for you guys, but it's become my favorite car. The looks are absolutely stunning inside and out, with some mods it handles AMAZING, RWD, the best seats ever made, custom parts scene, even though they have spiked in value they are still quite affordable, and most of all: It's a Supra.
Never get tired of driving mine and I'll keep it as long as possible, that inline 6 is just amazing.
I think skylines looks and sounds better
the involuntary de-cat sounded pretty spicy to be fair
Jack and Ethan killing it 👌
love this channel as the duo, more chilled vibe
This was way funnier than it needed to be, love it hahahaha
Class video, definitely keep the uploads coming. Good to see you both getting back into a good rhythm of content!
Well done lads, this is looking to be a great series 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻
Since Alex "left" you guys really stepped it up! I´m enjoying the vibe between you two :)
Why did he left ?
@@jamieryan5703 I think he's freelance so he's able to appear on more channels than just Car Throttle (like Auto Alex and Autotrader)
@@Hargan OK thanks 👍
Brilliant content. You two are doing a fantastic job!
Love this content, great duo keep it up! The joke at the beginning just brilliant!!
glad to see all the comments praising jack and ethan, was half expecting the reaction we all had when clarkson "left" top gear but im pleasantly surprised
The non-turbo VVT 2JZ has weaker connecting rods. They tend to leave the building around 450hp. Chuck some beefier rods in it and you're good to go.
I think the automatic gearbox breaks before the rods, right?
@@lucasrustt Yeah, if it's the 5spd auto I'm pretty sure they can't take much of anything. The 4spd auto is a little stronger
@@lucasrustt The A650e can take around 500bhp with an accumulator shim and external rad cooler. Not too bad for an old slushbox.
Turbo 2jz GE is pointless, better start from 1uz.
@@GF-mf7mlthat’s more work than just turbocharging the Ge and is also more expensive
You're doing a great job guys, Alex isn't missed at all. Just as entertaining.
Happy New year Car Throttle😀🎆🎇Super video I appreciate you
Glad to see.
That both of you.are carrying it on.
How did they get Jacks chair to hover like that??😂
This is a very cool start to a project... Please stick with it!!
I talked my friend into buying a similarly tired GS300 last year right before gas tripled in price. (And I know it's still way cheaper here than over there but we weren't used to it... lol) He regrets the decision but I just hype up the 2JZ once a week for him and then he feels less sad about it. lolol.
Thank you for adding to the 2JZ and specifically GS300 hype. Maybe this'll get him a month of relief.
Great episode. Worth watching just for Jack's reading of the advert script.
Youve got it lads as good as before keep it going
You men are thriving..... I really enjoyed that.
What a vid guys such a banger
I know it hasn't been that long since you last uploaded, but I sure did miss you two. Love the content, Lads!
First of all... You really need to make videos more often, people love this content (me included duh)
Also... That sponsorship message was AMAZING
Did you just ask yourself if you was in a nice place??? You're in bloody birmingham🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video guys. Keep it up
Dare I say it.... this is your best video! Very funny
I'd like to see more of this, I think a turbo kit is the way forward. Engine light was probably only cause the cat was missing anyway!
Absolutely great! Love the content, love JDM plus Jack and Ethan you rock!
Car Throttle in Sutton Park. My life is complete! 😂
Love to see more videos of this car
Jack and Ethan are such a good duo
Awesome video lads !
Love me some LPG. These conversions were super common in Australia, and just about all taxis ran them until hybrids became common. My car was converted in 2007 and it still runs like brand new on LPG and petrol alike. You just need to run premium fuel to clean the injectors, as LPG doesn't have any cleaning agents, being just a gas
„Goldbarrens“ big bad brother: Brombeerkörbchen🤪💪
A yes, in New Zealand all of those 2jz powered cars are everywhere, people love them and I'm one of those people, crowns are probably the most popular
Excellent video . Thank you. We used t9 have aJeep Grand Cherokee with lpg conversion. Fuel consumption went horrendous to just scary when on lpg.
Great episode Guys.
5:40 During the sponsored section, I thought Ethan had lost a leg using the Manscaped trimmer😂
nice to see the E36 from the ebay auction time ending soonest challenge in the back
Jack after the transition to the Manscaped Ad looked like he was suddenly threatening us. 😅
Really like the older executive cars that had decent power and a good amount of options, even for today’s mid size sedans. Would be nice to see more including Lexus LS’s, Big displacement S-Class cars, 7 series, a8’s instead of the smaller 3 series etc
I think Jack and Ethan used to be in Alex’s shadow before. They’ve come into their own now Alex has gone and the channel is doing great! 👍
Never liked Alex tbh. Liked the show but the guy had bell end written all over him
Car Frottle now with 100% less Alex.
Love your work 👍
That was a proper one
(Since a long time)
Its (on)in shape again
Love every car ive seen in this video
You would be amazed how much better the exhaust sounds with just the factory headers and resonators. I removed the rear mufflers on my GS over a year ago and custom made some rear pipes. These NA 2JZ’s can sound amazing with a little bit of work. Also from the exhaust sound of that car it sounds like it is in a limp mode. Typically you can hear the VVT-I kick in pretty aggressively, that did not sound like there was any VVT-I. These engines will turn off the VVT-I and pull a lot of power when there is any major transmission or engine control issues. Probably a VVT-I solenoid failure or a transmission solenoid/sensor failure.
“the Milk Man’s Happy” 😂😂😂😂
The secret to buying a 2JZ: just buy a naturally aspirated one. You may not have boost but mechanically tuning a 2JZ-GE or any other Toyota straight six becomes one of the most impressive powerplants you can have. Fantastic midrange, revvy as hell, and able to take hours upon hours of track use without any problems
You are spot on about that. It's why the SC300 is basically slept on even though it's more or less a lexus MKIV Supra.
My Supra only has a 7M-GE in it, but I would feel like a tool if I swapped it out with a 2J-GE unless I absolutely had to. It's not a fast car, but I love the way the stock straight six in it sounds and the torque.
Also don't forget you can NA-T convert a non vvti engine for less then it costs to buy a twin turbo engine :)
@@Juniper458 It's a pretty deep rabbit hole. Very few do it in the MK3 Supra community (or at least did) because the 7M-GTE (turbos) were so cheap just to swap out with.
I have zero issue enjoying the car as-is though.
@@rushnerd that's perfectly fine cause the 7M is a glorious motor with a sexy noise and even more simple than any JZ so still a huge win
@@Juniper458 NA-T is alright but a bit cliche imo where these engines can really shine is without forced induction because they deliver power so well across the entire rev range and rev so quickly with lightweight internals that don't take on boost that I'd prefer that offer turbo. But Toyota straight six shall always stustustu
This is a better video from you lately.
# belief is key✌️
HAHAHA the logo of manscaped with your heads is ridiculous hahaha dying
gs300 comes with a vvti ge block, the only version with weaker rods, most those engines can safely and reliably make with a turbo is about 350hp with the right tune
Too funny "your 2J was too sensible to purchase" 😂😂😂
The duo we didn’t know we needed…
Crazy how cars went up in value, wish they didn't much.
I'm glad that excited little puppy ain't around anymore. ☺️
Absolutely beautiful colour 😍
I just can't see a "sponsored by manscaped" bit without thinking about Marty and Michaels version 😂😂
I’m jealous the that the gs over there got headlight washers and a atenna
Ohh yeah gs300 one of my favorite cars ever
Jack referred to the colour of this as 'like a fine wine', back when they did the £1000 luxury car challenge and ended up buying mega spec
Great engine the 1/2JZ engines. They're reliable and make superb power when modded.
This is first video I have caught with only you two chaps, and want to give this analogy: you three were the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich- now without the peanut butter. Now, you have just a jelly sandwich, which is great, but determine what type of bread and jelly the sandwich is made of. 🍇 🍓 wheat rye white- cheers
I own 2 JZS147s would have been cool to see you guys get the red one. U don’t see them too often anymore.
I love jack, he the best 😊
Doesn't LPG typically reduce power output by about 25%
and it might burn valves as well...
So its NA and Auto.
Golbeys Parts (Australia)
DriftHQ (America)
I guess check out Herts GS300 build as well.
I literally have a gs300 oem set of mufflers right behind me right now. It isn't everything you need, but its a start. I wish I could ship it to you guys!
Notification Squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥
I dont normally come here this fast
Just imagine, in 10 years, these challenges will be like "buy a shitbox that runs for under $5k"
Top Job Chaps 🤘
The fact that they got a GS300 with 150k miles, not km’s, is mind blowing
Nahh FB doesn't somehow allow you to put miles. I can confirm this car has 240k miles
You did great, barely avoiding the total senior citizen-mobile that would have been the other, "sensible" car... No man over 85 would drive arround in something sounding like that - proper job!
I got excited thinking it’d be a soarer you got
Best man scape add yet
is there a part 2 to this? i feel like i have just been short changed
The next line of sorted after cars, I think, will be "rebadged JDM" like how the ford Laser is actually a Mazda 323 with different bumpers and a ford badge, or "Holden Apollo" and "Toyota Camry"👌
you can ask AdamC to lent his Chaser ;) lol
17 year old me would love that exhaust sound
I bought my factory yellow Is300 for $1300 in 2018 really fun car to drive, so balanced and comfortable
lovely car that. fix er up lads
You need to get the cat on and do a long journey in it fill it up full tank of fuel and full tank of lpg and see how many miles you can do on both without stopping at the pump, before that best is fix the exasust, and service it cheak everything.
I knew you didn’t get the silver one because I saw it on eBay earlier today 😂😂
It’s a Lexus , it will be reliable ! Toyota baby ! Those light on the dash are common . Check ABS sensor .
