@@Heddster No, it’s a different gearbox. Don’t put the same amount in. The pressure difference will cause the box to fail. Find out the correct amount of oil for the 4-speed 👍🏻

Big up to Soars Performance. Bought the timing belt kit for my IS200 SportCross from them a few years back. After fitting it myself, was nervous about getting it wrong with the tensioner, but Marc was on hand with some helpful tips. The car is still going as my daily.

I dont know of you'd be able to help or answer this, but Ive recently been having trouble with my slave cylinder in my is300. Ive already gone through 3 brand new slaves, the seals keep going bad or just bursting and causing all of the fluid to leak out. Im at a loss and Im not sure what could be causing this or if Im just getting unlucky. Any advice?
hi there, can i mount a moza R9 on the plate?

Oh thats a shame how come ?? not my buisness but just wondered why the change of heart did you get fed up or not have the time ? anyhow best wishes to you and i really liked your video by the way i did the same as you refurbished my spare room repainted new carpet etc so its my little man cave will be building my new art cockpit today and your video is going to be so helpfull specially as im getting on a bit at 62 yrs of age !! lol take care dude .@@shizukesajdm
@@tb6539 I have much bigger plans for the channel, so I’ve decided to sell up all of my stuff and move far away 😉 This channel is about to change drastically in the new year!
I did this on my GS earlier this year, well worth it. Man that rust is heartbreaking, I live in North Texas far away from ocean air and road salt. It's a car guys paradise in regards of rust free wrenching. How much did those brake pads run you? I'll convert to 'Murica dollars, the pads I'm running are super noisy. Everything I ran us brand new out of the box, but when I stop i get a "eeeeeeeeeeeeeee' sometimes.

Did you end up getting rid of that clutch chatter? If so how did you fix that? Your videos have helped me so much on my own is, i really appreciate you documenting this.
@@LYfeStudioz7 I made it better, but I didn’t completely solve it. New video coming this week, so you’ll see the next stage of the process! :)
When you put on your shifter mount, that plate should go on the inside, acting as a spacer for the plastic parts that form the connection between the front and back end. You put it on the outside which will offset your gear mount. the plate goes between the main base and the gear mount. have a look at you video at 9 minutes and 26 seconds, that plate is on the wrong side of the shifter mount.
Fuck me dead that is the most unique, interesting & kick ass (more conservative sounding exhaust) systems I’ve ever heard on a 2Jz. I don’t like the raspy sound one gets from a resonator delete! I’ve owned quite allot of high end exhaust systems in my life and that easily looks like a $900+ Japanese exhaust at the current rate of inflation. I think you would have been ALLOT happier with an HKS Hi-Power. The sound of HKS is awesome without being obnoxious but your gonna pay allot for a full HKS exhaust! BTW You can stil get Megan racing Y pipes. They add a little power and shift the power and RPM noticeably into the upper rpm which some love and some hate and some don’t notice/care! 👍👍
@@ryanjofre I think with some aftermarket headers, this exhaust could have been a lot more interesting. It needs “opening” up a little to really hear the engine. Great for a daily, though! I don’t think these are made in Japan anymore. When Revel took over, they changed the manufacturing. I’m guessing going from a Japanese company to a US company, they’re probably made in China now! I can’t buy any of the Megan Racing products because I’m not in the US. Also, the flanges on the “downpipe” have been replaced with a different design, so they would have to be changed too. Thanks for watching! :) 🙏🏻
@@shizukesajdm yeah with the FIGs headers your IS300 would have been amazing but they cost thousands! Your exhaust looked like a $900+ Japanese masterpiece. All of the headers on the market are shit except the amazing Figs race headers but a figs costs thousands. The cheap eBay $150 headers add as much as Megan but they don’t sound good. It’s hard to describe but the sound pitch sucks. The Megan headers suck bad. I have a silver & black leather creampuff that looks new! All the maintenance and oil seals done! Moog heavy duty ball joints. I’m doing 264 stage 2 cams with adjustable cam gear on the exhaust cam. 3 degrees retard. Cusco OS JDM blue front upper strut bar Cheap purple Chinese coil overs Megan racing rear upper strut bar Eibach sway bars Cheap Chinese short Ram blue filter intake Megan racing Y pipe Greddy Revolution RS 2.5” inlet with removable tip muffler welded into stock exhaust. nitrous express wet nitrous with all the bells and whistles(NX bottle opener etc. and safety features(window switch etc.). Hawk HP’s front pads, ebc green stuff rear. 4 piston Lexus brake upgrade soon. It’s gonna be a bad ass sleeper. Long term turbo monster. I’ve driven 350 HO, 500HP, 750HP & a 1200HP turbo monster IS300. They’ll all made me grin so hard my face hurt! Oh yeah…I’m also adding a Cisco U.S. market lower chassis brace for future drifting.
@@shizukesajdm your exhaust must have been made in Japan. Fukin beautiful. Megan is a crap shoot anyway. They make really good and mediocre products ime! The y pipe probably adds 12 solid Hp on the is so worth it for an N/a car desperate for power. The cheap Chinese intake almost paid for the y pipe.🤣🤣. That exhaust you had is perfect for uptight neighborhoods like mine. They’re gonna hate my Greddy muffler,👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🤣🤣
@@ryanjofre The Greddy RS Revolution is hands down the best option for the IS300, and I wish I’d have waited for it. It was COVID times, and I couldn’t find it in stock anywhere. The car is sold now, and I’m moving on to MUCH bigger things in 2025!
thanks!
Keep going dude! Honestly not just saying this but you have given me confidence in doing soo much of the work myself as i have got exact same color is300 . Your engine maintenance video is the best one out there for the UK 🇬🇧
@@tonystark9082 Three more episodes incoming! Then MASSIVE news for 2025! 😃
any improvement on fuel consumption?
@@antoinedoinell Nope. Probably worse.
@@shizukesajdm sorry for all the questions but what diff? perhaps the foots become a bit heavier now that you got gears to row through manually? haha
@@antoinedoinell Foot was definitely heavier after the swap! Can’t remember the diff code, but you can check my IS200 vs IS300 video if you wanna know! :) It’s an LSD, I know that much.
Was it a hard starter before you did all the maintenance?
@@richardohnstad9315 Nope.
Dude - Awesome video!! And there's no such thing as being too detailed on a project like this! I'm going to be undertaking it myself coming up here soon - This video was fantastic!! Greatly appreciated, and I hope the life stuff is going better!!
@@92Pony I appreciate that! More to come on this swap. 2 more videos. Then MASSIVE news to follow! Thank you so much for watching, and good luck with your swap!
The fact u cant even see where u hit the lip after fixing it…. Well done 😅
@@Faded_Muffinz 😅🤷🏻♂️
Perfect video format, we wanna see everything , well at least me anyway. I can’t tell you enough how good it is to have every little bit of information when you’re doing similar work. Appreciate it man 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@TM-fx5le Most are just looking for the entertainment factor! 😅 I’m glad you enjoyed it! ✌🏻
@@shizukesajdm Just watched the whole mini series and now I’m itching to know what the issue was that you ran into. I heard you sold it now tho, any future plans for any Lexus/toyota content?
@@TM-fx5le You’ll find out this month :) BIG PLANS!
3:55 is why I subscribed lmfao Not sure why but I found that so funny. Just picturing you going 1v1 with this ball joint for the next three hours, which was definitely a possibility lol.
I hated it 🥲
this dude is a guenius i hope i spelled that right
u deserve more subs every1 sub
@@cmcg_mcgregor I appreciate that! Thank you! 🙏🏻 😊

Thanks for making this content. I'm getting ready to swap a 2JZ from an IS300 donor car into my IS200 manual. I'm VERY curious to know how the J160 gear ratio's work with the IS300 torsen diff ratio! Would be great to get your input. Thanks!
It didn’t feel too dissimilar to a stock IS200 feel tbh! Just more power :) It’s difficult to say unless you ask more specific questions 👍🏻
@@shizukesajdm Thanks! Is the top speed still about the same you recon? Around 124 MPH / 210 km/h? How much quicker does it feel in comparison to an IS200?
@@OverstuurmetMaurice Limiter on my IS200 manual was at 140 which I’ve hit. Limiter on the IS300 was 150 which I got close to.
@@shizukesajdm Thanks! Looking forward to future video's
What size copper washer did you buy?
Nevermind I skipped over it😂
@@jeffreyalphonso No worries! ☺️✌🏻
Im so happy for you man, so much work put into this! Must feel amazing :)
Thank you, man! The series isn’t over, and the channel is just getting started! Bigger and better things to come! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻:)
@@shizukesajdm Whats next in store for the IS? Someone said you sold it, are you onto another project?
@@allenraymond5660 Yeah, I did sell it. But what’s coming next is a massive step up! You’ll see!
Good effort mate very enjoyable series. Pity you sold it LMAO
Bigger and better things are on the way!
That turning of the steering wheel made all the difference. Nice tip cheers. 10:47 you could use a big flat head or chisel for hammering that washer around the edges if there's enough room in there...
