  1. Yeah, i have to agree with SRK. I don't think that it is a good idea to just guess what filter could possilby increase your capcity, completey ignoring that different cars run at different pressures and efficiencies. I don't think there is any "science" behind that more will cool better, however if you overfill your pan, the crankshaft will whip the oil up, creating air... and wherever there is air, there isn't oil, and wherever there isn't oil there is metal on metal. I worked for Lexus for a few years, now work for Toyota, the filter from a Es300 is a G1, and will most likely screw onto the threads but might be a little shallow for the filter housing. The Toyota filter for a V8.. Tundra, GS, etc.. is a D3. I have never seen a purolator on a vehicle in a minnesota, however mostly i see OEM or valvoline, or some other reputable brand. I don't think there is a real big gain to doing this, but there could be a profound after effect if for some reason the filter just didn't sit right on the metal filter flange. Just for what it's worth. Ps, you should ALWAYS change your oil every 3,000 miles, the GS did not leave the factory with synthetics so don't think for one second you are doing it favors running over the 3k with "5 or 10 thousand mile oil".
  2. It's the same car... The rods are a problem past about 8lbs of boost, do some research, the ecu can calculate up to about 7-8 lbs of boost, but the rod being that they are lighter to create better fuel economy with the increased piston size. The 4.0 and the 4.3 are the same exact size, the only difference is the bore size was increased, and the vvt-i was re-configured, that's about it... How every the UZ family engine is new to forced induction, so parts are not just laying on shelfs, but they are out there. Now if your serious about it, it can be done... If you choose to do a 2jzgte swap, your best bet is to find a GS300, and then do the swap, you would go broke trying to get everything together not knowing where to start, imho.
  3. 01' GS430, whilst racing an 03' S500, i managed to pull on him, and proceed to slowly walk away from the MBZ. I looked down, i was doing 155mph, and at this time i passed a Tahoe going almost 3 times their speed, so i decided that i should slow down, expecting the Benz to come by me, never saw him again... My car shifted into 5th gear at 152mph.
  4. Kurt is right, it will take a tech about 10-15 minutes to run through and program options such as hazard flashing and un/lock beeping, i turned my off for a few days, but i noticed that i was always checking to see if it was locked or not cause i couldn't remember hearing the beep, so i went back and turn the volume to it's lowest setting. Other options include auto-lamps, keyless, entry illumination, etc. Let me know if you have any questions, i work at a Toyota dealer so it's easy for me to hook mine up to the techstream.
