Case Study: Sourcing a Toyota 2JZ-GTE Engine from Tokyo to Westminster, BC, Canada
Customer Request
In early July 2025, a customer from Westminster, BC reached out with a clear mission:
“I’m rebuilding my Aristo and need a clean 2JZ-GTE from Japan. No sketchy swaps, no inflated prices. Can you help?”
We knew exactly where to look.

Translation & Verification
We translated the full listing, verified seller ratings, and confirmed the engine’s condition via direct message. The seller provided additional photos showing compression test results and ECU serials.
Bidding Process
We placed a strategic bid 30 minutes before auction close. Final price: ¥824,000 JPY (~$7,300 CAD).
✅ No commission on part value—just our flat $89.99 per 10.0Kg / 22lbs. sourcing fee.
Packing & Warehouse Photos
Once the engine arrived at our Tokyo warehouse, we documented the packing process:
- Custom crate built for shock absorption
- ECU and harness bubble-wrapped separately
- Turbos secured with foam inserts
- Moisture barrier lining added for ocean transit
Shipping & Receipt
The crate shipped via Yamato Global Express, arriving in Vancouver in 11 days.
We’ve blurred the shipping receipt for privacy, but it confirms weight, tracking, and customs clearance.
🔧 Installation & Customer Quote
Three weeks later, the customer sent us this photo of the 2JZ-GTE freshly installed in their Supra:
“This is exactly what I wanted. Clean, legit, and no drama. You guys nailed it. I’ll be back for a TRD diff next.”
