2JZ-GTE will set you back $3.5-4k (auto) or $6.5-7k (6-speed) from what I've seen lately. Of course you can easily pay heaps more than that, so shop around.
I can't recommend any importers in your neck of the woods, but in Qld the pick of the bunch are Rolin Automotive Imports and Asian Auto Spares.

yeah ive been having a gander at your site must say it does not look as hard as i imagined at the moment im getting the ma61 and then depending on how much i get from the insurance ill be putting a 2jz in it but yeah great work on the site you made and the conversion you did, hopefully i wont bug you to much during my conversion but it looks rather easy

Ive dealt with Asian Atuo Spares before an dall i can say is DONT, i repeat DONT buy anything from there.
Its a strong case of buyer beware.
I know of 4 different situations where Asian Auto Spares hasnt come to the party, even after the department of fair trading told them to, they still didnt.
Other people may have had pleasent experience with them, but you have been warned.
The cheapest way isnt always the best.
Just my opinion from personal experience.

I agree with FKN16V, my mate had a very bad experience with them that left him $4000 out of pocket.

Yes, subtle. Like not a mention on the website of the wiring except for a couple of pics of Telecom Central's copper mine under the dash! 
Big job is an understatement and doesn't do Norbie justice.

Ahhh Project 2JZ *giggle*, it only took what, 12 months?
*poke poke*
No idea on an MA61, couldn't have been that hard, then again alot of people who helped out were never mentioned in that webpage. In an A70 chassis it's like eating a piece of cake, infact it's easier
I picked my 6 speed cut up for $6000. Look around, there are decent cuts out there for a reasonable sum - those who want 10k + for a manual turbo front cut are just greedy wankers.

i know of a guy that has a 2JZGTE VVTI 6 speed manual, tailshaft to clutchfan all accesories ecu, loom ect with warranty for 6K. dont underestimate the 2JZGE either in an MA61 they are quite fun.if u do decide to do this conversion i can give you the number of the guy that makes the engine mounts to bolt JZ to MA61 and i also should have a spare 2JZGE bellhousing/flywheel. pm me for details.
cheers.

My web page is just a collection of pics I happened to take during the project. It is by no means intended to be a definitive how-to guide for an MA61 2JZ conversion! "For entertainment purposes only."

The wiring is pretty much done now (still one or two loose ends, but it's minor stuff), and most of the messy rats nest wiring has been tidied up. The dash is back together as well so it's all hidden. The whole lot has to come out again soon though - the heater core needs replacing. I've been putting that job off for ages!
