I am guessing a few of you knew of these cars but this is the first i have seen of them. I guess if i needed a family car i would either get one of these or a steaga :D

i know if i saw one at a set of lights i wouldnt even look twice <_<

We got them locally as a Lexus something-or-other but only with the 2JZ-GE.

There are a couple of 2JZ-GTE ones in Australia, a guy had personally imported one from Japan about 2 years ago (was a 1999 model, looks alot better). Was a dark blue colour and used to prowl around ACT, havent seen it for a while.

They are awesome though, do the usual mods you would to a Supra and for less than $10k you have a 400kw family car :D

The Aussie counterpart is a GS300 I think

It's a pretty cool trick for anyone that wants to do a 2JZ conversion...... Instead of forking out a shit load for a twin turbo supra front cut you pay 2 grand less and get basically the same thing in an Aristo front cut

If you think that Aristo's are a nice car (as I do) then you will be interested to know that High perfomance imports magazine have bought one for thier new project car (the 2JZ -GTE type) should be a good read... :rolleyes:

    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
    • Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.
    • I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
