warning: they are not 56k friendly.

after a few days of driving it all i can say is that it truly kicks ass, if your in the se suburbs of Melbourne you might see me cruising about. go the 2JZ!!!

Hey Jason! Good to see your beast on the road.

LOL might have to convince Craig to come by in his Aristo to take a pic next to yours. He loves teh Aristo's (as do most of the boys at J-Spec). The VIPBOY Aristoid is identical to yours except I think you've got factory cupholders and a sunroof.

That's nice and clean - I was going to get one of these, but decided on the Cosmo instead.

So tell us - how does it go ?? Give us the low down and review !

Looking forward to hearing about it.

Are you going to mod it ??

Cheers,

^^^^^^ yes basically the aristo is the 2JZGTE a twin turbo 3.0litre.

the chaser depending on age is a 2.5litre twin turbo(older models) or the VVTi single turbo (95 onwards i think). very nice cars. excellently set up for drift as standard.

Bollocks. Chasers are just run of the mill family sedans. They'll drift with some suspension work.

Chasers got a 1JZ from memory, wheras Aristo's got the 2JZ (incidentally Aristo's came with the 2JZ BEFORE the supra's :)... so in fact the Supra is a 2 door coupe with an Aristo engine if you wanna get picky).

i was just saying what i've read and heard. tehy are popular with younger guys and gals in japan who are getting into drifting. cause they have the balls to get sideways and stay out there. tricked up suspension helps even more.

theres actually a variety of chaser like cars made by toyota. the Mark II, the chaser, the tourver V and the Grande. the grande came with N/A 2 JZ the other came with 1JZ twinturbo or single turbo.

Chaser's come in manual whereas Aristo's don't, and I think Chaser's weigh a good couple of hundred kg less than the Aristo (but don't quote me) I also think you can get an AWD Aristo.. very rare and mighty heavy at something in the region of 1900kg o_0

That aristo wouldnt happen to be the one running on the dyno at my bro's shop last saturday was it?

nah hasnt been dynoed yet.

all up cost about 17K and thats for a 95 model that is very clean with a true 77K kms, sunroof, factory cruise controll and 12 stacker cd player.

just did about 200k's in it today and i must say it has some balls in stock form. with an exhaust and some more boost this thing is going to tear it up hardcore

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
