This could possibly the the first manual Aristo offered for sale! Anybody who has been in / driven the car will confirm having it as a manual totally transforms the driving experience. Certainly different from a Skyline and if you are right into them this might not be for you, however we're all into our Japanese cars, perhaps you know somebody who considered an Aristo but decided against them because of the auto gearbox.

The car as I got it:

.:. 1994 Aristo Series 1

.:. Emerald Black paint - aftermarket color, looks black but up close has a green metallic

.:. Tan leather interior

.:. Factory sunroof

.:. Tein CS adjustable coilovers (Tien EDFC compatible!)

.:. 17" Euroline rims, 235 front, 265 rear

.:. LSD

.:. Limo tint on rear glass

.:. Xeon / HID low beam headlights (I would never have a car without these!)

.:. Clear corners - clared turn signals in lights

.:. White fog lights, not amber

.:. Lexus badging front & rear

.:. Rear boot garnish cover - blocks 'ARISTO' on boot

.:. Factory rear spoiler

What I have done to the car:

.:. LED dash kit

.:. Replaced blown 12" sub woofer with new Kenwood unit

.:. FM frequency shifter installed to stereo

.:. BLUETOOTH mobile phone car kit, you just jump in the car & it automatically connects :thumbsup:

Conversion to R154 manual

.:. Box with remote shifter, overhauled (new bearings & seals)

.:. New lightweight flywheel

.:. New cusom made Exidy clutch

.:. Clutch master & slave cylinders overhauled

.:. Revised tail shaft balanced

.:. Brake & Clutch pedals modified for even length & rest position

.:. Replaced engine mounts, belts

** Original master cylinder retained (some conversions have removed these)

** no check engine lights

** cruise control / ABS / traction control all functional

Performance

.:. Zees System single 3.5" into twin 3.5" with large centre and twin cannons @ rear. Includes front pipe where compliance cat usually is. Deep note, nice burble @ idle & not too loud

.:. MINES aftermarket ECU. Raised rev limit to 7,000rpm, removed speed & boost cuts.

.:. APEXI AVCR electronic boost controller

.:. APEXI AFC2 fuel computer

.:. Trust Greddy Spec M front mount intercooler kit

.:. POD filter

Recently dyno'd @ Race Pace Motorsport in Bayswater [Dyno Dynamics] with 256.2rwkw @ 16psi, most cars here with similar power use more boost to achieve this figure.

I'm offering the car for sale here early, for $17,990. This price is for the car *as is*. The car runs perfectly, and the only thing letting it down from being 100% is that it needs a minor paint tidy up, on the boat on the way over it copped brake fluid on the bonnet which stripped some of the paint off.

If you think of the average price of a stocky being around $12,000 - usually not black, no leather, no roof, then look at the list of mods, then factor in the manual, that this car would be a good buy for anybody considering buying an Aristo with the intention to mod it. I can promise you that there is no way you could do anywhere near the list of mods for the price I am asking.

BONUS: I have a garage FULL of Aristo spares. The new owner of the car can take as many or as little of these spares as possible, these spares include:

.:. headlights

.:. brake discs

.:. brake calipers

.:. suspension arms

.:. stereo head unit

.:. boot trim(s)

.:. various ECU's, traction, abs, ECU, etc

.:. auto shifter, surround, etc

.:. window regulator, window switches, etc

If you want these parts, you can have them, for no additional cost, sell them & make some money, keep them in case you need them :(

Just paid 12 months rego, new brake pads, new front discs...

Car is in VIC. Call me on 0419 569 022 [Daniel]. Selling only, no swaps!

Dyno @ Racepace, note the long, flat curve!:

Around the console I have a custom made piece of aluminimum, with a rubber gearboot to insulate against noise, then a normal boot, with a carbon shifter. I have removed the ashtray & have the Apexi AVR-R & AFC2 mounted there.

Also we have modified the clutch & brake pedals so the height of them match. Because of the different (or lack of) mounting point for the clutch pedal, without modification the clutch pedal sits at a different heigh to the brake pedal, but not on this car :)

I also have a front lip & sideskirt kit {Aeromagic} for sale too, and would be willing to do a deal should the potential buyer be interested:

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
