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:

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
