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:

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
