I’m telling y’all the aristo is the one of the best jdm vehicles around, for very cheap too! You get the luxury, 4 doors for more h*es, amazing interior, amazing comfort,RELIABILITY AND a 2JZ TWIN TURBO?! Can easily be manual swapped. What more can you ask for?
@@funkaydonkey they’re still very cheap considering the prices of other jdm s like skylines etc. but in benefit they have a 2jz GTE with triptronic which imo is still very fun to drive I own two of them. Aristo are for sure 100% underrated
@@BigZee I imported mine 8ish years ago, so looking at todays Aristo prices seems like highway robbery to me. . Literally my whole car cost less than the current going rate for a 2jzgte . Most jdm cars are overpriced because of social media hype, it’s crazy.
@@funkaydonkey exactly man! I remember these were going for 4-5k here in Canada when it got legal here. Now they are going for 12-15k here but imo these cars are still very cheap compared to other Jdms
@@BigZee yeah I’m in Canada too. AB though !Decent bang for your buck when you compare them to jdm “hero” cars. Part of me just wishes I got an x100 mark ii though. I was so close to getting one, but scooped the Aristo instead LOL
I've always had a thing for full size JDM sedans. If I was forced to sell my Altezza for something else it'd be an Aristo, or a Crown, or a JZX110, or a Laurel.
These cars can do a bit of everything to Max orido drifting on back then, vip builds, track car, reliable dailys all the way to 704 garage making one into a time attack car .
I have a GS430 Second Generation - V8-powered with 300HP and looks just like this Toyota in this video... runs so smooth and is my daily driver in the traffic packed streets of Los Angeles - no matter how powerful the engine would be - it would not be optimal for me in my surroundings but my GS-430 is so reliable that I think I can easily hit 300k miles on the odometer
There are 4 GS300s around that are stance cars. I die inside every time I hear them scrape. The 4th guy is in my neighborhood. I think he ran out of money for his build. It's been on jack stands for at least 6 months now. He has an intercooler and piping started. I've contemplated knocking on his door to see what he'll let it go for and save that shit, turning it into a clean ass big body build so many times.
Jzs161 is a good chassis for the price compared with a chaser/mark ii or even a supra just need to keep in mind the acive rear diff- can be swapped for a gs300 diff and hard to find lsd for but trd do make a lsd for it and the 6 speed 350z or r154 manual conversion is tricky especially if you want a clean look, there are european companies doing DCT gearboxes which is another good option.
I love the 2jz like everyone else but I ended up buying gs400 for the v8 and stock 300hp, the maintenance on a turbo car and all the small things that go wrong with them kind of put me off (had a 4efte and a 3sgte) , this v8 is amazingly smooth very peppy and nice open engine bay without a bunch of intercooler piping or turbos I have had an is300 and loved that car but wish it had more power and apparently a safe tune on a stock n/a 2jz is around 300hp
My Toyota aristo came with the 4speed tiptronic automatic. With the button shift. 2jzgte vvti jzs161 with the sunroof and everything I loved it. But I sold it for $1500USD and regretted it because nothing was wrong with it at all.

I loved my GS300 as just a daily can only imagine with manual and some boost would be even better
Greek translation for ARISTO is sick!!! Thanks I’ll be here all day…

very nice and very rare full blue wood trim. very nice park brake setup aswell. looks like a very clean swap

Do a video on Mitsubishi air trek there’s a few in bc!
Toyota is the number one Japanese brand with the most platforms on offer.
Anyone knows what solution he used for the parking brake? Heat Lighting Speed Shop maybe?
Great video, amazing chassis
aristo vertex v300 edition is the jzs161 model that comes with the gte and not a g-e
What kind of e-brake is the owner using and how did he find a spot to mount it so cleanly?
Wow almost a 4 door Supra.. very nice...
*Why people say crazy stuff like "This is basically a Toyota Matrix steering wheel" Meanwhile, a GS was first introduced in 1993, then again in 97 MAKE IT MAKE SENSE*
bruh the matrix got its swag from the aristo not the other way around
I wonder if I slap in Lexus' 8 speed from the IS F, an how it'll perform
Just lovely
Why am i seeing aristos everywhere, i wanna buy one so bad but ik by the time i can afford it. They'll be double the price mayn gummon
Manual makes all rear wheel drive vehicles better.
Which car do you think is better? The toyota Chaser jzs100 is this aristo
I'd have a JZX over the Aristo. Feels smaller, more connected. Driving position is a bit lower. Both amazing cars though
I hear what he is saying about the transmission, but damn its noisy!
Ichiro’s car from midnight club 2
I want the Grannis Racing tremec tr6060 six speed kit for my aristo swaped gs400.
Wait, what? They make a kit that mates the TR6060 from the 2008-2013 corvette to the 2JZGTE?

What is the front and back tire size?
What clutch pedal are you using
Specs on wheels? 18 or 20 inch XXR 521? What width and offset?
Those are definitely 18s. Most likely 18x9.5/10.5 +23
I've got 18 x 9 +33 wheels on mine and they look almost exactly like this.
sad those cars are not in Europe
Didn’t the vertex edition come with lsd as well?
no the LSD was a standalone option, i have vertex edition with the open diff
@@platinumaviator9350 yeah my vertex edition is open diff too
Yeh I was guttered when I checked my trans axle code and realised it wasn't lsd
How you gonna wear a skyline shirt when ur repping a Toyota
What 3 pedal conversion did the owner use?
Supra pedal. Stock brake and gas pedal
@@rictorkooldude10 this the owner of the Aristo?
Friend of his
@@rictorkooldude10 do you know what he is using for the e-brake?
@@tjmax1983 altezza e brake. Custom bracket that bolts to the side of the trans tunnel

Why not a BMW GS6 gearbox?
probably hard to find commercial kits to adapt that bell housing to the 2jz

so quiet
Wait till it’s single turbo and higher boost lol. Factory twins are shitty
Why would you VQ swap an Aristo? Stupid is as stupid does I guess
VQ….? Huh?
Just the tranny I think
Underaged channel
This car is wayyy tooo sick!!
Correction tho* it’s a CDPro kit:) big up Serialnine 🙌🏼🫡💪🏽
