Yeah those 1UZ cars were for the ultra high ballers in the 90s I just talked about this on a recent IG posting I made. They were ¥5,330,000 in 91. The highest spec GZ trim A80 Supra was ¥4,720,000 in 93. But the heavy hitters got the Soarer. The 4.0 GT Limited could cost ¥7,450,000. That was insane for 91.
HP wars would’ve started alot earlier had Lexus decided to go GTE on the 1Gen GS. MB AMG and BMW M5 would’ve gone balls out way earlier. The forgotten impact the Aristo/GS had on HP wars is under looked story. On the lightside I’m kind of glad the 147 chassis actually remains quite attainable still with all the glory the JZX90/100/110 gets on the sedan food chain for Toyota hell even the 161 2Gen is getting tons of hype now.
Awesome vid as usual bro. Another great fact is that this car's body was actually penned by the famous Italian Design house, ItalDesign, which was run by Giorgetto Giugaro.
That's wild I've only done 130ish in mine but the car felt very planted. Nice video keep them coming this is probably one of the best ones I've seen on the 147
Love the ultrasonic mirror feature, I miss having that in my daily. Other things that I find unique: 1. Interior air purifier 2. Two windshield washer reservoirs 3. Self-ejecting cup holder
I have the base gs300 model. Did a spark plug replacement and my car started vibrating violently & had coolant in cylinders... Idk what to do I don't want to junk it..😢
1Gen is still amazingly reasonably priced but for 2Gens its likely gonna cost more since that model was quite known and iconic among many folks it gotten tons of social media, tiktok, takeover, drift missile, vip hype it used to be cheap af to get a GS300/400/430 not anymore.
@@h22aaccord1 I’m actually amazed how reasonable the Aristo is still despite the insane prices of the GTE motors these days. The heavy weight and lack of manual is keep the boys away from the car though the 161 chassis is gaining hype more by the day.
The cars will never go down in price because they are in ultra high demand but there are a few 161s here going for 10k here in Japan. A friend of mine is selling his V300 Vertex for 10k your best bet is to buy one now and have it stored because once the yen gains traction again things won’t be affordable anymore

Whoa the Soarer 4.0 was that much more expensive than the Aristo 4.0?? That's almost $20k US difference, bananas. Whats your IG?
@@h22aaccord1 therooka80, I’ll follow you back
I love my jzs147 I did learn something though the aristo truly is a beast that no one talks about
That's why I'm here spreading the gospel lol. Thanks for tuning in

I agree 100% with everything you just said
I scored a 147 from Powervehicles 2 yrs. ago with a R154 swap- such a solid platform definitely keeping in the fleet
@@jdmimportlogistics nice what color was it?
@@h22aaccord1 It's a metallic brown/rust color- you can check it out on YT just look up "Powervehicles Aristo" Peace
@@jdmimportlogistics ok I remember it the drift spec car. Nice 👍

@@h22aaccord1 it's an LSD I know that much she lays 2 lines nicely. The car still had gearing I just didn't have enough stones to keep going. 🤣
@@4doorvip I meant what was the drive ratio
I wish I knew sir! It has all the factory stuff for a 91 V apart from engine mods and a trans cooler 😎
Great points 👏👏 the name of the channel is a little strong 😅
Yeh, that's my Instagram name lol
@@h22aaccord1hehehe
A lot of the things that are incorrect or in hot version and best motoring videos here on TH-cam. Also I’m a fellow aristo owner.
Definately some things are notn100% in Best Motoring but I also try to cross reference with other sources. The Aristo is still fast whereever you look

Not Really the RB26 came same year as 1jz. So Toyota had limited knowledge on RB26
RB26 was 1989 and 1JZ was 1990
@@h22aaccord1yes first yr of R32 GTR thkx. they didn't develop a engine with a year notice, I don't think.
I have the same model in China😅,but it's a NA version, I love your car, beautiful refitting.😍

Thank you and yes those are the wheels
@@h22aaccord1 you have make very good job in the aristo, respect 🙏🙏🙏
Do you know which years the UZS143 started production?
Man I hope these car prices drop soon, i'd sell my GS300 and buy a 1st or 2nd gen Aristo quickk

I don't know how likely it os but the Yen is weak now so might be a good time to buy.
