I have an Aristo too but jzs161 model with atf transmission. I love your car. Very nice project, clean built and good looking car. Wheels fits perfectly
Just got a GS300 due to seeing this my 2nd Lexus at 24🙏🏾 blessed to be inspired and thankful for seeing your videos . Hope for an update someday stay smooth !
Hi 👋 Tom's did make a 147 edition amigo. I just parted company with my 1991 30V Tom's edition. I bought it in 2009. It was kept completely stock. It's wheels are 3 piece called "Cabala" magnesium centre fat 5 spoke available only in 17" and ran 235/245 tyres they look very nice as they have dish
@h22aaccord1 is there an email? I forgot to say "Nice car!" "Goes like a scolded cat!" I wish I still had it so I could run downstairs and give you the vin numbers.. there wasn't a lot of physical differences other than wheels and strut brace.. mine came with a spare factory strut and a Tom's fitted.. as well a few bits that were unfortunately stolen by vandals in 2018- thecsame week i located a 147 TRD grill.. they (crackheads i guess) smashed 2 windows and half of my interior, they even took the Aristo and Tom's floor mats while tearing out the electric seat cables.. took me ages to find the bits.. others I cannot find. I have pictures of most of everything except the vin..but I might have an old rego receipt which will have it. They supposedly made 200 for some kind of homologation.. Another tuner did the 4 wheel drive V8 version of the 147, as well as Russian police used the and v8 too.
Respect from mid-Europe. Your build is my dream car, my JZS147 needs a lot of work but your vid gave me the boost to keep searching parts and throw money on it. Silver, white two-tone and black two-tone are the best colors for this body (mine is '97 black two-tone, non-vvti 2JZ-GE). Please make more vids. Peace
Absolutely gorgeous Aristo Bro.👏 What a sweet ride. I daily a 2000 LS400, but I lust after these insane Aristos. Dope review. Much appreciated. Peace to all the Lexus/Toyota lovers worldwide.🌎
🔥🔥🔥 I remember they had one of these gs300 in the movie Juice. I’m a BMW guy but these and the ls400 were so ahead of their time compared to the the Mercedes and BMW of the same era
@@h22aaccord1 Driftmotion makes a twin rebuild kit that replaces the wheels with GT28Rs. There are companies in Australia and Indonisia that also make them. Boost is controlled via a Blitz blitz sbc i-d iii.
My first car was a silver 1993.5 gs300. Loved that thing, drifted it abused it. Man I really dog your build, this is actually my dream build manual and with supra tt wheels...if they were polished that would be the only thing missing. Respect man. Hope to buy a jdm machine like this and similar single swap..
Hello there mate, from Sydney Australia... I just viewed your video and I loved it... great job keeping things simple. I've recently bought a 2001 Aristo, and can't fault it anywhere... its still stock but immaculate with low kms. I have also subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your future videos. Cheers Nathan
Dope ride, I wish I had gotten a 147 when they were cheap. They’re pretty hard to find now too. I had two 161s back in the day but it’s just not the same.
@@h22aaccord1 yeah exactly but the good thing is the yen rate is like 150=$1 the perfect time to buy a car 😅 they’re about 3.5 million yen or about 23k USD it’s still a lot compared to the good old days 😞
hey brotha, great aristo, quick question, what’s your thoughts on the 97 aristo with the gte vvti? i have a potential deal and might reconsider after seeing your aristo
I've seen your car more than a couple times. My gte bluestone is300 is at petrol werks was parked near your car at one point so ive gotten a chance to see this bad bitch up close. Lookin good bro nice clean & tastefully modded
Hi there great video and you helped me fall in love with this car, I had a question with the engine types I've been looking all over but I only know for certain that the 1997 toyota aristo has a 2jzgte engine and I was wondering if the toyota aristo from 91 to 02' had the same engine. (I'm newer to the car scene so maybe my information is incorrect)
Happy to help you understand. So the 2JZ engine debuted in 1991 with the jzs147 Toyota Aristo u til 96. In 97 the 2JZ debuted in the jzs161/160 Aristo but with VVTI. There's tons of videos on the 2jz if you wanna know more details. Thanks for watching
Love the build, I have a 1993 Aristo 3.0V too. I heard you say it had an HKS exhaust on it before, any chance you still have it? You’ve done almost exactly what I plan to with mine. I just may not be lucky enough to get a V160 and will end up going with a T56 from Grannas racing.
Thank you. Yeh T56 is honestly the better choice. I just wanted the car 90s period all through out. Also yes O do still have the HKS exhaust, they are hanging from my garage ceiling. I also had the tips cut off and put on the new exhaust to maintain the same look.
I’ve been looking for an HKS exhaust for this car for the past two years. Is it the full piping (from the cats all the way back minus the tips)? Would you have any interest in selling it? The only other one I’ve seen for sale is Fujitsubo, but I was holding out for an HKS before going custom like you did and just put HKS universal mufflers/tips on.
Much respect man, appreciate your love and passion for an old school rare and unique car. I personally had an addiction/love affair w the gs400 (frog eyes) lexus. I’m trying to find a nice 06/07 gs430 and they are very hard to find as I’m mainly looking for black on black. I heard what you said about getting this car shipped from Japan and wanted to know how you found it/was thinking maybe I could do the same w an 06/07 gs430. Thanks for your help
I would have to agree with that. My 2nd gen was the best ride quality car I've ever driven. Performance sucked but I guess with a motor like mine. It would be impressive.
So rare that someone actually builds a cool car. This is that.
Supporting a fellow new yorker...got a 95 sc 400....
I have an Aristo too but jzs161 model with atf transmission. I love your car. Very nice project, clean built and good looking car. Wheels fits perfectly
Thanks much appreciated. Love the 2nd gens as well
Insane detail. Really oem plus. Simple and clean. This what the game missing

Thanks for tuning in man, yeh I just posted an update a few months ago, check it out when you get some time.
Amazing build man, love how you kept it OEM as possible! Respect
Appreciate it!
*The sound of this is amazing!!! When that boost hit it sounds like a LFA.*
Sorry in advance, HD and 4K taking long to process. Feel free to revisit when it's at full quality.
Awesome, just got a 97 aristo. Love how you did yours, Im taking notes. Thank you!
This is top tier content it motivates me more on my build!!
Lol I don't know know about Top Tier but not bad for my first vid
Beautiful car. Very tastefully done.

Awesome setup man. 👌
A JZS160 swapped GS300 owner myself. Great platform. Never go wrong with these ...
jzs161 is the chassis code with the 2jzgte
I love these engines, reliable power 🙌💯🔥
That's for sure
Absolutely beautiful car, sounds amazing!
Thank you
Love the car! I've been looking at getting one of these 1st gen Aristo's. Your setup is exactly what I what to do. Awesome job on the car!
Thanks I appreciate that
У меня такая же и я ею очень дорожу.!Хорошо что не продал))
I've always wanted a 1st gen aristo. I love the look of them and can be turned into a sleeper.
Definately a sleeper and the sexiest Aristo/GS ever.
Nice and informative video general 🔥🔥🔥
Respect Shattis
🔥🔥🔥 I remember they had one of these gs300 in the movie Juice. I’m a BMW guy but these and the ls400 were so ahead of their time compared to the the Mercedes and BMW of the same era
Yepp, in 1990 all the other big car makers bought LS400 to drive them, dismantle them and study them
Very nice. I have a 91 just like that but has modded twins and still auto. Great build
Dope, curious what did you do to the twins and how do you manage the boost increase? Thanks for viewing

Have you had the "normal" problem with the door frame/bezel? it comes loose and a gap comes with it. Do you have a great fix? I have a 1995 GS300.
No never had an issue with thise

I just found your channel. Love the car and I'm getting one soon. I also live in New York. Any trouble getting it registered at dmv?
No not at all, just have all customs paperwork or title and a picture of the VIN plate

Dope ride, I wish I had gotten a 147 when they were cheap. They’re pretty hard to find now too. I had two 161s back in the day but it’s just not the same.
Yes definately more rare than 147 However I think 161 is better in ride quality. You can find nice 147s out there but they might cost you

Having Aristo as a name, i always thought about owning this car in the past but, not my flava.
Yours is clean though 👍

beautiful car man,what was the shop in VA u bought this car from ?
I wish there was still first gens by me. I’ve literally only ever seen one. I have a second gen

this sounds siiick
Thanks
I meant to ask you at the Glen Cove Car show. Did you have any trouble keeping the Air Conditioning with the AEM V2?
Nah, they did have to run a relay for it to work with the AEM V2 tho.
very dope

Hey man, love the car.
Have a JZS161 on the way, looking to do a similar setup.
Is the ebay manifold tubular then? The thing sounds amazing.
Yes it's tubular and thanks
Whats size turbo your running and what ar housing ? And are you on pump gas 93 ?
Precision 6772 and its on E60 Flex right now
@@h22aaccord1 typo on the turbo size number? Did you mean 6776 ? What's the A/R and psi? Sounds very nice!
I got a question will a 1998 downpipe fit on a 94 GS300?
*OK I commented too soon...THAT THING SWEET! But I still would put that setup in a 2nd gen* 😂
2nd gen is a superior chassis/car in my opinion also. But the 1st gen looks better
@@h22aaccord1 I have to disagree. But if you like it, I love it! 👊
