Look forward to getting my car and have a play with the 2JZ.
P.S Great site, so glad I have a reference point now and look forward to getting out to some meets when I get my Aristo!
Awesome, do you know where your getting your compliance done when u get one? J-spec might send you off to DCI and our cars might arrive at the same time if u pick one soon .
so.....Any change of insuring an 18 year old with a TT aristo _________________

Yeah J-Spec have referred me to DCI for compliance, I am still undecided about them though.
And lastly, 18yo + Aristo + Insurance @ Shannons = NO CHANCE! haha, sorry dude.
I've seen good and bad go through DCI. It seems mine was done right n proper, but others I have seen shortcuts taken. Your call mate.
Btw, I got quoted insurance with you guys, at i think $1300 or somethin... 21yo. Ended up going with Just Cars for lower, though I wouldve preferred your lot. You can't get us discounts can ya? HAhahaha. _________________

Well after hitting the 'ton' in terms of posts I thought it might be time to formally introduce myself.
My name is Peter, I live in Parramatta (NSW). I'm married with three boys, two of which are just finished High School.
I work for NSWHealth as a Web Manager, and have been in IT since I quit teaching secondary school in the 80's. I've worked for Apple Computer, The University of Technology, Sydney, and my current job since then.
I'm currently on LSL for nine weeks, and enjoying a break from work, and looking for a new car (which will hopefully be an Aristo.)
I've held a CAMS national competition licence since 1995, and retired from racing this year. I started out with a Datto 1600 in Sport Sedans, then had a Mazda R100, and in 1995 I imported an EG6 Civic from Japan and built it into an Improved Production under 1600 club car.
I've been active on a variety of Forums, most notably Toymods where I am a member.
I finished a ground up rebuild of a Toyota Hilux not long ago, and enjoy working on cars.
My list of past transportation (not in any real order) includes:
Honda CB175 Twin
VW Beetle
EJ Holden Van
Toyota KE20 Corolla
Diahatsu Charade CR Sports
Honda City
Honda Integra
Honda Civic
Honda Accord Luxury Euro
Toyota Hilux
Mitsubishi Pajero
Toyota Prado GXL
That's about it.
Cheers,
Peter

G'day guys and girls. I stumbled upon this site while searching for info Aristo's. Don't own one atm, but i am seriously looking into it. Just doing the homework first.
Gotta say, first impressions are that this site is a refreshing change from the majority of 'car' sites around - I havent seen one death threat on here yet!!!
Anyway, name's Damo, 30yo, reside is Brisvegas (almost, I am in the Redlands), married with 1, work as an engineer for a major beverage company (take a guess) and i can fix just about anything. In fact, my friends call me Macgyver. That said, I gave up working on cars about 7 or 8 yrs ago. I just wanna drive em now not fix em, LOL.
Long story short, I was gonna get a Skyline, but i have been copping a hard time from the Minister for War and Finance about her having to use it pick up kids from private school in a "2door hoon car", so when i first spotted a 4door cruiser with a supra engine, i thought, "heck yeah!!!". Never even heard of em till 3 days ago, but i'm sold already. Just gotta find the right one now.
Cheers all, and if you see any gooduns for sale, let me know.
Damo _________________
Forsaken, just looking to see what i can get locally atm. Never imported b4, and i kinda need to get one sooner rather than later.
Chikita, don't worry, I have been trolling all the net-based stuff. To my surprise, there are quite a few around. I have also noticed that they seem to vary wildly in price. I've only just started looking though, so I'll see what sells and what is still there in 4 weeks.

hey guys, im Matt, im about to turn 18, and im from Auckland, NZ.
pretty much the same as Damo, as in that im doing my homework before i buy an aristo but i have liked them for a while now and been interested in getting one. they arent very popular over here in NZ which is good because it can be the ultimate VIP sleeper
i will probably get a non-turbo one to begin with but when i start making cash go single turbo or sell and buy a twin-turbo. just a bit sick of turbos and the infamous reliability issues, at the moment.
Hi I'm Rogie from Adelaide, 22 years old and just purchased my second car, a Silver 1992 Aristo.
The blend of performance and luxury is what drew me to the Aristo.
My Aristo is stock aside some new 18" wheels + rims. I was amazed with how neat the car was in and out and RAA gave it a great score.
The first thing I'll be doing is window tinting as I'm going to get melanoma from the clear glass windows at the moment
Yet to arrange insurance but Just Cars gave me a quote of around $1300 which sounds pretty good.

Welcome aboard Gonz...another Perth member.
We try and meet up every month or so but have struggled a bit to achieve this so far. Not aware of any members that live in Rocky but a few do live SOR.
Look forward to you getting rid of the ute and joining the club...got an importer/complier in mind?

hi Gonz and welcome. mate i can empathize with you totally, just over 4 weeks ago we were aristo-less. now, we are grinning all the way. we dabble with the idea of importing one, but this is the wifes car essentially and she wasnt prepared to wait. i changed camps also as i used to have a GTR but sold it to replace it with the risto. black, 18s and not too low but low enough. you will be more than surprised with its deceiving looks, power and luxury. get use to people at the lights staring and scratching there head, much the same when you hose an R8 at the lights on take off. i am also a southern boy in vic park. meet up should be good. in regards to importing or buying one local, depends on budget and patience. importing is by far the most cost effective way, but if your looking for a local one, prepare to dig deep. the best way is through private sales. look forward to meeting up.

yeh mate im looking forward to selling the ute to, put the 4sale stickers on it today, now just waiting for my new door trims on wednesday and shes ready to advertise, believe me its a reluctant sale but with the family expanding its the best move cause my lady enjoys her cruising too so the baby will have no choice hahaha
i think i will use Aarons buisness to find and import it for me, ive read nothing but good things from previous customers plus i like the thought of his one stop shop, that suit me cause im lazy and has everything ill need plus more lol!
as far as being able to meet up, i work away so being here for anything sucks but ill keep my eye out and if im here im there!!

Gonz.
