Doesn't look like there is much action here anymore, but I'll introduce myself anyway. I'm Dee and I live in the US. Just purchased my first Aristo and am loving it so far. It's a 91 3.0V with only 46,000 kms. It currently has BC coils, 19" SSR Vienna Courage wheels, Fujitsubo exhaust, Blitz air filter kit and a Blitz blow off valve. I just recently purchased a full Greddy T88H turbo kit minus the T88H turbo but has a Forced Performance Super 99 T4 ball bearing billet wheel 72mm in place of it. Hope to have it installed before too long as well as a fuel system, engine management, converter and built trans. Never owned a 2JZGTE equipped car with an automatic before, so I am new to this but it should be fun. A local guy has an Auto Supra, so I'll be taking notes from his build.

I'm not new to the 2JZ game though as I own 2 MKIV Supras and an SC300 currently(along with the Aristo). One Supra has a V160 and a fully built 3.0 with an 88mm turbo and the other Supra has a V160 and a stock engine with BPU.

Hi Dee and welcome.

Yes it's very quiet here sometimes that's for sure.

Love your Aristo thanks for the pics.
Has some lovely upgrades on it and very low kms, great buy.

The auto is great, i've always driven manual before i purchased the Aristo and i just love it.

Awesome collection of Toyota's you have Dee thanks again for the pics.

Cool

Thanks for the warm welcome. Hopefully things pick back up in here again.

I'm excited to really dig in to the Aristo and make it much faster.

I'm also happy to try out the consistency of automatic racing versus manual.

I'll be sure to post up more pics as I'm able to get more things done to the Aristo.

Welcome Dee! Looks like a very cool rig, excited to see it progressing. There is also a bit more activity on the Facebook groups if you're on there -

Hi just thought I’d introduce myself…

My names Nathan 41yrs old this is my 2nd time on this forum as I just purchased another aristo.

I regretfully sold my JZS 147 10yrs ago that I imported myself and decided this year I was going to buy another one as it was by far the best ride I’ve owned.

I couldn’t find a nice 147 so I brought the nicest 161 vertex edition I could find with 47000 genuine ks.
It’s was built in 1999 so next year it will be a 25yr old 2J under 50000ks.

I’m not a huge car guy but I do have a passion for these cars and appreciate the help I received 10yrs ago when I was on this forum.

I don’t attempt any work on my cars lol, other then basic services so I will be reading posts and asking advice on we’re to take it also building my contacts again in the aristo world.

I’d love to try find my old 147 hopefully his on here somewhere, was a two tone pearl white missing 3.0V badge with a small outie dint on bonnet (yes I closed it on a socket) Sad brought from craigieburn Vic.

I pick up my 161 hopefully next week it’s a fresh import getting compliance and will post a pic, I’ll try find a pic of my old one too and post it.

Love my footy AFL
Married with 2 kids
Small business owner (fast food)
From regional VIC

Cheers everyone hope that’s an ok intro
Regards Nath
