So, was racking my brains today, and remember seeing a JZS147 aristo with a JZS161 front on it as a pace car at a drift battle day over here. Was wondering if anyone has thought about this and/or done it and if anyone knows if its almost a bolt on (like silvia/180sx nose swaps) or whether we are are talking selling a left testicle to a panelbeater in order to get it done?
looks flipping cool, and seeing as theres alot of aftermarket parts available for JZS161 then that would be super sweet. just think... CUSTOM HEADLIGHTS
anyway let me know your 2c.
i might be going way too far here, but what about a supra front on an aristo.. how freaking cool would that be?

seeing as i have a mate with a jza80 supra, i might see if the bonnets swap over, as modding a bumper isnt too bad, but modding the heck out of guards and bonnets.. now were getting expensive.
I found this on one of my VIPCAR magazines. I thought it would be relevant to this thread, It's a JZS147 with JZS161 front and rear conversions and looks pretty hott IMO.

i know the guy that did that conversion you saw at the drifting, he said it was a freakin mission, and would never do it again. on that note, it was all done in metal, not fibreglass or bog, so was a lot of work...
frankly, i prefer the 147 front end, just want some nicer headlights, same design, just glass, the plastic faded look bugs me... _________________
