Not sure why your telling people this. As it absolutely was not standard on the 161, it was of course an option but is actually fairly uncommon to find.

Just like alot of people on the forum have gotten false information that all 161's have LSD's when infact it was an option, but a large portion of the aristo diffs opened up turn out to non-lsd..

That's what I can understand from the japanese brochure. It is standard on all turbo aristo, except the TOM'S Edition. Unless the brochure was wrong. hehehe...... LSD is definitely an option.

All 161s have ARS (active rear steering), this is definite (check out clubaristo) but you are correct in the fact not all 161s have LSDs, in fact most don't.

ARS is an annoying feature that is the bane of most 161 owners, when it is working it makes the car feel weird when driving hard, and when it doesn't (play in the end links) it is very expensive to fix.

Hence why most either look for Tom's ARS cancelation bar (or an alternative that clubaristo member is working on) or go more extreme and replace with gs300 subframe.

< 161 owner

That's my intention bro. To make this car one of a kind. Black wood with saddle to go along with all the JDM stuff .

Thanks to the hommie Big Ty, I picked those up from him when I initially thought the car I was getting had cloth interior.

We switched the skins from the SD seats onto the JDM seats so no rewiring was necessary. The rear seat and door panels were all the same. We just switched the window switches to the SD door panels. I still need an armrest to recover in saddle because I will be selling my black armrest with the black seats and door panels. I must say it's exactly how I imagined it turning out.

OK... You're officially getting a little ridiculous now... Hats off to you and the car. Next time I am in NY, I would love to check out your car man... We can be friends and hang out and stuff... In all seriousness though, would definitely love to see it, I am either getting an Aristo or a Skyline... Not sure which as of yet...
