You certainly could buy a supra for that money (I know as thats what I sold my supra for to buy this car) One difference neither the 300 Z or the supra have useable back seats mate. Also in Blighty most of the supra's are auto's.

Theres pictures there and I'll be doing more at the weekend
How much do you reckon a decent JDM aristo twin turbo is to buy in Japan? On a 95 with 60,000 miles? Mint paintwork, 19" Blitz Z1 technospeeds, leather, HID's, Stainless through exhaust, 2 way LSD, Oil cooler, Adjustable coilovers, and a full Kazz sports bodykit. Oh and then get a getrag 6 speed box and fit it? I know how much it is as I just bought it. Shipped and taxed at my end cost me £10k UK money. Since then I've put new tyres on all round and have new US spec supra brakes that have polished calipers and a couple of Defi gauges with the controller to go on as well. I've changed the oils and filters including the diff and tranny fluid. Don't get me wrong I am not taking offence at all just explaining why the car costs so much.

Puss is an old term I learned from some older fellas around my office, I guess they used to say it back in the day so I picked up on it. I have heard a few other people say it since.

That or if you don't mind a JDM ie right hand drive motor and have a few quid to spare you could buy my manual 6 speed pimped twin turbo 2JZ-GTE engined street racer with circa 400 bhp.
In Japan VERY FEW Aristos where available with the Supra M/T drivetrain. I think it was part of a limited package that Toyota put thogether... You are actually the second englishman that I've seen with a manual Aristo. And yes, this would be a DIRECT swap. I'm trying to find a crashed TT or you can just get a front clip off of a TT supra with an engine... Epik, you should look this up. It's really not that hard with the exeption of taking the dashboard and seats appart... fo reals, with the car appart, this swap should not take long... about 20hrs including cutting and modifying the handbrake. Oh, you have a PM!

The other manual car is at DJ Craigs a trader in the UK. It has a big single turbo and is stripped out for drag strip use so not really a road car. http://www.djcraig.co.uk/GetDealer.d...20701&pageid=1

The japanese like their cars modified so there will be more manual conversions there than anywhere else but I have been watching the auctions and so have importer freinds of mine for over 6 months and mine is the only one that has come up for sale in that time (mine was at a dealers and not at auction BTW). Over 100 aristo's come up for auction in Japan every week so in 20 odd weeks none have been manual at all (thats exlusivity for you lol)

The footbrake handbrake comes out and the clutch pedal goes in there. The master cylinder just goes in exactly the same place as it does in the supra the kit comes out of. Incidentally I have found another one in japan. Its a bit of a monster though. T88 turbo.
T88-34D turbo + waste gate valve
Ex manifold
HKS Cam shafts + pulleys
Blitz intercooler + pipes
Injectors
Koyo radiator
6MT gear box
OS triple plate clutch
TRD mounts
TOMEI LSD
Brakes hoses
Recaro seat
HKS EVC
HKS F-CON
APEXI ECV
MOMO steering
Now thats a street beast Its cosmetically challenged apparently but at $15-20k delivered its a bargain.
