Hello everyone,
I am going to be digging into my Aristo soon to do a timing belt, front main and cam seals. I wanted to know if its possible to get a workshop manual for the car? It would be great if lexus/toyota TIS would work for a JDM car but I don't believe it will. I could use TIS for a GS300 but I have the GTE engine. I'm sure most of the procedure is the same but it would be nice to have something specific to this car if possible. Let me know where you guys are getting your repair info!
Thank you!

I myself never found an Aristo workshop manual online. Curious if anyone knows of one. As a substitute I use a GS300 manual, and for GTE related work I look at a Supra manual.

 

Good to know, I’ll use those for sure then. Thank you!
But yeah an Aristo specific manual would be nice for sure.

 

Probably published in Japanese or something. I am sure there are plenty of DIY videos on YouTube that are 2JZ-GTE specific

 

Yeah I’ve seen some videos on youtube, I just prefer having all the torque specs and stuff laid out in front of me while I work. I’ll still definitely check some videos for JDM GTE specific stuff though

A printed manual in Japanese would be pretty cool to have.. I’ll search Ebay haha

 

I am sure one of those JDM importers can source you a copy from Malaysia or wherever they procure their inventory

 

Just use the Supra manual, I have used it numerous times.

Cheers Chris

 

Look what i stumbled upon and remembered this thhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/16643730074...mis&media=COPYread

 

Somebody should buy, scan, google photo translate the entire thing, and then upload it here hahaha

 

$530 bucks for the pair!! That’s quite the price tag for what essentially novelty items.

 

Considering the price of new cars in this category, I think that it will be cheaper to purchase these manuals with a personal hourly translator, assistant, secretary, concierge, or massage therapist.
