Aristo!!
#16
100% stock as far as the dealer has told us, I have oil temp,boost and oil pressure gauges coming. And ill be getting a tune when it lands. I'll be running 16PSI on the stock turbo's which is the perfect amount. The car is pretty much stock which is what i want!!

oh wow wtf, thats amazing. If only they did they for the US models. No wonder! I wonder how much it would cost to have a GS shipped from Japan to the US and change the driving side, probably not worth the expense.

To get something like the Aristo(or a R34 Skyline, etc) LEGALLY registered and through US customs is about impossible. To import a car that is 25 years old or newer it must meet all US crash and emissions standards. Since a RHD Aristo was never crash tested for the US market, it doesn't meet safety regs and would be confisacted by customs.

It's a 25 year rule in the U.S. So we can't legally ship/get a aristo in the states yet. But that's why you see so many people swapping the twin turbo aristo motor into their GS's to almost have the same thing as what the people in Japan get factory.

OP that is one hell of a score you got there. I'm jelly lol.

To do that swap you're looking at a parts bill alone of anywhere from $3-10k depending on how wild of a build you want to do. Not to mention a stock as a rock GS300 or SC300 that is that clean with 50k miles is going to run you $7700 anyways.

In no way shape or form was I saying that his car ( OP ) wasn't a deal if you see what I was responding to the guy was talking about having a aristo in the U.S. which is not legal so I was just stating thats why a lot of swapped cars are popping up now

Because here in central Florida, only the engine is around that prices. I have a guy in South Fl. can do everything for me (all swap) in 4 days and take my engine and tranny in exchange for $1,000.00 and I just need to pay 3,500.00 with the car running. He also, told me that he chance the main front, rear seal, water pump, the 2 cams seal, belt and gas pump. Also, the rear tranny seal and for $1,000.00 more the LSD Differential. I guess is a very go deal, because a friend do this already with that shop and not issue at all so far with his baby. The guy shop do this for year and also, he offer 2 week warranty in everything. So, in the end I need to pay $4,500.00 with everything on it but I know I can do this with a little help. Let me know if is better do it myself or pay 2k extra for it.
