Aristopheles

R33 GTR for me.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys!

Skeet - not sure about the MkII, but on the MkI all they needed to do was cut the edge of the backing plate away as the Supra discs are bigger and trim around the bracket mounting holes as part of the backing plate was in the way, but after that they went on without a hitch.

Mr. Singh - if you mean the vains inside the disc, then yes they are.

Massive imporvement! Especially as one caliper was binding and the other had seized!

The entire kit was around £1300-1400.

I've fitted 2 pot Supra calipers at the rear with 3G grooved Supra rear discs.

Check out these bad boys!

355mm grooved discs, 6 pot calipers - serious stoppage! B)

Because there are not that many standard TT Supras about nowadays. The most simplist and cheap mod to do to a Supra is large front mount and restricter ring / FCD to up the boost to 1.2 bar. Which is pretty much the max the turbos can take...

So YOU are telling me that an Aristo will beat a Supra???

Dream on Pal ;)

Not sure where you got the idea that an FMIC is one of the cheapest mods or one of the ones that are required for BPU. Simplest Supra mods are FCD, exhaust, decat, restrictor ring, spark plugs and fuel pump which are all required to be at BPU safely, boosting 1.2bar as you said, and all these also apply to the Aristo which will see identical power gains. If an identical Supra went up against an Aristo, the Supra would win as it is substantially lighter, but I wouldn't say it would be a complete whitewash.

It might be there for a good reason, but Japanese cars are the *only* cars I've ever driven that have warning beeps to tell you that you're in reverse. 'R' and 'D' are pretty far apart on the gear selector, plus you've got the gear indicator right ahead of you in the dash and the gear selector itself will be sat in almost the same position as it would be in Park, so there are a lot of things to tell you that you're about to go backwards. Plus if you want to fit reversing sensors, the beep will clash and must go.

Funny you should mention a forum, I was thinking about that just the other week. It's got potential I reckon.

Make sure you do!

Or just buy one from here in the UK

I'd love to mate, but I can't find one - Edworthys only do them for the Mk2 according to the website.

Welcome aboard Michel - one pimptastic Aristo you have there!

Seb (also off the Supra forum)

Email a chap called Nic - importpimp@mac.com. He's a trader on the Supra forum who's based in Hong Kong and can get all sorts of parts - he sorted out a double DIN fascia plate for one of the guys on here.

Good stuff, welcome aboard!

Just a quick one - when you change to an aftermarket headunit, I know you have to change the amp as it won't work. Do you need to get a normal amp or a monoraul sub specific amp that some companies do? Cheers

Seb

Thats a non turbo. That one on ebay was also the non turbo. I am pretty sure that all the MK1s' on Autotrader apart from the one with the black wheels are normally aspirated. A 92 Aristo TT went for £3700 only about a month back on ebay & that did not have leather. It is like ahhh__aristo said "an objects value is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it"

Ah, well spotted, my mistake. I'm sure you'll love it!

Nice looking Mk1 on Autotrader now for £2495 with 65k miles and full leather - bargain if you ask me. Saw a Mk2 on eBay that didn't sell, even at £4500, in good condition and with reasonable mileage.

Edited to add: It's not the silver one on Autotrader with the black wheels is it? If it is, it's a bit overpriced at near enough £5k.

Welcome aboard Martin :D

Lots more torque mind - I believe 316lb/ft is the official figure for the JDM 2JZ-GTE egine.

Perhaps the HKS Silent Hi Power - fully stainless, cat back, 3" piping into twin 2.5" piping with twin 4" tips, around £580. Blitz Nur Spec also comes in Aristo specific fitment, wider piping, but worse ground clearance, similar cost.

Most of the arm rests I've seen in Aristos are the bigger style with the pop-out cup holders at the front, but I've just got a plain old regular arm rest. Does anyone know why?

I'm not Tom :D

Sorry mate, got confused!

Has to be said, stock stereo is pretty damn good, will aftermarket ICE be a marked improvement? Who do you recommend for the kit? I've seen what you're getting over on the Supra forum Tom, looks very good.

It all sounds very complicated, far beyond my non-existent abilities, but I'm assuming it should be breeze for any competent audio specialist? To clarify, you need a new head unit, new amp and that will all connect up to all the speakers and the sub and run fine? Cheers

I don't have an answer, but I'm assuming you're certain that your car has these electronic shocks? Where they standard or optional? I only ask because I've never noticed any difference, although I have sport springs anyway, so the ride is always hard.

That one off eBay USA for £4 has a single DIN radio slot and oversized storage space beneath.

Excellent, let us know how you get on with that.
