The Twin Turbo Toyota Aristo V300 is the Best Bargain in JDM Luxury! 

When u go TTC. The kick in is much more dramatic :D

I own a GS300 with 2jzgte! The best 4 door Supra! LHD is better!

Technically, he is correct. The vvti system does kick in the cams.

Mine came with a vvti

The first gen GS is the first car to ever have the 2JZ-GTE. Before the Supra

Turbo the ge, but you need to do the bottom end lol

Saw a beautiful one today for sale.I had led bulbs installed on my Toyota Century at the dealership I bought it.

Say LESS ! And to get it imported? Damn ima check google rn that’s insane

@@thedon4188 my comment was a year ago. It ain't like that now 😅

@@ProductofNZnah still the same I’ve seen some for about 9-12 k still cheap for what you’re getting

Not anymore. They're much more now. I just imported a non turbo 98 Aristo with 53,000 miles for 8.6k with fees and everything.

You can buy a gs300 and 2j gte swap or 2j Nat but it's Toyota reliability in a luxury sedan

@@rawknowledge5096 I already have a built 1.5jz sc300 and a is300 nat. Wish I had the room for a gs300 project.

I do it everyday! On just 480hp, with around 420 torque. The torque is why I get em in the first 200 ft, lol.

How you getting on with it? I had a gs300 a while back. Toying with getting the aristo now

Those are after market front and back, same as the body kit but yeah it does look really good none the less

I'll sell you a 2000 #10 made Lexus GS300 that has 125k miles on it, and comes with a 2JZ-GE, all you need to do is upgrade the engine to GTE status and that can be done for about 2,500-5,500 to produce at least an extra 200-400 horse power

Isn’t it cheaper to just buy an aristo?

@@NowIknowCh most aristos are right hand drive. Also gs300 is more luxurious since its a lexus

Same lol

@@avs1109 Just got mine 2 weeks ago. 1997 V300 Vertex Edition.

@@Tokyodriving How much did you pay?

@@davidrespect6471 750000yen

Same lmao bought an 10th anniversarry version full option vid is on my channel

Actually it was. Also was no sunroof

In japan, leather is considered snobby & uncomfortable. The most expensive luxury cars often come with a wool fabric interior.

Fact: Leather seats aren't a luxury item.

@@DougalYoungTOYOTA CENTURY has suede cloth seats! Doesn't crack or fade!!!

@Shawnsta 777 Why do you think leather isn't popular on JDM luxo vehicles?

Nah just makes the gearbox shift harder

Stronger than the Barra aswell👍🏽

@Shawnsta 777 the barra is a awesome engine tho. I love both the 2j and barra. Considering the 2j is a 3.0l and the barra being a 4.0l, the 2j is more impressive imho.

Stronger but both amazing engines with huge potential

*2012

@@ogmechsftw thank you

I'm from NZ, and those are pretty common around here

Yessir v8 gang

Well they're pretty much the same car just branded differently, it's called Toyota Aristo over seas in Japan and Lexus GS300,400,430 in United States

Does the vertex have lsd? I had a gs300 and it didn't but it was a UK car nod JDM

I'm working on that haha

It's the first thing I saw too, glad I scrolled through the comments first! :D

I'd pay the 2000 more for an aristo looks are way better

@@kylemorris5180 would cost 5000 more. double the value

Same license plates too

Aristocrat comes from aristo

Aristo in Greek means 'the best'

Not so lucky once they become legal in USA

Colin Charan-Kumpula settle down bruh take care of covid first😅

Well we can always get the GS300 and buy the Aristo motor.

@@colincharan-kumpula6424 when do they become legal in USA? prices are gonna climb in japan when they do :(

@@yungswegz2777 next year (2021) I have a 97 2nd gen aristo that I’m planning to sell to the US for a hefty profit lmao

Why people do this when you can import mint aristo for 10 to 12 k I'm not sure

Because car builds are fun

@@joshuawilliams5642 i get it but buy a whole aristo by the time you buy a LSD,2jz and an auto it would cost more then you can get all the sweet JDM bits too

@Shawnsta 777 not that it's a bad idea but an aristo is much cheaper than a clean 300 with a turbo kit and a tune

@@kylemorris5180 A 2nd Gen 300 is only $1,500-8k here depending on mileage, maintenance etc. But it still comes with a 2jz. So let's go in the middle $4,000 for a 125k 04 GS300 ( what I paid ) in good/great condition. You can reseal and turbo for around 2-5k and get 400 RELIABLE whp, 600 if you pushing it and plan on it lasting for only 50k miles. Next you could open up the engine for an extra 2-4k rods, pistons, studs, cams, head gasket, things like that for up to like 800 whp...Or you can just go GTE for 8k these days and say FORGET THE FUTURE, TRASH THE TWINS, GO BIG TURBO, 25 PSI AND SEND IT!!!...Point is America can't get these cars yet until 2024 so there are thousands sitting in shipyards, warehouses in Japan waiting that were sold for 10k years ago. YESTERDAY'S PRICE IS NOT TODAY'S PRICE...So buy a Lexus GS300 98-05 2nd Gen for under 5k, and spend another 5-15k for a WHOLE NEW rebuild with a turbo engine...

final konnexion

Onestar Explorer. That's about the only reason I clicked this was hoping he'd talk about it more than rambling about 2j 2j 2j lol

1UZ can make very high hp numbers from boost. It's a sleeper engine

Yes but minus the turbo. Lexus gs never had the turbo

$1.50 a litre here in Australia

Yup! Few weeks back. @roadsuntraveled on IG to keep up!

@@RoadsUntraveled true didnt even think to check ur IG I was looking on both your RU-vid channels

It’s called, final konnexion

*2022* for the first model years 1997

😂🤣

Good luck getting one bro 😎

Actually I bought a supra instead. 😂

Petar E 😂🤣 u still made a great choice bro congrats hope u got a good warranty too 😎

@@theodoreyoung8777 thank you so much! No warranty though, 1994 car lol

Revs out a little longer from 6600 to 6900

Kyle Morris not on mine lol makes mine go from 6350 to 6500 redline nothing more

@@Boostlifelex in second and first it's hard to notice the Rev difference Rev out 3rd in normal then in sport. I'm not saying it is this great thing but I'll take those extra 15 km/hr going into 4th

I got mine for 6k landed around 6 years ago.

@@funkaydonkey yep they were around 6k when I got my first two in 2014-2015. Now the market is asking for near and over 10k in Canada

You definitely don't have any taste. That's a Black Pearl Luxury Line body kit. And those upgraded projector headlights and led rear taillights are beautiful.

Speak for yourself. I think it looks more modern with subtle changes

@@804MRMAN The only people that say “you don’t have taste” are the ones that don’t have taste. It’s all subjective, and to call art “not subjective” is an indicator of an uneducated view on art.

@@MeatPez You're irrelevant...

@@804MRMAN ironic. Getting mad at the truth are we? Oh well
