Yep.


Cool, I love those cars yet to own a factory turbo one though as they have always been to pricey to convert to manual. Instead I have gone the other way and bought a factory manual GX100 and plan on dropping in the 1jz when funds allow


So far I'm really impressed with it. The brakes are fantastic! I'd like to convert it to manual at some stage but last night I took it for a drive over some twisty's to find that if you put it in 2nd the torque and power band makes it nice and fun from a crawl up to 'the speed limit'.

Yeah i heard the auto is pretty good, thats interesting about the brakes though cause i heard they were pretty much the weakpoint of this car, especially on the track. people often upgrade to supra 4 pots atleast, but im thinking celsior 4 pots thought for mine which have slightly smaller rotors.
Currently rocking 1G-FE power

Who knows, maybe mine has some decent pads fitted? The brake rotors them selves are surprisingly big at 295mm by 32mm thick.

On the road they pull it up really quick, I also took it for a spirited drive in controlled conditions and didn't have any worries. Going back to my Landcruiser will be like putting a boot out the door to brake :lol: Even our Curren which quite good brakes feels wooden afterwards.

I've heard that Aristo's have lack luster brakes, but that may be because of the weird nitrogen assist set up needing regassing?
