Toyota Aristo 3.0V Twin Turbo 2JZ-GTE (LEXUS GS300 / GS400)

1993 Toyota Other Description

This 1993 Toyota Aristo 3.0V is a mostly factory stock example that was recently aquired by Zen Autoworks from the original Canadian owner. The car was imported into Canada from Japan in 2009 and has full service history since plus many Japanese service inspection reports. The twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE 3.0L inline 6 is mated to a 4 speed automatic with factory "power" and "normal" switched modes. The rear differential features a factory LSD.

The exterior is finished in alpine silver metalic and 90% of the body is factory original paint. The rear of the car has some high quality respray that was purely cosmetic. All metal and plastic panels on the car are original and show factory welds and seam sealing throughout. There is no rust at all on the body, in the engine bay, in the trunk area or under the doors. There is only light surface rust on the undercarraige parts in keeping with the age of the car ... no holes or flaking.

There is a scuff to the front bumper left corner and also a light scuff to the plastic body panel behind the front left wheel. The left exterior mirror has some touch up paint on the outter trim presumably to cover another scuff. The metal panels are straight with no noticable parking dents. The clearcoat is glossy and smooth through the entire exterior of the car.

The original factory Toyota windshield is still in place with only very light pitting.

The interior is super clean with only three small burns in the seat fabric. The car does not smell of smoke at all inside and in fact still smells a bit of factory plastics. The passenger seat works intermitanlty as it could use a regreasing of the tracks. We imagine the seat was not used much and has gummed up as the motors all sound healthy. All other functions inside work including the factory stereo with subwoofer and optional air purifier. The electric folding mirrors operate properly and feature the rare ultrasonic demister option.

The car has only been modified with recently installed Megan Racing EZ coilovers, a Supra waterpump and requisit electric fan upgrade for ease of maintenance, and a set of 18" genuine staggered 2 pc Work Euroline rims wrapped in new Yokohama 245/45R18 rear and 225/45R18 front Avid Envigor tires. The Eurolines are 7/10 condition with some curbing/scratches and light corrosion. They could do with a full restoration to make perfect. The car drives straight with no vibration or pulling.

The timing belt, tensioner, crank/camshaft seals, sparkplugs, valve cover gasket, acc belts, waterpump and thermostat were replaced in 2016 at 130,000km (81,000miles) by Exceed Automotive Specialties of Saskatoon, SK.
