Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
nice ride, manual conversion will be worth every penny.
Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
pricey though there is a complete supra manual conversion kit for 5k on tm
Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
Welcome to the forums!
This is the least of your problems as the aristo never came out in manual. Hence, heaps of parts will need to be fabricated from the area were the firewall meets the clutch pedal, proper hand brakes, interior, and custom driveshafts..gtivvl wrote:pricey though there is a complete supra manual conversion kit for 5k on tm

Luckily I got a few parts off a guy who imported a front cut manual converted Aristo, all he needed was the engine and box. So i grabbed the clutch and brake peddles along with the clutch master cylinder and gearbox crossmember. the only fab work needed is a custom driveshaft. il also need a standalone ecu (6 speed vvti jza80 ecu is a mish to find) jza80 6speed diff and ofcourse either a v160/v161 gearbox which is not not hard to find but are $$, but as said earlier will be well worth it!murdoko wrote:This is the least of your problems as the aristo never came out in manual.

Here some of the parts i have, plus some other stuff i have in storage, thinking of doing the conversion first before anything else lol! im not used to driving a turbo auto, just doesnt feel right.
Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
which is why I bought mine manual first and wil go turbo when funds allow....
Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
Boom! Good stuff!
Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
Hey! I'm pretty sure those are jzx100 or jzx110 pedals.. Either or, I'm sure I held one of those before
Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
prob jzx100 pedals as I thought jzx110 came standard with aluminium pedals instead of rubber?
Re: TRD2JZ 03' JZS161
Nah jzx110 came with rubbers. I bought a new set from Japan a few months back. Also, I have a set of jzx100 manual pedals in the shed but haven't looked at it in a while.gtivvl wrote:prob jzx100 pedals as I thought jzx110 came standard with aluminium pedals instead of rubber?
