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..

As said before, it'll be worth every penny!

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!

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.

which is why I bought mine manual first and wil go turbo when funds allow....

Boom! Good stuff!

Hey! I'm pretty sure those are jzx100 or jzx110 pedals.. Either or, I'm sure I held one of those before

prob jzx100 pedals as I thought jzx110 came standard with aluminium pedals instead of rubber?

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.
