I have a GS430 Second Generation - V8-powered with 300HP and looks just like this Toyota in this video... runs so smooth and is my daily driver in the traffic packed streets of Los Angeles - no matter how powerful the engine would be - it would not be optimal for me in my surroundings but my GS-430 is so reliable that I think I can easily hit 300k miles on the odometer

[@dungdoan9830]

I’m driving today a gs400 with 120k miles , I think it can go over 300k miles

[@turbogears900]

I love to see more of the aristo

[@Irishrob]

Lovely car, definitely my kind of thing John.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

You and me both! Share it anywhere you can as the figures will decide future content!

Great video John.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

Thank you, views are dreadful sadly.

[@silvercross2020]

picked up a gs300 last week cant wait to start working on it

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

Keep us posted, great car 🚗

[@ScottToomeyy]

Same here 😁 trying to source a vertex kit

[@2loudspeakers]

Very cool and rare car. Have you turned American?! ;-) It's "Two-Jay-Zed" 🙂 Good video. Keep them coming.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

I've been watching too much RUclips 😅

[@Turshin]

They had 4 wheel steering in Japan. Wow.

[@silvercross2020]

r32 gtr is the most famous for it

[@aleksiesko885]

many jdm cars in the 90s had it atleast 3rd gen honda prelude had it even in the late 80s

[@travisstamp7428]

Why doesn't it have hood struts?

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

Owner removed them when they installed the carbon fiber bonnet. They were opening it too forcefully

[@Raymo087]

Is this for sale?

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

No idea, the owner works in Vals Car Valet in Nenagh if you want to find out

[@mrman8856]

There's nothing VERTEX about this car lol. It's been changed completely.

[@SMLSammy]

womp womp

[@Technickcall]

That shift boot and manual gear knob is pretty awful

[@freestyleskyline]

Let me stop you right there.
Crown and aristo come with MULTIPLE ENGINE OPTIONS.
The 2jzgte Vvti aristo is twin turbo 3.0
The 1jzgte vvti is a 2.5 single turbo.

[@JohnsGarageIreland]

Never said it didn't, however in my local market it just came with one option. It pays to listen

[@psoup-rs8963]

as a owner of a Aristo V300 vertex... manual swaps are nightmares for these cars, even sourcing a supra gearbox it is a pain and i would not recommend unless you a dedicated to drifting and not daily driving.
PS: it is 2JZ not 1JZ, 2j is 3L and 1j is 2.5L

[@Ksilla007]

U dont have to specifically get a Supra trans, u can use a CD009 trans. Those are more common for the moment but then even still, you're still right. Its still a pain in the ass

[@thegame123ize]

I bought one very recently can u elaborate a little to why it's a bad idea?
