I would say the rig was quite aerodynamic... I have read that the Aristo was the #1 most aerodynamic 4 door sedan built by any manufacturer in the decade of the 90's. To add to that, looking in the rear vision mirror, the zed was at perfect height for the wind deflecting off the Aristo, and the zed is quite aerodynamic in itself. Almost an Aerofoil really........
I pretty much had a Nissan Zed32 as a wing..... lol..... Nice bit of downforce right at the back
Not to mention, the car isnt even under boost while towing.... At LARGE hills, it would boost no more than 6psi and under 3000rpm

That's ok we need fuel for the fire at drift fest....
Umm the whole thing I mean
Here is a solution to the blown turbo....
Happen to stumble across a Garrett HKS T04-R (aka T67)......... I got one of the better stainless manifolds too (3.2mm).
The turbo has zero shaft play, and seems in great condition. Has done less than 10,000kms.... Front housing is .70 and the rear is a .96..... From reading about them, they are supposed to spool up quicker, compared to other turbos its size... Anyway, there is only one way to find out....

The car will be running a low boost, low power tune. I cant afford to upgrade the fuel system yet. The car has an Apexi Neo only to do the tuning....
But honestly, iam not not wanting big power. The cars main task is to be able to tow well. 500hp is not needed for towing.
Why this turbo then you ask? The price was right, it was local from a trustworthy guy/workshop, and I am pretty desparate just to get the car drivng again, as I've got stuff to tow!

Just turn the boost up , that thing is huuuge
From reading a forum thread, the is a guy who has done the exact same conversion, only differance was he had a HKS piggyback....
On the stock fuel system, the most they could tune it to was 1.2bar......
Still made 299kw and had full boost by 4000rpm......

nice car man. just I quick question, would you mind telling me what the fuel consumption is like? i'm considering getting one for a tow car.
Towing a Nissan 300zx from Richmond NSW to Canberra ACT, used 3/4 of a tank, and that is driving at 130kph
Costs about $120 to fill tho...
If you are going to tow with it, you HAVE to get a custom towbar setup fitted, to suit the chassis........
Even with my custom setup, towing is strongly recomended to keep it under 2 tonnes
