Okay, I'm too lazy to use the search function so sue me.

I'm going to Japan on Thursday for a two-week vacation, and I want to keep my eyes open for GS's. I know it's called the Toyota Aristo over there, but what are the various models? Are there any other cool cars I should look out for?

Any chance you want to bring back some parts?

I could use some sway bars for real!

Have a good time.

For Aristo, there are S300 and V300. I've been to Japan many times and everytime I was there, I had a hard time to come back without getting a R34. Even walking on the street, I saw some pretty amazing cars.

what part of japan? where will you be staying? if you go to different cities, you'll notice the people mod their cars differently from city to city. i think you'll have fun looking at the 500cc cars all over the city. go to a mall (they're usually attached to larger train stations), go to the book store(usually top floors) and get yourself some car magazines. also take lots of extra shirts and underwear cuz trust me, you will be sweating your a** off it's so humid. the other people pretty much said all the cool cars but you can also look for the MarkII cuz i think the new one is pretty tight for a family type sedan. if you like drifting you can go to certain places like at 1AM and out of nowhere all these skylines will come and compete... but you gotta know where they'll be. have fun!!!!!!!!!!! i know you will.

If you wanna see some sweet cars take a look out for the
y32cima I believe it is the Q45 here in the US.
The "presidential" nissan is also a nice looking car.
Other cars that caught my eye are
the Mitsubishi Evolution 6 and 7
Toyota Soarer = SC 400
