Had to go take a look its been 3 years and we're both partly correct, the high pressure side was the one that had to be modified. The low side only had to be bent a little.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the power steering or fuel lines. Both need to be modified on the SC400.

So if I swap a 92-97 SC400 transmission flange onto the Aristo auto transmission I can then use the 92-97 SC400 driveshaft?

Ps is cake as you just get metric to -6an fittings and use some earls fittings to make that and yes this what I have seen other people do in the past with the aristo trans which seems to work well.

I am not sure what they do for the fuel lines but I am sure it is easy.

Fuel lines are cake also on the 400. It has metal lines that terminate just inside the shock tower. Add some flexible fuel lines and you're golden.

Drift motion has a pre-made ps line that works great. Not a leak in three years!

Without the factory vacuum lines you're idle will drop when you turn the steering wheel at idle.

Aristo uses the same 111mm Supra Turbo flange. Only the 98-00 SC400 uses the same 111mm flange. 92-97 SC400 uses 101mm flange which will not fit the Aristo. If I can change the Aristo flange that solve the issue?

I never figured out multiple quotes. That's exactly what I did, but with the 300 trans mount.

Yea use the 92-97 sc400 tail shaft housing,flang and drive shaft along with the stock sc400 mount and cross member iirc properly.

Toss the aristo tail and flange in the trash and you will be good to go.

I want to source a 98-00 SC400 driveshaft and replace the differential flange instead.

Updated question...

If I bought the 2JZGTE and wanted to single it and throw away the stock ones, what needs to be done? Versus just keeping the stock ones.. I was looking at a Driftmotion T67 turbo kit.. Does a intercooler need to be done or is a necassary? Larger injectors, diffferent cams, etc?

Without the supporting modifications you will not be able to use the single turbo to it's full potential.
