Another win! :happy:

The JZS171/UZS173 Crown and Crown Majesta are now eligible in both sedan and wagon versions. Eligible motors are 1JZ-GTE and 1UZ-FE. This one actually took a fair bit of work to get through, but we got there in the end!

Remember it's still early days, but it does mean we can start work on getting plates for them, around 12 months away.

It does kinda defeat the purpose of it. But I would like to see someone drifting the sh1t out of one over here.

Correct! There's a good reason you're hearing this from me first - we were the ones who got the S17 series on SEVS in the first place, and have been working hard on it with the workshops for the 18 m

1UZ-FE V8 - sedan only

1JZ-GTE - sedan and wagon

Phil, the Crown/Crown Majesta/Crown Athlete thing confused them a bit, as did the fact that I didn't bother listing a few engine variants because the chassis numbers didn't match up, hence they're referred to as S17 series in the application...

Nope you'll be looking at $20K at least I suspect - they were a 5.5 million yen car when they were released...

Phil probably knows better than I do, but if you want black, expect to pay shitloads more.

Unless under way already unfortunately this will more then likely end up on the SEVS list and go no further, Kristian does the work for people to get them on the SEVS list then no one buys cars as no workshop wants to commit to a new unknown model no matter how good they are.

Some business have screwed some workshops so much they are closing down or will not spend any money on test cars for quite a while. If people paid a fair price for compliance there would be money in the bank for test cars not just enough money to get by (not all workshops).

Dunno much about them (yet), which build years are eligible?

hmm... love the thought of an AWD twin turbo V8.... if only Toyota could figure out how to make a nice interior

Is the hearse spec one a longer tail or can you actually fit a coffin in the boot of a standard Crown?

If you can, that's an awesome selling point. Substitute coffin with 2by4 or surfboard depending on the client I suppose.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
