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.

Sorry mate, got confused about which comes with which engine... one more time for the dummies??

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...

Edited by Iron Chef

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.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

12 months away?!?!?!?! i have been wishing for these for AGES!!!! i'll keep my soarer for a little whlie i think... the soarer that i don't have that is.. haha

these cars are AMAZING

can't WAIT!!!! keep us in the loop

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

Edited by iamhe77

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.

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
