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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
