no i won't.

haha

nah i went out monday night n got driven around in my mates VT commode.

and while they are nasty pieces of gutless uninspiring shit... i must admit it was nice to get out of the back seat and have my own door to get out of...

kinda made me miss my cefiro a lil bit...

so i came home all starry eyed for a JZS171...

...then i found out the difference between crown athlete n crown majesta... and realised i would rather a majesta :)

i don't want another turbo car - i want a V8!

Andrew - to be quite honest it's not that they're cheap really... if anything they're appropriately priced - let's be honest, as far as a japanese owner is concerned they're a ~12 year old car that needs inspections done every year now...

...and many are nearing 100,000km which everybody KNOWS that means the car will explode any day now

so if anything they're quite reasonably priced...

...there's one at USS that goes up tomorrow in Tuubu...

it's 202 black onyx.

101,000km

1UZFE

4 stars

2002 build

black paint with tan leather interior

has either aftermarket height controller - or aftermarket coilovers... either way it's lowered.

rims look like weds kranze somethings's's?

kristian would you mind letting us know (pm if you want) (or inbox my facebook) how much this goes through at?

auction ID is apparently:

FUN3722

because ^^^ that car is what i would be trying to import...

i know that compliance is cheap on a test car... but at any rate... i simply cannot justify waiting around for a year or so to await testing etc..

when after getting my damn car delivered to me here out in perth in the year 2012...

...i get this:

http://74.53.162.34/imgs/pfzFGIAwxKq6oMmA1VwoTfteFRgkjRGatRzDLvnh9gWmuknWIbbNSbNae2

:/

unless kristian is keen to broker me a white fridge mobile, then comply it... then i on-sell it as someone's project car..

....THEN get a 202 black onyx baller one ;-)

You are right about the price...silly me is still in the world of people asking 15k for a 20year old Gtst

well... that's australia, i guess... in some instances i can kind of see their justification...

...i mean (sorry to talk about soarers) but Masato is selling his soarer at the moment i think he wants 23K for it...

which YEAH it's a lot of money... but..

where else can you get a 2 door sports coupe with all the features that come with a soarer, plus adj suspension and wide body vertex ridge kit and SSR 19in wheels etc, with custom paint that's actually tasteful etc...

i mean in those instances i can kinda see where THOSE owners are coming from...

one guy is selling a black R33 GTR for 30 grand... and while that price sounds ludicrous for a 15-17 year old car...

..fact is - it's immaculate. and you can't get a similar car for that price.

the japanese market is strange. over here - if a car is modified. it decreases the value, it's labelled as "cop bait" and the car is worth nothing unless you keep every single receipt in a shoebox.

over there... mods add value to the car.

but yeah - i envisage the crowns to be priced accordingly.. that is either:

scenario 1

valued as what you would expect to pay for a 10/12 year old car that's white n silver two tone that needs shaken inspection in about a months' time.

scenario 2

valued as what you would expect to pay for a 10/12 year old car that's black onyx paint without a scratch on it. kept in parking garage, looked after leather seats with books and service history, a few mods that keep the car looking like a new car.. and brand new tyres too...

price your budget around that :P

Yeah there are some cars out here that are worth the coin...Im happy with what i paid for mine even though i know you can buy them for 1500 bucks these days

Youre talkin gaboot the Black 33 R in the FS section on here right? If so I would give my left nut for that car! It is so nice! and imo he is asking too little for it.

Quick question on the topic of Toyota Sedans...is the JZX100 Cresta avaliable under sevs? or Just the Chaser and MkII...I would assume they are but Ive never seen one.

the guys on the JZX forums told me they were, but they may have been having a laugh because AFAIK they are not on the SEVS list...

and i dunno i actually saw it on soarercentral. it's balck... immaculate and has CR-kais

and a certain in-demand custom plate.

perosnlaly if i were him i'd be carrying that car to my grave. i wouldn't even pass it on to my first born incase they get it wet.

mmmm... only way i'd have a white one is with black interior...

or leather..

and besides - sif buy that one!!! no sunroof!!! ahaha

you NEED a sunroof..

NO LEATHER? NO LIFE!!

but nah the white one's nice... i do like white cars :)

i like both cloth and leather, cloth is quieter and cozier than leather to be honest

and man up - if you own a black car it means you have to wash it once a week or so...

...if you own a black car it means you have to give it a detail every 3 months - big whoop :)

least you have a wicked looking car that way! :)

you only get swirls if you:

a)polish your paint using a scourer

b)take your car onto a gravel rally and cover it in red dirt. then use a nasty cut compound mixed with water on your paint without washing the red dirt off of it

you dont get swirls if you're not a retard about car maintenance :P

  • 1 year later...
  • 7 months later...

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 months from then till now.

Two workshops, one in Melbourne, one in Sydney, now have compliance plates for:

JZS171 - Crown Estate sedan and wagon (1JZ-GTE)
UZS171 - Crown Majesta sedan (1UZ)
UZS173 - Crown Majesta (1UZ and AWD)

Landed and complied, you'll be looking at prices from $13-20K depending on kms and condition, the wagons are the most expensive.

No doubt our rivals will email you about it once they read it on the Iron Chef Facebook page ;)

    • 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
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
