FOR SALE: 1984 MX73 Toyota Cressida GLXi

Location: ACT

Asking Price: $4,000 ONO

Killometer's: 160,000

Transmission: 4 Speed Automatic (recently had a major service with new torque converter)

Engine Type: 5ME AWWWW YEAH! Runs fine however the only issue I have ever had with it is that the valve stem seals are a little worn and it blows a bit of smoke if sitting for a little while or if it hasn't been started in a while.

Modifications: 2.5'' exhaust with up swept twin tips (a little loud but sounds pretty nice), New Eaton TrueTrac LSD (I has a major service done on the diff when this was put in as well), slightly lower springs from AJPS with 7kg in the front and 5kg in the rear.

Registration: Not at the moment as I haven't driven it the last 9 months. I will chuck 3 or 6 months rego on it in the next couple of weeks.

Crash History: No Accident History however there is a dent on the bonnet from a drongo woman putting her christmas shopping on it while loading it into her car which I can hopefully get fixed by the local PDR guy.

Faults:

The only things wrong with it are really small things.

The automatic aerial mast is broken so the aerial doesn't go up and down.

Shocks are feeling a little bit worn since I had the springs put in, nothing major just a bit of roll.

There are a few knicks in the paint work but everything is tidy and straight.

Other Comment's about the vehicle:

Car is a great daily, I drove it ever day for 2 years after I got it off my old man who owned it for years and was going to turn it into a shakotan/boso cruiser however I bought an R34 and it got put on the back burner. Since then I have moved into a smaller place and just don't have room for it anymore and need the money for a house deposit or ring.

Other things I have done in the time owning it is put in a new radiator and power steering rack and had a major service done on the auto box with a new torque converter as it just felt old.

Other than that I have kept it regularly serviced and it has run like a dream and never given me any troubles.

The car will also come with:

A set of 15x6.5 SSR MK1's.

An average condition set of Work Ewing mesh with some skid worthy tyres.

Front lip i got from japan and just haven't pained and fitted to the car, I might end up fitting it before it sells.

I also have some other bits and pieces I collected like rings for the front hubs for the 300zx brake conversion, front strut brace from the rex kellway group buy on here a while ago, a clutch pedal and a few other bits i started collecting for a manual gearbox conversion probably some other bits and pieces too.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
