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.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
