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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
