  • White exterior, plush blue velour interior
  • 3.0L six (7M-GE)
  • A340 electronic auto
  • Climate control aircon - regassed ~2 years ago, farken FREEZING
  • Tinted windows - good quality T35 metallic tint, professionally done ~3 years ago

  • Comfy as!
  • Selling UNREGISTERED (ran out of rego a couple of weeks ago)
  • Car is located on the north side of Brisbane
  • $1500 ono - make me an offer!

Reason for sale

We have two other cars and a bike so I really don't need the Cressida any more, and it's killing the grass :rofl: I bought the car a few years ago as a comfy commuter and it did the job beautifully, but we've moved onto a newer daily driver and could use the proceeds from selling the Cressida around the house.

Other info

It's like riding a pillow - it really is the most comfortable car I've ever driven. It won't set the world alight but that's really missing the point - that said, they do suit JZ engine swaps extremely well, making it the ideal sleeper!

It isn't perfect though, the paint on the roof is a little cracked and it has a miss at idle. I haven't done any checking so it could be as simple as a fouled plug or a dead plug lead. I also suspect it has a small intake leak, which I haven't looked for. The auto works better when it's warm - when it's cold it sometimes sticks in 1st gear. The tacho doesn't always work (just a loose connection as sometimes a tap on the dash will fix it) and a previous owner broke the clips holding the section of the dash below the steering wheel on, it's currently held on with tape as I've been too lazy to find a new one. The steering wheel needs replacement as the foam has separated from the wheel.

To be honest it probably doesn't need much done to it, but I don't have the time or motivation to do it. As a result, you get a very cheap car that needs a little work. All it should need for roadworthy is a steering wheel, fix the miss, and secure the dash panel below the steering wheel. As far as I know, everything else is legal. It was registered up until the 11th of July and I haven't renewed it as I don't drive it much any more.

Price is $1500 ono as-is, unregistered. You'll need to bring a car trailer, tow truck, or trade plate to get it home legally. If you're quick I may be able to assist with cheap towing.

Contact

I can be contacted by PM or you can just post in here, or you can PM me for my phone number.

I can't believe nobody wants a cheap luxo barge!

Don't be put off by the imperfections, I think you'll find that a lot of second-hand cars have problems, the seller just doesn't tell you about them. I'm being as up-front as I can with this sale, so you shouldn't get any surprises.

Come on fellas, you know you want it, make me an offer, I need it gone!

G'day.

Have you thought of putting this ad on jxz100.com? Lots of the Chaser boys like these old girls.

And yes with a 1JZ or 2JZ you have possibly the ultimate sleeper.

Tell you what, I will throw a link in the for sale forum over there for you.

I used to drive a R33, but now I have gone over to the dark side...

cheers

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Passenger Door stuck R34 GTT

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
