Hey guys

Im looking at selling my crown so thought id put it up here as an EOI. Plans was to keep this as a cruiser and as original as possible with only minor mods like wheels and maybe an exhaust system. But as always plans have changed.

Vehicle details are below:

1990 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon G

1UZFE 4.0L V8 (pretty economical for a v8. Daily duties sees its at close to 500 a tank. Freeway driving gets its close to 800 to a tank)

109XXXkms

4sp auto

Pearl white over silver (very straight body. No bog or rust on any panels)

The car is very stock. No modification what so ever.

The car has factory airbags all working as they have recently been replaced. An aftermarket data systems height controller has been fitted so you can drop the car below factory specs or raise them.

The interior is very old school. Only aftermarket thing fitted to the car is a pioneer Bluetooth and DVD head unit.

ALL ELECTRICS WORK. Full power seats, reclining rear seat (yes thats right...the rear seats recline and its very comfy :P), electric adjustable steering wheel, central locking, dual zone climate control, fridge in parcel shelf, the list goes on.

A great example of a car this old in pristine condition. You will not be disappointed with how original this car is

as for the asking price, this is an EOI as ill only sell if i get close to what im asking. car is eligable for club rego in a couple of years so can always make a good "collectors" car.

$9000 WITH 12mnth rego AND RWC.

the car just recently went through roadworthy and passed with flying colours with all bushes etc in excellent condition. under neath the motor is bone dry which shows the car has never had an oil leak.

any inspections are more then welcome.

car is located SE suburbs melbourne and i have a workshop with a hoist at your disposal to inspect underneath the car also if needed.

pics ill post by sunday.

thanks

Ash

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
