JZS171 Crown Street Build

[hierojz]

Hey all,

Figured I would start a little build thread on my new rig!

Car was imported by me with the help of Dori Junkie here in Queensland Brisbane back in May / June of 2021.

Here is a photo of it before it left Japan. Originally from Gifu Chubu region.

I will post a full breakdown along with some updates soon!

Ohhh I’m down with the land yachts!

love a crown, I didnt think cars like this were legal in Australia,

So... a bit of a spec update.

The car arrived from Japan, by then I had around 3 months of anticipation...and just the sheer want to drive the thing..

The car was a touch rough around the edges, as usual they were running it absolutely slammed through the ground over there, which the bottom of the car showed plenty of signs of. Knuckles were shortened by around 30mm, to allow it to go even lower than usual to avoid the upper arms hitting the strut towers and chassis.

The car came with some custom built wheels 'Intensity Hunk' in some pretty rad sizes, 18x9.5 +30 and 18x10.5 +26. They were running 3 pairs of spacers on the front, which was necessary just to clear the upper control arm, since the knuckle was cut so short. So this was the first point of call when it came home, to rectify as unfortunately as some have mentioned above, you can't have spacers fitted on a road vehicle in Queensland.

Car arrived at Dorijunkie~!

High as a kite due to transport

Sorted out the height prior to receiving the car, and did a few little things to tidy it up with a bit of going over mechanically.

Test fitted the Prestige Racing front bar, while it was there as well.

Engine bay was pretty average, top radiator hose was a bout to explode for sure.

Strip down began, I wanted to sort cooling and oil leaks etc, prior to driving since I wanted to drive this a lot more than just on the weekend.

New seals, timing belt, pump, etc

Mishimoto radiator, modded to suit for a JZX100.

Tidied up the rocker covers,

Refitted the JZX100 lip that it came with. Was in 2 pieces.

Wheels had seen better days, so off and apart they came.

Refurbished and refreshed, since they are a 3 piece wheel, life was made easy.

Resorayed in a similar colour to the body of the car, but without any gold element.

Remade the bracket for the front reo while it sat around,

First test drives..

Wrapped the new wheels in some AD08's 265-35-18 rear 235-40-18 front

First track day that came up, I went to was just for a bit of grip happy laps, but was a lot of fun. Car still needs a diff for me to do anything sideways, so that will be next on the cards.

Fast forward now to present,

Here is how she sits,

1jz VVTI
CT15B - 14 PSI
R154 Manual JZX110 running gear
JZX110 handbrake conversion,

Upgraded brakes (Unknown, maybe lexus?)
Cusco coilovers
Cusco upper control arms (Front)
Cusco toe arms (Rear)

Custom 3 inch stainless exhaust turbo back
Greddy FMIC
Mishimoto Radiator

(I am sure theres a few things i've forgotten)

Had intensive hunks on my import Gloria. Split & refurbished in anthracite & polished lips. Fantastic wheels I wish I still had.

Now that looks killer! Yeah I do dig the design. You never see them around.


Been street dutied for awhile! In a few weeks will do a minor tear down to tidy a few things up and send a few things off for paint. New lip and skirts with rear bumper flare.

Nice crown

Hey man,

For the GReddy FMIC, are you using the stock reo bar or are you using a custom one? I’m trying to sort out how to get the stock one to fit to the 171 without cutting the thing. Any help is appreciated x
