Absolutely AMAZING! When I was 22 I had an 89 Supra that I wanted to put a 1JZ VVTI TT in. I bought the engine but never had the money to complete the project and the shop ended up buying the engine from me. Still a dream build of mine but in a Soarer with a manual or the Chaser. Top end is made by Yamaha and you can here it! I was grinning ear to ear with you Misha! WOOOOHOOOOO WHAT AN AMAZING DRIVE! 23YR OLD CRUISER!
@@mikenewbold1699 he said it in the video it's 22yo. The fault was a charge pipe clamp, hardly catastrophic or a result of the crown itself. Did you bother to watch the video?
I swapped this engine into a Nissan Cefiro A31, added an R154 manual transmission, threw in a few fun mods, and use the car every day. I've already driven over 100,000 km with it. If only you could hear how it sounds when I drive through a tunnel! Hope to see more JDM on this channel!
Fun fact. Toyota Crown Estate have 50\50 weight destribution. But not the sedan. I have one, it's so nice to drive, even it's a big sofa with a JZ)) (I have an N\A 2JZ, btw)
@@Bassalicious I assume this guy has some shift-kit or his trans is going, because mine has NEVER chirped when going from first to second like the start of the run did, and his looked so aggressive I agree, my shifts are not hard at all, very smooth. These Crown's ONLY came automatic, unlike every other 1JZ option, so that's just the reality of having a Crown unless you manual swap it which is common and easy to do but pricey ofc
@@FracturedGoblin Yeah that makes sense. I didn't mean the owner of this car specifically, just people who are into automatics generally. I just hate automatic transmissions with a passion.
Tip for the owner since I owned one of these for a while. If you unplug the brake fluid respvoir level sensor it completely gets rid of all traction and stability control
Joey, Kurtz Kustoms makes that pipe with no recurc outlet on it for the j pipe delete, get yourself one, mine kept blowing the blanking boot off too ;-)
A car that is slept on in my opinion. I have the saloon version as my sensible daily and love it. Still at a bargain price too but not for long, now all the drifters have missiled all the chasers and JZX cars and increased the values this is the last to get that 1JZ tax. Genuinely shocked at how it handled the ring though, was expecting the weight to bite you on some of the corners
OMG I hope one day someone shows up with a Cressida/Mark2 with a 2JZ at the track and asks you to track it. These are really the cars I love. Classic JDM saloons with epic transplants.
@@カワタカ-b6p Probably because the electrolytic capacitors for the smoothing circuit have dried out and lost some of their capacitance. Happens a lot on old analogue audio equipment and I've had this happen on an electric fuel gauge in the past too.
I had one of these, the gearbox is crap for cruising too, its just a crap gearbox. Manual throttle conversion and a transmission swap absolutely transforms the car into what it should have been.
I bought an Estate Athlete myself a couple weeks ago (fully stock) and was hoping you'd do a lap in one of these so this a very pleasant surprise! Great upload thanks
@@JuicingDailyTV My Volvo 240 has one too. I even like that you can feel the little ridges in the wire wound cable when you really feel for them while moving the pedal. :) Previously I would've thought long throw makes it feel anaemic. It's so glorious and I've never felt more in control.
@@Bassalicious also, next level engineering is that my old car's cruise control was controlling the throttle cable, so the acceleration pedal would be moving on its own on cruise 😅 (Citroen Xantia)
@@Bassalicious yeah, vacuum operated, there was a master switch for Cruise control which enables the stalk, and the input goes I guess into an ECU that controls the vacuum and pull on the cable under the hood, which also moves the pedal
Fantastic fun! The car itself is transformed from a rather boring estate car to something special you don't see every day. Props to the driver for the effort!
I was standing in tge parking lot at the last min of tge video i thought you were just showcasing the car for the video haha, but no it was broken. Quite a while ago this recording before uploading
Oh yeah, this Crown Athlete Estate. That pipe should be the wastegate section of the pipe as I recall stock 1JZ-GTE VVT-i's piping structure correctly, it's odd loosing that somehow caused the engine to struggle to stay alive & eventually died while refused to restart. Toyota's automatic transmission surely come a long way, considering how laggy it was. I'm curious what caliper it used? I notice it wasn't the typical Celsior/Supra unit swapped.
I had a 90 or 92 Crown in Japan that still had the plastic on the interior from the factory. I loved that car but once the electronic dash went out I had to junk it.
Nice lap. These cars aint for the Ring. Just they are fun to drive just like the lap with the range rover- I drive a 2008 V70 T6 automatic with MTE mapping and some piping. . Its fast pushing 380/400 horse but Heavy gearbox sucks as suspention and brakes mwa. However put it on the autobahn and it will bring you to destination fast ( as longit gor fuel).
Rear cam only there to film the guy pushing his car 😂

That gearbox is something else. Two 3rd gears 😂
I've always noticed mine also appears to "upshift/downshift" even when I have it locked in 3rd gear, I assume its the torque converter locking lmao
I was confused for a sec

Cool car having a cool owner and brought it to Nurburgring. 🤯
Slick gearchanges - what a trooper!
I didn't even know this car existed haha 😂 I love the wide variety of cool cars we can see on Misha's channel.
I've been into cars only for a few years now, but lately whenever I find some cool car I always go to UA-cam to check if Misha has a video with it 😆
I'm from Brazil and I like watching you. and I confess that it is strange to see you being overtaken by other cars. You drive a lot. congratulations.
The wheels are super sweet too, love a nice three-spoke. (Recovering Saab addict).
Very nice project! I would have used hazard lights when the car started to slow/break down though.
