    This car was way ahead of its time. We still have this. We also had a Merc and a BMW but My dad always preferred this over the other two. I know why whenever I drive it. It’s so classy and powerful. By the way the BMW and the Merc have so many mechanical problems but this crown still works like it was new in 19991. The best car we have ever owned

      Me too. They both have the 2JZ GTE. SUPRA has the Non VVTI version while Aristo has both the VVTI and Non VVTI because the VVTI is for the JZS161 Aristo and the Non VVTI is in the JZS147 version of the Aristo only. There is also a JZS160 version of the JZS161, 160 and 161 have the same body but the 160 uses the 2JZ-GE instead of the GTE.

    • @zxvadcsfbh
      @zxvadcsfbh 5 років тому +3

      Replace with ARP head studs and increase the torque and it solves the gasket issues. However 5m and 7m engines are notorious for rod knock later in life too. Still, replace those parts and the 7Ms actually can take and make a whole lot of power. You just have to be committed to them. IMO, they'll start getting more popular as JZs dry up.

    • @MrSparco777
      @MrSparco777 5 років тому

      at least Crown 7MGE were far better than Cressida, Crown were the only 7MGE with a Karman-Vortex MAF
      7M headgasket is dick all too, toss in ARP head studs to the higher spec and youre set. 7M headgasket pays only 6hrs labour

    This is kind of like the Japanese version of a Lincoln Town Car, very traditional and lots of velour. Mmmmm velour.
    Also the US market did receive a version of this car, kind of. The Toyota Cressida, same exact engine/transmission as this car, same chassis, different body that somehow manages to look like this car but isn't. Toyota did this a lot with the Crown platform during this time, make several different versions that look almost the same but are not the same, different fenders, doors, bumpers, etc.

      1993 Crown Majesta due to the engines 2JZGE or 1UZFE. This cars platform is also on the 1993 GS300 platform so other parts are easy to get here. The non turbo Aristo (GS300) 2JZGE or a regular 1992-93 Crown Royal Saloon 1JZGE/1UZFE. All of these cars are affordable and will have lower miles. They typically are driven by older people and due to the gas tax the 1UZFE (4.0V8) goes for less. Also, all the above mentioned cars you can get parts in the USA. Most people focus on the twin turbo cars and drive the prices up where as these can be very reasonable to purchase.

    Super (not Royal) Saloon 80-82 models were the 'it' cars in Saddam's Iraq. He awarded them to all army officers, ministers, directors, etc. Also, a generic CROWN 4-cylinder version was imported by the thousands for the use as TAXIs in the entire country and the government traded them for any old taxi (mandatory of course). Many of those are still in service and Toyotas of all models and sizes imported those years are what carried a country reliably through all the wars, embargos, poverty and lack of service and parts. Their reliability speaks a lot of Toyota quality that used to be.

      This car comes in a 1UZFE engine the same as the Lexus and you can also get the 1JZGE and that is also very reliable. You just have to stay away from the G series.
