Migjt have some pointers different to mine Thanks man, oh there will be questions! this is my first build so, I'm learning as I go. The engine/trans came out of an 01 Altezza Gita, and fit into the Crown pretty sweet. It needs a little bit of facrication for the shifter linkage and new mounts of course. But other than that it fit like a dream! I'm a little daunted about the wiring, and considering shelling out for to get it done at a shop. The car isn't actually in Welly with me, it's stored in the Coromandel. So if anyone knows a good auto electrican around the Auckland/Tuaranga/Hamilton area. Give me a shout out. I think I've seen Matt's build? Although I may be thinking of yours Seedy? I'll catch up on my build threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtc3d Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 what was wrong wit the 4M? Nothing a re-build couldn't fix. Most of the problem is probably due to the car sitting for so long. I want the car to run reliably so a modern engine seemed like the best choice given my limited engine knowledge. And those Toyota inline 6's are so similar block wize, they interchange pretty easily. I might get an engine stand for the 4m and strip it down for practice at some point. You're a 4M fan Sheepers, is it worth keeping? The old dog doesn't have many other fans from what I can tell.

Hah ha! I've wondered why you kept your 4M? It's beautifully re-built, but still a 4M! It's not out of love, by the sound of it. I'll have a think about selling the head. It's got the standard wear of a 40 year old engine, and I know the rocker arms need replacing. I'd be more inclined to sell the whole engine and trans if you'd take it? PM if you want to chat about it some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Sheepers got pie crumbs on the engine number and thought it was something superior to a 4M till he licked the crumbs off after installing in the car and by then it was too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with dreams of 1UZ-FE and 2JZ_GTE's (as you do), but as I did more research they turned out to be more trouble than they were worth. The car belonged to a Hamilton family for 30 years and 2 generations. It was resprayed the origional colour in the late 90's, or early 00's. My old man bought it and stored it for the last 7 years. It's super straight both inside and outside. Nothing but a bit of surface rust in the engine bay. Just one of those cars that don't come round very often, so I had to pick it up. Only the engine was poked, but that only made it easier to toss out for an upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Nice to see another crown build, looks pretty mint too.. should be a great cruiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtc3d Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Nice to see another crown build, looks pretty mint too.. should be a great cruiser Thanks dude, yeah, I have no aspirations to over power this car. Other than some light cam work and a set of extractors (mostly just for the "presence" of the thing). I'll keep it auto and cruise-able.

Seedy Al Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hah. These 2jz's are plenty powerful for the handling epicness that is a crown. Mounts look sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yuh I wouldn't do headers or cams really, just get it going. Will sound rad without headers and just good exhaust, NA 2J can do easy skids on the brake, what more do you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japawagons Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Not to be a Vulture or anything. But if you don't have a use for the 4M drop me a PM, we have a couple of Crowns needing engines and a parts engine would be a massive help.

Seedy Al Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hah I literally just jumped on here After realizing that the seized motor out of this will have the cam pully bolt that I require. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus (like you said) is to get it on the road. And big billowing smoke out the back with a straight pipe is all I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
