R100 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Which toyota crowns run a seperate chassis ? Im under the impression the JZS145 does ? Can anyone confirm. I know the 70"s shape crowns have a seperate chassis but when did they go to unitary / monocoque contruction ? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 seperate chassis all the way up to 140 series early to mid 90's. There are crown majesta's made around the same time that are unibody so watch out for those. What are you planning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i saw a chassis the other day at a mates shop. He didnt know what it was, thought maybe a Crown. Looked like a great basis for a project. I usually just buy heapsa random stuff and let my imagination see what it comes up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 IRS? If you get a pic we can rule out if its a crown one pretty quick. Crown chassis are tight around the front suspension arms, and the main fron crossmemeber section in tight. makes 90 degree v8 installations interesting, 1UZ will drop into the late model ones with factory mounts and manifolds though.

Mr.Mk1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 JZS145 = NOT full seperate Chassis. It shows a front, centre and rear sections. Just let me know Model codes/Rego Numbers and i can run it though my Toyota parts catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus another one we pulled the body off last year If the chassis in your mates shop is crown one they have the chassis number stamped in the front cross-member Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea theres a guy in auckland who uses them as bases for ac cobra kit cars, makes a kevlar shell etc, is pretty sweet. Also very popular in the states for hot rod bases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His chassis was IRS altho he was removing the IRS and fitting a solid axle. Think hes dropping some old ford truck cab onto it. I want a chassis now. Will be keeping my eyes out on tardme.

Its not listed as a single unit like, say a Hilux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 ^ do you need a photo of the build plate? majesta's are UZS147 (same as aristo S147) etc and are uni body, bet my left nut JZS145 crown has a chassis. You sure your looking at a crown select or what ever they're called? not a aristo/majesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 bet my left nut JZS145 crown has a chassis. Keen to see what the call bet is on this / video payment of bet and forward - thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think Josh means it has a separate chassis but it consists of three sections (front mid rear) which I assume bolt up to each other, though I didn't recall seeing that when I had a good nosey at that 140 series chassis sitting around.

Mr.Mk1 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 JZS145 Crown/Crown Majesta. Also UZS14* and GS14*. Im not saying anyones wrong, thats just what the system says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 it's still a seperate chassis from the body though, and it could be possible those sub sections are welded together making one final chassis, but you could still buy the seperate sections if you unstitch the welds to repair etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
