wannabe Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yeah man I lurked on that thread and reread it again. Looked good on those 14x7s. How low was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very, current one is a good inch lower then the old one was. Could all go with being a bit lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Hmm so like +100mm or less? Either way it looked sweet. A friend also has some 14x7 around 0 offset that I am quite tempted to try on tbh, but I dunno if they will be big enough/Crowns have massive guards... Apparently the springs I got with mine were plenty low so I dunno what's gonna happen really lol. Also, you mentioned about removing the chassis to cab bushes to drop the car. I too had that idea when I was peeking underneath mine, but I can't seem to see anything that might foul it/might no be looking in the right place? Suppose I really should replace the broken bits first though haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a few issues with fuel lines being crushed and other what not if i take out those frame bushes. Cause im a sucker for punishment. Cheers to Japawagon for the crown Engine mounts, mid sump, relocated oil filter housing. Also thanks to NVMPAJ for the inspiration to do this: So now i find out if jzs13x and uzs13x chassis are the same, cause i know for a fact gs13x and uzs13x chassis have the engine mounts in different places.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicT Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Im trying to decide if i buy the parts to get this mysterious motor running, or just buy a complete conversion. Ideas? Kinda feeling this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/toyota/engines/auction-632529973.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 What's it missing , if the loom is there you should be able to work out what ECU you need if that one of the missing parts. Being a mid sump I would guess that its an early motor . If you are missing too many bits it might be worth just getting another motor and using you mid-sump bits to make it fit if needed.

NVMPAJ Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Looking at your pic there's a lot not there of your motor , so yeah maybe keep that as spare and look at a complete one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Yea from my modest calculations on pricing, im looking at $1300 for all the parts needed for the mystery motor vs $1500-1700 for a motor with a warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Pictureless update: Looks like im keeping this as no one wants to buy it, so i started working on the gearbox crossmember last night and started hole sawing the chassis rails this morning for bolt holes. Took a general overview to do: Gearbox Xmember Radiator Support bracket Manifolds finished Zorst Wiring Fuel Lengthen Driveshaft Auto gearbox linkage extended Single Wheel Peelers? Sell? Long term storage? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
