HOT ROD Toyota Cresta GX71 Old School JDM Street Tunned RB25DET Swap



RB25 engine Toyota Cresta GX71 -

Hot Rod Old School drift granddaddy!

Today I want to show you something different, not your highly modified Supra, or Skyline on steroids.
It is rather simple and old school Toyota Cresta GX71 with RB25DET engine swap.
This unit is nicely restored, in fact in Japan it has an official engine swap documents (which is usually not the case)!
Please note that THE car came off the assembly line in July 1986, and almost 24 years later it only has 56,900KM! That's ~2380km per year, UNBELIEVABLE!

Please enjoy the historic machine, it is in fact a classic! This car is from the exact times of AE86 hachi-roku. The 4 door drift monster :)

Here are some of the modifications:
Body color: red candy (best color you could have on an old school 4door JDM)

Engine & Drive train: 
HCR33 Akira Makoto early RB25DET engine with 5 speed transmission,
OS Giken clutch, Oil Cooler, HPI turbo, Apex'i EVC
The rest:  
AE86 suspension swap :)

KYB front headlights 
Custom LED tail lights
Rims: Front SSR mark Ⅱ 14 x 9JJ (A-type) & Tires: RE-01R 185/60-14 
Rear SSR mark Ⅱ 14 x 10.5JJ (B type) & Rires: 195/55-14 STRETCH!!!! 
Very Nicely Rolled fenders

RETROFIT! Panasonic CD / MD audio
Saito Rorugeji made four-point roll bar 
Total cost to retrofit is well over 60 thousand dollars

Every gasket and rubber hose has been replaced, it is surely a HOT ROD!
There are other things in the car, but it doesn't matter, look at the pictures!

Also, get a chance to see the old school 4 door scene in Japan, sorry for crappy quality video, but you'll get the idea:

JDM R34 Street legal tuning - FUJIMURA-AUTO rb27 AX53B 600hp Rocket Dancer Monster





R34 V-spec, TRUST 2.7L KIT, AX53B!
Track and street monster Skyline!



Interesting machine over here. This car looks like it came straight off my computer game. Extremely well personalized to a well presentable skyline on the street and on track. Grip would be unreal with this setup. 

Most likely getting suspension tuned up for track and then its a potential rord lap time. This is kind of unreal to think, that in Japan it is quite common encounter on the streets. Where as over here in Canada, Edmonton, namely our tuning scene is alright. Ok I lied, NOWHERE NEAR as developed as in Japan. 



Our roads are garbage, thanks to local extremely corrupt government, but that's another topic. We also do not have as many reputable and well experienced shops to perform setups like these.  Our younger population supports trucks. I see modified diesel trucks everywhere, just wish we didn't have such a stinky cold winter.

Here is a little something for you to think about: this car is legal in Canada in just a little over 3 years. How much will it cost then? 



Right now the price tag for this Christmas Present(if you purchase around time in 3 years, you'll get your present all legal on the road by snow melt!) is around 3-4 million yen. So something like 45k CAN(USD at par). In 3 year this monster will be going at around 3 million yen, I'd say. Big drop thanks to Japanese GT-R fans. Fans will try to get new R36 tuned. Anyhow, hold off your purchase IMO.
