クラウンエステートアスリートがニュルブルクリンクで走っているとは驚きです👀‼️日本から輸出された車体でしょう。 ATトルコンだけの設定なのにパドルシフトにしているのはレクサスIS-Fからの流用かな？🤔 トヨタはATをロックアップさせて変速させる機能はだいぶ後の技術ですから。 現在もトヨタはATトルコンに可能性が有るとレクサスRC-Fにも採用されています。 開発された当時はフェラーリ599よりも早いシフトアップタイムと言っていたかな？🤔

I bought the engine but never had the money to complete the project and the shop ended up buying the engine from me. Still a dream build of mine but in a Soarer with a manual or the Chaser.

I've always noticed mine also appears to "upshift/downshift" even when I have it locked in 3rd gear, I assume its the torque converter locking lmao

[@HONDALUIGI21]

I was confused for a sec

[@Bassalicious]

And what is up with those gear changes? Slush at first and then a rough kick to round it off. I never understood auto-enjoyers and I never will.

[@FracturedGoblin]

@@Bassalicious I assume this guy has some shift-kit or his trans is going, because mine has NEVER chirped when going from first to second like the start of the run did, and his looked so aggressive I agree, my shifts are not hard at all, very smooth. These Crown's ONLY came automatic, unlike every other 1JZ option, so that's just the reality of having a Crown unless you manual swap it which is common and easy to do but pricey ofc

[@Bassalicious]

@@FracturedGoblin Yeah that makes sense. I didn't mean the owner of this car specifically, just people who are into automatics generally. I just hate automatic transmissions with a passion.

Yh, my old Accord Type R had a throttle cable and so did my 2005 Toyota Corolla T sport, brilliant REALLY. Drive by wire I often find is too sensitive

[@Bassalicious]

@@JuicingDailyTV My Volvo 240 has one too. I even like that you can feel the little ridges in the wire wound cable when you really feel for them while moving the pedal. :) Previously I would've thought long throw makes it feel anaemic. It's so glorious and I've never felt more in control.

[@asaflevy1540]

@@Bassalicious also, next level engineering is that my old car's cruise control was controlling the throttle cable, so the acceleration pedal would be moving on its own on cruise 😅 (Citroen Xantia)

Still at a bargain price too but not for long, now all the drifters have missiled all the chasers and JZX cars and increased the values this is the last to get that 1JZ tax. Genuinely shocked at how it handled the ring though, was expecting the weight to bite you on some of the corners

Oh yeah, this Crown Athlete Estate. That pipe should be the wastegate section of the pipe as I recall stock 1JZ-GTE VVT-i's piping structure correctly, it's odd loosing that somehow caused the engine to struggle to stay alive & eventually died while refused to restart. Toyota's automatic transmission surely come a long way, considering how laggy it was. I'm curious what caliper it used? I notice it wasn't the typical Celsior/Supra unit swapped.
