Toyota JZX90 - New Owners Guide/Suggestions

[@djafri84]

1:13 - 7M-GTE valve cover gaskets are the same as the non-VVTI 1JZ-GTE which can be acquired stateside. 16:49 - The white piece that holds the cable is always the failure point, causing the window to fall. I also sell brand new window regulators for the JZX90 Mark II and Chaser if anybody needs them stateside to ensure quicker arrival. 19:53 - If you have the 5 digit key code and an OEM Toyota key (part number 90999-00185), you can get them laser cut at any local Toyota dealer for a minimal charge or even free. 23:03 - The tight fuel cap is also caused by an old and brittle 3.5mm vacuum hose that connects from the hardline to the charcoal canister up front. If anyone is still experiencing a tight fuel cap even after replacing it with a new one, that will be your culprit. Overall great video!

Do you know how to get the 5 digit key from the original key? I'm stateside and have the original but am unsure how to get this code. The dealerships were completely clueless.

[@ironrobin]

are you still selling? looking for a drivers side backseat regulator

Thank you so much for plugging the website even thought your not affiliated ❤

[@MateoM]

No problem! And thank you for watching

[@ohmiiro1381]

underrated video!

[@soldier_x7212]

Great video!!!

[@jamit2006]

Awesome video mate thank you for sharing your thoughts on the JZX90... We have had all 4 window regulators go on ours.

[@MateoM]

Wow, all four regulators have gone out! That is crazy but yes that’s one of the issues with these cars. Thank you for the comment and watching the video!

[@iamahmedmunir]

You’re a life saver dude Thank you

[@RussianZOmBieATTACK]

I can also tell you that there are plenty of aftermarket control arms and what not , most of these are for drift though. But, they're easy to order

[@yourbuddychris8150]

Awesome Video!, I just picked my mark 2 up earlier this month and it needs major maintenance done.

[@MateoM]

Thanks man! glad you found the video helpful. Good luck on getting the maintenance done.

[@JZS147_JZX90]

You're doing a great job man. I dig it. Even though I'm from the Far East of Russia) There are many Japanese cars here, including JZXs. Maybe one day I'll buy JZX90)

[@natepitchford6968]

Very helpful video. I maybe be buying a Cresta this weekend and this gave me a lot of confidence and if I do end up purchasing it I’ll definitely be back for another watch.

[@spyingbigfoot1181]

thx for the advice will try to remember this for the future

[@CompressionClinic]

Jzx100 coilovers will fit btw. Feal suspension is in the us and makes them. Way better than bc imo

[@Nightmare0112]

You killed it! especially with the hydro fan! I also recommend just converting it to x100 clutch fan and delete the hydro fan! There are many threads on jzx groups/fourms!

[@MateoM]

Thank you! And That’s the next move. I’m going to give Spal fans a shot before spending the money on a full clutch conversion. Worst case I sell the e-fans and shroud and go clutch. Little bit of experimenting if the hydro fan decides to die soon.

[@StevieJPN]

Thank you!

[@IchibanDoriRacing]

Looking forward to the crank pulley video! Very informative, thanks!

[@chase-mode]

This info is all super helpful. Thank you.

[@kaijuwerks]

Thanks for this video man, super informative 👍🏻 picking up a jzx90 next week in Okinawa.

[@fuge622]

Hey man, thoughts I'd comment in case anyone has the same issue as me. If your MAP sensor goes bad it's highly likely you actually won't even be able to start the car. It'll turn over and pop and bang and sound like it's about to start and get really close but it'll never actually start and stay idling. Super easy fix and the part is shared with a Supra. I would swap it out even if it's working fine just to be safe since heat will kill them over time. Great video!

[@MateoM]

Thank you for this info! I’m going to order a spare sensor to keep on hand then 🫡

[@MaXimus666789]

Epic video! Keep it up!

[@vin605]

Good job 👏 Thanks for sharing

[@1jz9T]

Hey bro did your friend find out what caused the cluster to fail I've got the same issue but climate control radio and lights don't work either

[@skate48life]

In regards to getting a key made. I went to Toyota and had a key made by the key code engraved in the original key and it opens the door locks but won’t start the ignition. Any reasons for that? Have you had a key copied and made?

[@MateoM]

I do know there is a valet key and a regular key. But as far as I know, the valet key can’t open the rear trunk. The valet key is one silver piece vs the regular key that has the black plastic top portion. My car only has the valet key, so I went to a hardware store and they cut a new one for me so I could have a spare. What happened to me once was the key didnt unlock the cylinder. It would go in but wouldn’t turn, after messing with it (putting key in and out) it turned fine. It hasn’t done it since so idk what that was about. Hope that helps some!

[@quinnkeeling9926]

Have you sourced a windshield provider for this chassis state side yet?

[@MateoM]

There have been a few guys on the facebook group (JZX Owners US) who offer this service, but there is no provider/company stateside that offers this. So you'll have to order it through a them (third party) and hope it makes it to you in one piece from Japan or wherever it is.

[@eightysicksammy4227]

My battery and exhaust temp light(at the same time) just recently came on. I was wondering what that could mean. I read the Toyota manual and it says catalytic converter is running higher than normal temp. Just wanted to get input. I have a jzx90 2.5L automatic transmission.

[@ironrobin]

Did you ever figure out your issue?

[@josiahkauhane9323]

is300 front pads and rotors work? do u have to change to is300 calipers or no??

[@MateoM]

Only for the front is it going to be IS300. Front calipers and pads are the same parts. No need to convert anything

[@oldtarget5809]

Can you please tell me what its called and where you bought your bodykit also what wheel setup are you running?

[@MateoM]

Body Kit came with the car, but it’s a truam body kit made by KFD in Russia. It’s based off a BN type 3 kit I believe. And wheel set up, 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear, I can’t remember the offsets at the moment, but they are pretty aggressive. I’m changing the lips on the wheels to help that and get rid of the camber and rubbing

[@oldtarget5809]

@@MateoM Thank you!

[@hanojekcim]

Hey man, couldn't make out what you said in the video, are the non VVTI 1J's MAP or MAF based? Thx

[@MateoM]

Sorry to reply to this a year later. I will answer this in case others need to know, but non vvti 1JZs are MAP, vvti JZs are MAF

[@austinhenry5376]

Do you have a link to the kfd headlight

[@MateoM]

No link, you need to message them directly and they’ll set you up. Although I have heard you can find the same headlights on wish . com if you search for it.

[@krishneelprasad8427]

Nice vid bro what mileage is your mark 2

[@krishneelprasad8427]

I have a jzx100 radiator on my jzx90 what fan do I need for that?

[@MateoM]

@@krishneelprasad8427 mileage is 180k kilometers. So around 111k miles. And for the radiator setup, it’s JZX100 radiator, and 2JZ water pump and fan. Can get the fan from a SC300 or anything that came with a 2j.
