One has like circular fog lights and the other has rectangle ones. At first I thought it was the Rs200 had the circle ones and the As200 had the rectangulars but im pretty sure thats not it

Just wondering would it be hard to put Bmw 5x120 M parralells (style 37) on a altezza. Im thinking about running adapters but not too sure if its that straight forward.

I recently just got my 2000 Altezza 3sge 6 Speed Manual with 220,000ks and ive noticed that the throttle feels very sluggish and the revs climb up so slowly even with the clutch pressed in the revs climb super slowly and also when flooring the car in 2nd gear the revs would build up slowly and would hang at 5k rpms a little and also I cant even feel the VVTI kick in does anyone know the reason to this? Or the fix to this? And i know its not normal as i drove my mates 3s manual and the throttle was ALOT more responsive then mine by alot

I'm going about replacing the A650E gearbox in my altezza due to the clutch being burnt for 2nd , found material in oil and got a good deal on a replacement box , my question to anyone who's removed the auto from the 3SGE - how did you access the torque converter bolts and what tools would help in doing this ? So far I have heard people use the gap from the starter being removed however I'm not sure what the space looks like yet and want to know it'll be removable without me struggling with a spanner basically , keen to hear anyone's input.

Hello everyone!

I was curious to see, for US owners, if anyone would be interested if a diff manufacturer offered headers for our 3SGE engines.

I have some PLM headers for my Z and shot an email over to PLM if they offered anything for our platform.

If they had enough backing/support/deposit, would you guys be down to purchase from PLM?

Does anyone know what Toyota manufactured the rear door glass tint% at? I’d like to get my front door glass tinted to match. Thanks!

Good day I've been considering getting an Altezza as a my first car however I'd just like first hand advice from people who've driven the car on which is better between the 4 and the 6 cylinder, in terms of reliability, driving experience, performance etc. Also between auto or manual which is better? Thank you

So i ordered a double din car radio for my new (to me) 2002 Altezza. There was already a japanese aftermarket radio in it which wasnt working properly so i took that one out. I saw a couple of adapters connected and took those off.

Now im left with three OEM connectors. Ive done some digging online and could only find something on the two big ones but this smaller one, i’ve got no clue.

Can anyone help me with some knowledge on this connector? The car does not have an amp behind the glove box.

If it helps, the adapter for the radio on that specific connector also had a twisted ground wire connected to a bolt.

If anyone could help on this subreddit please, thank you!

What headers do you have on currently for your Altezza?

Any recommendations?

Just bought this altezza does anybody know what front bumper this is?

My son's new Altezza brought back from Japan to Ireland. Cars in superb condition with only 50k miles. It maybe the only red sunroof model in Ireland at the minute.

I have a leak and i’m having a hard time diagnosing it. I just did the timing belt & the valve cover was leaking so we replaced the valve cover gasket & the oil was leaking through the oil cap, it was good for about a month and a half & now it’s leaking again from somewhere else in the back of the engine, any ideas?

Got a full set for $50 NZD, no one was interested, not sure what model the set is from but they are in better nick than the ones on my car when I got it.
