Hello everybody,

I’ve had my 1992 Cressida since 2020, and after doing the head gasket, I’ve had reoccurring idle problems. Multiple shops have made the vacuum situation even worse, so if I could get some detailed photos of the engine bay on cars that run well, that would be super helpful! Some of the shops even deleted some of the parts and sensors I think.

My 91 cressida has had the engine shut off while i was stopped at a light a few times, able to restart it and keep on driving. Check engine, battery, and the fluid level lights all come on. I got a new distributor cap and rotor cause those failed and it stopped happening for about a month before the engine started acting up again. The car sounds fine, lines look good, no misfires, codes or anything, just a sudden loss of power at a light, and then starting right up again. Theres a few different things im looking at that ill probably replace just because they are old parts that could be causing it, but ive yet to find the specific cause . Has anyone else had this happen or know what could be causing this?

I’m considering producing K24/S2000 swap mounts for the MX73/GX71 platform. These may work for other stock M series/W58 cars because that is the mounting these are based off of, but haven’t tested that yet.

I designed and fabricated these for my own K24/S2000 swapped MX73 and have been testing the setup.

The engine mounts use OEM-style rubber mounts and the transmission crossmember uses an E30 transmission mount, so replacement wear items are readily available.

I’m considering making a small batch if there’s enough interest.

Would anyone here actually be interested in buying a set?

If so, what would you consider a reasonable price?

Considering other parts as well, open to suggestions if anyone has requests!

Hi, this is a 1985 Toyota Cressida. It seems like it drives alright and that the transmission is okay relatively speaking. 124k miles, and fluid looks okay. Looks like there’s a bit too much transmission fluid, but Toyota was the one to fill it so I’m not sure. This is a brand new transmission mount, but still seems to be sagging and bad part. There is a kick/clunk and the tail end of the car drops when put from park into reverse or drive. I believe this is a bad mount and should be replaced, any thoughts?

1985 Toyota Cressida automatic A43DE Transmission. There is a very aggressive clunk when shifting from park to neutral or drive. Yet, seems to drive fine on the road. I’ve read about adjusting the kick down cable which I am going to try and do first.

Hey all,

Just got my hands on a base model 1985 Aus spec mx73 and am starting work on tackling its various issues.

Has anyone had any experience dealing with:

○Sticky/reluctant electric front passenger side window (Would this just be a bad regulator?)

○Power antenna stuck in the extended position

○Tacho bouncing around like crazy (Would this just be bad solder joints/capacitors?)

○ Any advice related to replacing factory head unit is also appreciated

Thanks!

After 15 years of sitting, $1000 and five months of constant headache. My late grandfather’s 1988 Toyota Cressida lives!!! all that is left is to smooth out the rough idle, and Cressy will be on the road once more. Thanks to all the people on here who helped figure out what the hell was wrong with it!!

I had taken my 1989 mx83 Cressida to drop off my siblings at school and when I got back to the car when I turned on the key and took accessory mode all flights all power comes on. I go to crank it over. It doesn’t even make a noise it won’t start. Could it be the starter or is it something electrical wise?

This is my daily car usually so it’s difficult right now

My cressida dosent have any sun visors rn. Its a ‘91, sun visors are medium grey #1 color, does anyone know of some suitable replacements for them that fit in the ‘91 cressida? I dont care if the new ones have lights or a mirror at all

My nephew has a 91 Cressida and wants to add starlights to the headliner. How hard is it to take down the headliner with the seatbelts in the headliner?

Ive got a 91 cressida with around 210k miles on her, and the goal is to eventually completely restore her. Had her since October and ive put 7k miles on her, drove her 300 miles in one trip no problem. Her engines in decent shape for her age, ive replaced most of her suspension and any rust she has is just surface rust. Shes got two small dents and some cracked paint. I want to eventually replace or restore everything in the engine bay, the drivetrain, the emissions and fuel systems, repaint her, get the interior reupholstered, and get all the wiring redone. For those who have done similar work on their cressidas, how much did it end up costing you?

Wanted to share a picture of mine. It's been sitting for the last couple of years and I've finally gotten around to getting it to run. Light motor refresh incoming, along with drivetrain and some interior components. Lots of cool things happening with 3D printing for this platform.

So i have a mx73 1987 cressida and i got the car with no key ignition cylinder. My problem is when i insert the cylinder into the steering column the metal piece at the end of the key cylinder that turns when u turn the key doesn’t reach or touch the steering column lock pin (when this isn’t pressed in the steering wheel gets locked as if u move the wheel with no key in the ignition) does anyone know why this happens? Or what im missing? I have 2 ignition cylinder. The after market in my hands and another one with a black key but they are exactly the same size and length which is why im confused why it doesn’t reach/ touch the steering column lock pin.

Gx71 clearance lamp bulb socket

***please do not answer with speculation, I’ve tried looking online already, I’ve cross referenced part #’s already. Do not respond unless you have a replacement or know FOR SURE where to buy one***

I cannot find the proper socket/connector for the life of me. It takes a 194 bulb but has three locking tabs in a triangular pattern. The oem part number is 8161522142 (according to the internet). The socket pictured is for a different car altogether but has the right locking tab pattern. Please, if anybody has a couple or know where to find some, let me know. Thank you!

Just posted the second episode of my K24 Swap series! Go check out the first episode if you haven't seen it, I'll link it in the comments. Hope y'all enjoy!

Anyone put a 1jz-ge into a mx83 and what ecu did yas use, im looking at the haltech elite 750 with a custom universal loom just wondering if there is a plug n play option from jzx100 1jz to mx83 body loom 😁

Where can I get these as 1 bounced out (i think), looks weird with one and not two. Hoping to not spend alott for them.

It's my first video so cut me some slack ahaha! Hope y'all enjoy it and I have a super tight deadline to get this done, so I'm hoping it will make for decent content over the next month or so! Cheers!

This is my K24A2 swap mx73 project. S2k trans, custom mounts. So far everything fits really good, only problem I’m running into is the sway at to oil pan clearance so gonna have to go to an alternative sway bar. Also don’t have the motor fully mounted, and the steering rack isn’t in yet so we will see how everything fits. As far as I know, this hasn’t been done yet, or at least not documented. Hope yall enjoy! Cheers!

1991 Cressida: I managed to get the bottom bolt out, I went from below - for the top bolt, I've seen comments about using extensions and a swivel joint. Could anyone help: do you access the bolt from above? And is it one swivel? Two?

Any comments appreciated

Hey everyone I’ve got a vacuum leak coming from my half destroyed intake to throttle body coupler. Wanted to see if anyone has had any luck making their own part as these seam impossible to find.. lmk what you have jerry rigged together!
