in turkey we also have a31 chassis but they only come with CA20S and that's a very big disappointment tbh but they are still cheap rear wheel drive japanese cars
JZX100 Crestas "Tourer V" model was actually called Roulant G and did not come manual from factory. Any manual JZX100 Cresta that you see was manual swapped. Obviously using the same parts from its brother chassis the Chaser/Mark II.
I just ordered one of these from Japan but it's an automatic. Anybody know which manual transmissions are commonly swapped into these? My car that's coming has the 2.0 inline 6
All of the lighter old Toyota RWD's are almost or entirely the same underneath, the 6.7" and 7.2" rear axles and T50 stems from the late 60's/early 70's (depends whether we talk prototype or production), near identical or same weight, wheelbase, width & suspension pickup points. Really what sets them apart is how they look, wiring colors are and mean the same (tackle one, you can do all the others), most of the AE86 stuff bolts right in so long as you do the whole component, it's when you try to keep the stock U/S rear axle with a 4A-GE build that you're gonna have to build custom driveshafts & have them balanced etc, the price of that = Might as well splurge on the AE86 rear axle too and bolt it straight in. 4A-GE'ing a KE70 complete with fuel tank, rear axle, transmission, front subframe etc? I mean if you can afford it, go ahead! Wiring? just do 12v battery & Ignition for 4 wires onto the engine loom, done. It's a comparative minimum of fabrication/welding/wiring skills. It's not so much a "build" as just bolting stuff in really, you don't even have to be a mechanic, only question these days is affordability.
