It's crazy how often you find yourself having to shave something down/make an odd custom spacer once you have a lathe. Makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.
well known thing with the bolts being wrong in aus jzx community, just use the 86/brz bolts from the car you got the diff from at the wrecker and bam bolts in no turning down required 🙃🙃🙃
My name suggestion for the car is "Cataract".... Those headlights look like the ones on my Mk1 TT.. 400grit to 600grit, a lick of good 2k clear coat... BAM!!! Looks fn mint!
Found it interesting you dropped the rear of the subframe to access the 3 rear diff bolts, I was able to get them off doing the same job to my Crown in the driveway with a spanner and a bit set. Also for anyone playing along at home planning to do this swap, get the front diff bilts from the 86/BRZ, saves the headache of the Crown ones not fitting the new diff.
Lmao l, Alan, when you put the turbo air-water system in my 86 people kept telling me I would kill the diff, the gearbox and the clutch - 7 years later all these stock items are still going strong ! (Will replace the clutch at the major service interval though).
7:50 actually needed to hear that. My diff has been leaking pretty badly ever since doing an quick axle swap at the track at night. I bet we missed that little spring not being seating correctly before installing the new axle. Thanks!
Brad needs to get his hands on some headlight restorer. Not sure why almost al Toyota end up with milky headlights. I've had the best results with the Turtle Headlight Kit
Would be interesting to see what that 1G-GZE in Woody’s wagon would do with a lil TurboYoda magic, add a turbo to make it twin charged or something crazy like that lol
Torsen certainly seems like the better type of diff over clutch style LSD. I wonder how different it's lock up is compared to other types of LSD? I believe clutch types can be tuned to come into effect more aggressively if required but I'm still learning yet the constant gear mesh of the Torsen just seems like a more robust and linear LSD than others.
It depends on your driving style really. If you love popping the clutch and smashing tyres a clutch type is the way to go. If you want a more progressive engagement for circuit work a torsen would be a better option.
I cannot seem to find a listing for the a340 valve body. Only one I find listed is MV automatics. I have a shift kit to install but wonder if the full valve body exchange is better. Its going to go into the a340 behind the 1uz in my Malibu
When you dropped the subframe, did you guys only disconnect 1 of the coilovers? I have diff and the subframe bushes ready to go but don't want to pull the whole subframe out of the car by myself
Didn't realize that was woody working the slide hammer at the end, thought it was some new Grey bush helping out off in the shadows. Awesome content as always, hammer sound effects never get old. 👌
If Woody's Crown has a full chassis then the 4jj1 with matching gearbox and transfer case from a D-Max could be interesting along with a pair of of solid axles out of a suitable 4WD could be very interesting. Then he can get rid of that Pajero. 🙂
Did this car come with the tiptronic 30-40ls transmission or the 30-40le transmission? I just bought a jzx100 1jzvvti with the 30-40ls transmission. It has two extra solenoids for the tiptronic feature, so I'm wondering if a normal reprogramming kit will work on it like it normally does with the 30-40le
Hol up will the same diff fit an S160 Aristo/GS? Same(ish) platform, but all the diff swap options I'm seeing are ancient forum posts about Mk4 Supra turbo diffs which is not something that grows on trees these days.
great stuff guys love the show the Crown (The Jewel ) woodys crown gotta have a toyota in it maybe something really different a 3.0 turbo diesel get the soot soot happening with the whistle
Are the ratios the same or different? What are the stock ones like? .... best thing I did to my commodore was a lsd diff, shorter gears, and a high stall
woody's crown needs a Hartley VK 56 he even had the t- shirt on. I have a torsen style diff in my commodore and its works better than any mechanical LSD I've driven. did the new diff ahve a different ratio to give it a bit more pep?
The OEMs have trouble selling wagons in some markets. This is a prime example of what should be offered. 570 plus hp and decent gas mileage if one can keep their foot out of it. The US had the Magnum and the Cadillac CTS sport. The Magnum was nice and roomy. Yet the front had a face only a Mother could love. The CTS Sport was smaller and not as utilitarian. Both suffered from poor gas mileage. OEMs take a long look at this car.
Probably a stupid question but have you tried red diamond convertors in Brisbane or Roadblaster convertors in Adelaide they maybe able to custom build you a convertor.

Good name for a locked diff, all that whining 🫣😬🤣
Yo
You win the comment section today good sir!
A whole episode on diffs would be well received.
"a whole episode on diffs would likely get some traction" FTFY
Yep would love to see a full diff install...how to shim / measure gear contact properly etc.
Check out motoiq, old mate goes through a few types of diffs

With the front cradle bolts, if you use the 86/BRZ bolts they will fit and you won't need to lathe the bolts.
I’d just like to commend the Skid Factory for having the shortest title sequence on TH-cam! Thank you!!

Thank you again for the squeaky hammering Woody
Enjoyed the video, as well as the podcast. Thanks for sharing your experience, and demonstrating once again that success takes hard work and hustle.
Thanks for the JZ content! Love it
My favourite part about my torsen diff is how it kicks the arse end out like my 300hp car has 1000. Great for projecting you into the nearest pole.
“How can I miss you, if you don’t go away”

For sure you could kill everything from clutch back if you really wanted to right?
Love how the vid of the exhaust shows the screamer plumbed back but that skid you hear the gate cracking open
Going to listen to the pod soon.
Tomorrow is Australia Day so I assume Woody is going to put a 253 in the wagon. Nice.
With Haltech and turbo 😂
@@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck I would pay so much money to see that :D

That one roasted off tyre on the right rear 😅 Must be a big fat single line somewhere 🤣
Really enjoyed the Podcast woody 👍
The intro is soo good 👍 wish Al was my mate and would make me a 'modern' skid master! What a ledge
That exhaust manifold is brilliant for a casted manifold.
Great bit of work guys. And I have a new word - chooch - which is Italian slang for a guy like Al.
OM606, OM648, or M57 in Woody's wagon, straight 6 diesel power.
I still chuckle every time the squeeky hammer comes out.😁
K24 swap for woody's crown! Altho I suspect they will Barra swap it. That Crown is awesome.
We can K24 swap it and call it the Gelding.
That intro music needs to go on spotify

I agree
I thought Woody was going to out a Barra in there.
1UR-FSE
agreed! would be nice to see some not so mainstream engines get some attention
I want to see some Volvo 2.5 5 cylinder turbo go into the Crown, big torque, great noises
I was looking at one of these but got a Caldina GTT instead
Awesome content again boys. Love this thing !! Right up my alley and yeh, woody the 'squeaky toy' noises 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Was this at Bad Ideas show in Pine Rivers last Saturday? Great episode guys. I have a custom Torsen LSD in my Gazelle H190. Pretty rare.
Yes it was.
1:00 Yeah, my 05 V6 4.0l Ford Courier Hi-lift is a 'modern' car. Well, it does have lots of new parts. Does that count as modern?

@@Rollin8.0 So for a road car and enjoying everyday corners then the torsen would be the better diff?
@@GarageItYourself yeah for pretty much 95% of drivers they're more suitable

Pino Noir for the reddish fancy wagon. Woody's would be interesting with a street tuned 2JZ.
Dunno about Crown.more like a Tiara,always love what you guys get up to 😅

Woody you missed a prime opportunity to insert a sound when Al was pumping up the jack 😄
I had to make a fart noise with my mouth to satisfy my needs
Truth be told I actually had noises in there but Al mentioned it was maybe a bit too much
@@Woodrigos trust your instincts mate, your edits are on point
Would you need to change the crown wheel and pinion over from the auto diff for the ratio to suit the autobox and for speedo ?
Bragon obviously! Great work gents, sneaky skid :-)
This is my dream car. I was lucky enough to see it on my holiday. Shat myself with excitement 😂😂
Great show again guys call it’s CRAGON
CRown wAGON
Ahh... This car in this exactly spec - my dream
This is my dream daily! 😍 Fast and practical.
Brilliant intro!
hammer noise , made my day. something so small turned my shit day better.
When you put new seals in do you use oil or grease in diffs,transmission etc🤷♂️? On the inside of the vee rubber.
I just use wheel bearing grease.
As always, a great vid - LOVED the intro though lads.
Bosco could be a good name. From memory a plsce in Victoria called TCE specialises in a340 convertors and can tailor make one quick
Simon from Allfast in WA should be able to sort you out with a modified convertor to suit if you give him all the specs etc.
Didn't realize that was woody working the slide hammer at the end, thought it was some new Grey bush helping out off in the shadows.
Awesome content as always, hammer sound effects never get old. 👌
Wanna see more of Woody, don’t hide behind the camera mate
Allfast Torque Converters in Perth should have no issues building a converter

Whats that transmission valve body thing? Aftermarket? Where do you get it?

Hol up will the same diff fit an S160 Aristo/GS? Same(ish) platform, but all the diff swap options I'm seeing are ancient forum posts about Mk4 Supra turbo diffs which is not something that grows on trees these days.
I think the Aristo diff is larger.

Great video and podcast.
12.39 is that a hint?? Barra the world!
I love me a good wagon, and this is one of the gooder ones!
In Woody's Crown, it's got to be something that Honks! If you take the honk, you've got to replace the Honk!
I can, in fact.
Smell that
I smell a conversion coming. Maybe something from toyota that came na with 8 cylinders, with some boost?
Are the ratios the same or different?
What are the stock ones like?
.... best thing I did to my commodore was a lsd diff, shorter gears, and a high stall
Who did you sell it to I’ve been seeing it everywhere on the Sunshine Coast
I thought it was like the is300/gs different diff to the is200 and GT86. But that's good to see and know.
The diffs can all be G series sized but housings vary a lot.
I miss the old Lexus GS300 with the 2JZ. I had one on my car lot a couple of years ago, but I didn’t want it because it had a million miles on it.
Might be a stupid question but are those diff drive shaft seals directional??
is the stock ecu controlling transmission
woody's crown needs a Hartley VK 56 he even had the t- shirt on. I have a torsen style diff in my commodore and its works better than any mechanical LSD I've driven.
did the new diff ahve a different ratio to give it a bit more pep?

I worked with a turner that used to turn the welds off torque converters, open them up and modify their stall speeds. Is that still possible?
It is but there is only so much you can achieve with a std 1JZ converter and it's not enough.
woody's wagon? twin turbo coyote engine would be my vote. would love to see THAT done
No Nats video?
Very Thoon.
Probably a stupid question but have you tried red diamond convertors in Brisbane or Roadblaster convertors in Adelaide they maybe able to custom build you a convertor.
