if it won't turn over with the starter, but will when it's pushed... sounds like not enough power to starter or a tired starter

since it's obvious that it's getting air/fuel/spark

shouldn't be too hard to trace down...
its a little hard to trace since a lot of the wires are spliced so i don't know what goes where.

the way he described it i think its a fuse... but i guess we will see.. i might go down and help him out with it. IF. i have the time. lol

well im going to push start the car and get the alternator tested at advance auto. that will atleast rule out the alternator from being bad, but that still doesn't solve why im not getting power to anything.

yea the starter isn't getting power but neither are my pwr windows,sunroof, tach, or anything. i was thinking it was a relay but im clueless.

Nice Cress, been thinking about buying myself self one and doing it daily driver/sleeper but can't find a decent one for sale anywhere around me. Heck i can find more MKIII's, lol.

Looks nice. A friend of mine has one with a 2JZ-GE that he's been drifting with for a few months now.

this one was built about 3-5 years ago. So this one was probably one of the first 2jz-ge cressidas ;)

When im done it'll be 2jz-ge-t or 2jz-gte. i'lll see what my budget fits better.

yea cressidas are very rare to find in really good condition. im glad to have gotten this one with many extra mods that it has.

You can't just say that and not tell us WTF it was...

haha, i was waiting for someone to ask me :biglaugh:

I found it to be two fuses that were the culprits. The 100amp fuse (for the alternator i presume) and 40amp fuse

i must have overlooked them :sarcasm:

is it me or does the front end look like a chaser front end?

I knew a guy named Brian in Az who was one of the first to swap a 1jz into a cressida and he also did a chaser front end conversion it was a great sleeper...

took the cress drifting last night at skidpad. it did very good, but radiator cracked =[.

so after one session it was done and i blew the alternator fuse twice, so i must have bad grounds.

So after i replace my radiator & get a grounding kit, the cress will be back up & running.

I'll see if i can get some pics of the cress sideways from last night.
