Why We Build, Not Just Sell
Todd Tuck’s 960hp 1.5JZ Cressida
960hp. One garage. Countless kills.
Built by my son Todd, this street-registered Cressida packs a 1.5JZ with billet internals, 2200cc injectors, and a Garrett G40-900 turbo. It puts down 960hp and ran an 11.2 @ 149mph — on drift setup. Now competing in roll racing at Queensland Raceway, it regularly beats six-figure builds. Tuned to perfection. Proud dad moment, this one.
Tuck’s Ute – 2010 Hilux V6 Extra Cab
Built in the shed, finished on the street.
This started as a basic 2010 V6 extra cab — now it’s a wild one-off build. We fitted an N80 front-end conversion, widened it 3 inches each side, and dropped an N80 tray on the back. It’s slammed 4 inches on Thai 8.5" wheels and aftermarket suspension.
Inside’s fully sound-deadened and blacked out — full carpet, black pillars, carbon steering wheel, a massive 13" Tesla screen, Focal speakers, and dual under-seat subs.
Next up? A 2025 front-end update and more rare parts you won’t find on any shelf. It’s rough in places, but there’s not another Hilux like it. This thing’s pure Tuck’s.
Madeline’s 1974 VJ Valiant Ranger
Next in line for something wild.
Todd’s partner Madeline has had this 265 Hemi-powered Valiant for 11 years. It’s a factory 3-on-the-tree car, quietly tucked away and waiting for its next life. The plan? A JZ or classic Hemi V8 swap — either way, it’s staying in the family for good.
Big Brother Dave’s 1968 XR Fairmont GT
Aussie muscle. Garage-kept. Unrepeatable history.
This one’s got history. Brother Dave has owned this XR GT for over 33 years — it’s lived in his garage, cruised every now and then, and stayed mostly original with just a few tasteful mods (like some extra dish). Small V8, loads of presence, and absolute pride and joy. It’s the kind of car you don’t sell. Ever.
Brooke’s 2019 Toyota Mark X GR
Slammed, sleek, and straight from Japan.
This one’s our daughter Brooke’s pride and joy — a genuine Mark X GR model, freshly imported from Japan. These are hard to come by, and this one came in clean, low km, and ready for a proper VIP-style transformation.
Once it landed, we stripped it out and dropped it on air bags for that aggressive slammed look. It’s got that quiet presence — sleek, low, and not trying too hard. Brooke’s always had an eye for the clean builds, and this one shows it. Subtle, rare, and full of personality — it’s a JDM luxury sedan that hits different.
