I got my Car Finally!!!!

1998 Toyota JZX100 CHASER!!! 1JZ VVTi Single Turbo.

Its Completely standard, 63,000 kays on the clock. Ripe for the modifying, pearl white in colour.

Ive always been a fan of the Toyotas, and I wanted something rare, so I bit the bullet and bought one finally. I am absolutely rapped with the car, its very luxurious inside and goes freakishly fast!!!

Im so eager to start modifying it, Cant wait, Hopefully within the year Ill have her running 11s!!!

Will post pics up soon!!!

Automatic. Simple fact is the price was CONSIDERABLY cheaper than a 5 speed.

Not to mention, Autos are Easy to modify and can be for this car.

MV automatics in SA - Stage 1.5 shift kit $400, 2800 stall converter - $300. Line pressure controller as well.

People are running over 350 rwhp with this setup.

If I did bust it, $2600 for a Full rebuild with upgraded clutches, kevlar belts, Stall of my choice.

Thats almost the cost of a twin plate clutch.

Check out IJZ-747 - the 10 second cressida, runs the above mentioned setup. Still on a stock Chaser IJZ bottom end too :P

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
