Toyata Chasers are a really good car. I have test driven a few. I am going to say Skylines are better, as I have a quite mint late 97' R33 GTST manual sitting in my garage and I drive it every day. I even look foward to getting up every morning to go to work just for the drive.

It is better, cause it is sitting in my garage :D

Hi I own a Chaser Tourer V TRD version (5spd manual), oh by the way I am living in Japan and we see many fast cars here. Anyhow, yeah Skylines are quite fast particularly GTRs.. geeez, I wish I had R34 myself eh, but no money for such an expensive toy, that the 100Jzx was expensive enough for me :rofl: Anyhow to be honest with you, Skylines could be faster than chaser, but chaser can be fast too, as Toyota named it to chase the skylines ass. My 100jzx is fast enough though it hasn't got intercooler and after-market Turbo yet, which I am planinig to set very evry soon... :domokun:

wow i had no idea chasers were that quick! Looks like hands down to the chaser. I thought the 1jz's were supposed to be prone to primary turbo failure and wern't that good compared to 2jz etc. You can get 2jz chasers cant you?

I agree that the chaser would be quicker...

However if it is 2.5L then I DONT agree that the chaser has more torque than the RB26 (i could be wrong tho)

I thought they were 3L which would give them a bit more torque down low...

RB26 has something like 411N-m which is awesome for a 2.6L engine. If the chaser has more than this then maybe its running more boost? anyone know what boost they run?

just being twin turbo doesn't make it any better than single turbo really, just improves airflow potential.

Still, I'm not saying its not quicker - it sounds like it is quicker than an auto or manual R33, but not the GTR.

Would never buy one myself though, nor an aristo - they look way too boring. Going fast is one thing, but you have to drive it and be seen in it...

then again, I drive a stagea...so I must admit looks are a matter of personal choice...

The Chaser has a single turbo with vvti which is what gives it the extra low down torque as far as I know. According to Cars-directory.net, the Chaser has a 377.56nm of torque at 2400rpm. The Chaser isn't a heavy car for its size either. It only weighs in at 1470kg.

Thats a huge amount of torque at just 2400rpm - I find that hard to believe...not saying I doubt you though. Just that the only cars I know that have that much torque at such low revs are either diesel or large displacement.

"....the JZX100 and JZX110 series came with VVTi and a single turbo which produced a little more torque, but also much lower in the rev-range. Peak torque was raised marginally in the JZX100 and later models, and occurred at 2400rpm compared to 4800 rpm in the non-VVTi twin turbo engines."

"Max.torque(Net), N*m(kg*m)/rpm 38.5 kg*m (377.56 N*m) / 2400 rpm"

Those were the sites where I got my info from.

that is only with newer chaser with VVTI single turbo...

max power output at 2400rpm.

non VVTI 1jz is alrite...

I have 1jz cressida...and I also have R33 manual.

R33 got alot of mods...pods, exhast. boosted..etc.

and 1jz cressida is stock as a rock...and it has heaps more torque than r33.

but i have no power at top end with 1jz...maybe need exhaust!

stock 1jz chaser non vvti would kill stock r33.

VVTI leave stock r33 for dead!

I thought we were comparing the JZX100 (which all have VVT-i) to the R33? If not, my bad :)

The Chaser would win.

The 1JZ-GTE in the earlier Chasers/Mark IIs/Crestas were twin-turbo, non VVTi - that's the JZX-80- and JZX-90-series models.

The 1JZ-GTE in the JZX-100 and onwards models was the single-turbo version with VVTi, and they did have more torque than the GT-Rs - at least the R32 and R33 models, not sure about the R34.

The only 2JZ-powered Chasers are non-turbo, as far as I know. Same engine as the JZA-80 non-turbo Supra, the JZZ-30 non-turbo Soarer/Lexus SC300 and the non-turbo JZS-140 and JZS-161 Aristo/Lexus GS300 (including the Aussie-delivered ones).

I can't see myself getting rid of my Stagea any time soon, but if I ever need or can afford a second car, a manual JZX-100 Chaser is at the top of my wish-list!

As ive said -I had a 243 rwkw Series II 33 that ran consistent 12.5s.

The Chaser felt like it had a bucketload more torque and also could put the power to the ground. The skyline turned its 265s at 100 km/h on the freeway.

THe VVTi 1JZ feels like a devil down low. Such low end power, it freaked WRXs and Stageas out ( one particular MODDED stagea indeed got its arse handed to it by my complete complete standard Chaser) - they literally launch like a 4WD car due to low end torque.

Ohh yeah and aristos are boats - why compare a shit car to a good car? Because HPI magazine talked em up so much there meant to be a good thing?? Biggest boat lazy car ive ever driven in my life.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
