Looks like I was completely wrong on the chaser. And the photos above actually look pretty cool - now if only they came in a wagon... :laugh:

All the same, I still prefer the looks of skylines/stageas and the chaser just makes me think "vip" which totally isn't what I want my car to be. :)

No comparisons.

My R33 felt nervous, edgy and too tail happy on Twisties.

Ask many of my mates how the Chaser did up in the hills, Reefton Spur, Dandenong runs - I had to park the car and wait a couple of minutes for the other cars to arrive at times. Very very stable, very easy to predict.

Weight is light, suspesnion is the biggest OVERLOOKED thing on Chasers.

Centerline suspension in Victoria FREAKED out when they see my Chasers FACTORY setup. They were expecting a Cressida. They go to me, this is nothing short of a race car, all aluminium components, rose joints like on the race cars, underbody bracing.

In my opinion, asking how a chaser handles compared to a R33 is like asking - Whats quicker? A Hyundai Excel or a Skyline.

Hearing that makes me want a Chaser even more than I do now, but I have no money :(

A Chaser is a pretty big car from what I've seen, but for it to handle as good as you say it does...... :D

Any pics of your car Starionturbo?

haha fair enough, i didnt think my r33 was nervous and un balanced though, i know 2 door ones are a bit. you have a ceffy too?, much difference there in comparison?(i have one of them things too ;) )

I was just thinking they do look alright....

and the amount of bullshit attention you would get from police would be slightly less than what every kid drives...

<< read what I drive.. every 18yr old an his mate own what I drive... doesnt make me like it any less.. i love the damm thing... wish i could drive it without being bloody harassed though.

2jz setup in a chaser sounds good... (not a 1jz fan) give it the supra's drive line.. has 4 doors... sounds sexual.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
