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.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
