I standard manual chaser will flog a standard manual R33 according to the specs I read in high performance imports (i'm not sure about R34s). They easily crack 13's when stock. The twin turbo 1JZ is an absolute ball tearer. They are a fair bit lighter than a soarer even with the extra 2 doors. Apparenty some importer is staring to get heaps of them now.

manuals uncommon?

Not so, there are lots, but there are more autos. That's a fact - I was looking at them in a japanese car classified mag during lunch. I've been thinking of getting one as a daily driver to take home (4 doors are handy), but my other half doesn't like them - she thinks they look like a magna crossed with a bmw. I have to agree, but I've seen a few stunning examples - very nice when bodykitted (a bit like the r34).

curious..

the 97 or so models look a bit like a verada from the front and a bit like an older BMW from the back?? Apparently they are one of the vehicles that are now available under the new scheme

I still think i'd still go the soarer though if i was going for that sort of thing...'cause i want something cheap :(

Here is a couple of nice pix of them so u get the idea... its a bit like a different looking 4door R34

and to think toyota australia had two cars to pick from when they brought out the avalon

the avalon a us market designed car (which the new camry is better than, so the avalon is a waste) and the chaser, but in toyota australias great wisdom they went with the avalon

idiots.

chasers run 14's on a real drag strip, are no quicker in that regard than a skyline.

A friend of mine's family yard has had the RAW's certification done for the chaser/MK2 recently , it passed the side impact tests with flying colours. What an expense that RAWs thing is! He had to send a Stagea over to get side impact tested (they basically wreck it) and if it passes then its got to do emissions tests and things as well. For every car that gets the Aussi tick one poor car has been sacrificed.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
