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.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
