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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
