Car: '97 (JZX100) Toyota Chaser Tourer V

Colour Dark Green/Black (looks black in most light)

Engine: 1JZ GTE VVTi single turbo

Gearbox: 4Sp Auto

Price: $16600

I am the first Australian owner of this car which was bought as a grade 4B (very good condition) car from the auctions in Japan. It already had a new timing belt, the 3 piece, 17" Intelesse wheels, Rs*R lowered suspension, air filter, 3" stainless exhaust, and Dvd/Vcd player, and TRD front grille fitted.

Since purchase, I have fitted smoked front indicators, a full Trust Spec-M intercooler kit, Torsen LSD, 3" downpipe, and an Apexi Power FC ECU.

The car has been modified for economy (leaving plenty of potential for further performance from the current setup, and other mods, if desired), and after fitment of the above parts, gained both power (now 265HP at the wheels), and economy (gained about 100km per tank). It has been fastidiously maintained, and perfectly reliable. One of the best presented, sensibly modied Chasers in the country: mature enthusiast owner means all work has been carried out by professionals, and no corners cut.

Any enquiries, please either call me 0413003013, or email: [email protected]

Cheers,

Micah

Thanks for the offer, but I have another car already in compliance, so am looking for an outright sale.

Good luck with the sale!

Manual conversion would be around $5500-$6k if you paid to have all work done....assuming you could find a decent R154 Gearbox. That said, a Manual in the same condition as mine should have about a $8k premium, so I guess it would be a cost-effective exercise, if you look at it that way...

The cheaper option would be to get MV automatics to shift-kit the auto, and strengthen it, then retune the transmission and engine for better performance with the Power FC, and have a rip-snorting auto for very little outlay.

I know there's no substitute for 3 pedals, but auto suits these cars, IMO....

Thanks for the comments and free bump!

    • Lamb roast on Saturday will be different 🥲
    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
