Been looking at these over the last couple of weeks and am starting to take a liking to them. Just wondering if any one had any feed back about them be it good or bad points.

Might look at buying one once the 32 is gone....one day lol.

Thanks.

Nice mid size car with the comfort and power to pull, which was all put to the ground with its full time 4WD System.

:D

:yes:

IMO interior is the ONLY let down. Slightly i dunno, grandpa spec. Definitely not as sporty as a 4 Door R34 interior or anything. However, they did spruce it up with carbon fibre inserts (might be fake, i have heard they are but they are convincingly real looking)

The car itself, so so smooth. Seriously they just rev out so cleanly. About as quick as an R34 in a straight line.

They are uber cheap in Japan, but because of their rareity here they do command a price way above what you would expect considering how much they cost in japan.

Fantastic car.

Correct until the second last line - they're actually quite expensive in Japan, and command a premium there compared to the equivalent R34 sedan. Then again, all RWD turbo cars are over-priced in Japan these days, for obvious reasons :(

Yeh toyota made AWD aristos too... there is heaps of crazy AWD cars but they never (or very rarely) bothered to make them in the turbo models.

I believe the awd aristo's only came out with the 4ltr v8, wack a couple of turbo's on and away you go.

Well i stand corrected :devil:

Yeh i havnt checked for a while. My memory says that I saw some at auction for around 7ish grand. IMO thats cheap. Obviously there are import costs, compliancing etc, but I expect most people sellings their manuals for over 20 here in Aus would be pocketing some money. Is that a correct assumptiion or...? This was a while ago like i said

If they've got a Mark II then possibly, but they really haven't dropped off in price at all. I've got a cheapie on my site at the moment but as a general rule, if someone wants a clean manual Chaser with under 80,000km they're gonna be looking at $20K importing one from Japan. Chasers really haven't dropped much in price over there.

The motor is sensational obviously, I'd take one in a heartbeat over an RB25, sorry guys. I felt more comfortable in my 34 than my Chaser though, and while the trim in the 100s is nicer quality, the style of the fabric is awful in the series 1s at least. I've seen R34s in Japan running 1Js, which would be my ideal combo I reckon..

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
