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..

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
