Visited importfactory (ex kamikaze) tonight and had a look at a R34 GTT sedan. While I was inspecting the car the sales guy asked if I've checked out any Chasers. Sheepishly I said no...and he showed me a couple he had in stock. I was impressed. Guy claims they are better built and had more low down torque compared to the Skyline...

So....anyone's that's driven/owned both before - what's your opinion? I think I still prefer the Skyline's look...but the Chaser's got a tough/sleeper look to it...less of a cop magnet I presume?

And before anyone suggest couple/2 drs - I need a sedan.

What's the 1JZGET like compared to the RB25DET? Similar displacement...

What about the auto slush box? How do they compare?

jzx100 with manual gearbox is the hot tip. they are a bit more expensive, but worth every cent in my opinion

Just test drove a GTT at Power Road....wasn't terribly impressed - maybe I wasn't used to the different throttle (the throttle/response in my mazda 3 is really responsive) but to get the car going I'd need to hit 3000prm...before then its kinda meh.

Looks like I'll be getting a Chaser if its low down torque is really all its hyped up to be!

it's a turbo car. of course it won't have the low down power of a NA car, even though there is a 500cc difference in engine size. also the mazda probably has shorter gear ratios.

So an NA 2.0L has more torque down low then a Turbo 2.5L?

You're probably right about the gear ratios...they're quite short.

vvti 1jzgte is an awesome engine

379 nm of torque peaks at 2400 rpm and is perttm much flat untill past 6000

nearly finished putting one a s13 . gonna be epic

and yeah about the mazda your right . gfs mirage feels way faster round town than my stagea

chaser is getting a bit "common" these days.. i just worry that you'll regret it when you see one of "those dudes" driving one..

..you know.. the dude that's somehow ALWAYS got sunburned red dry skin.. dried out lips.. a wobbly nose, blonde hair carved into a mohawk / mullet hybrid.. wears "tapout" jackets everywhere he goes no matter what it's like outside..

if i saw "that guy" driving the same car as me i'd feel a bit gutted personally..

then again that's coming from me - a dude that drives a freakin soarer.

but yes - general consensus is as follows:

toyota engine are better than nissan engine

sooo engine wise it's end of story there..

but things i'd like to add..

mark2 looks MUCH better and classier than chaser

the toyota auto "sludge box" is actually a real pleasure to drive.. it's not messy at all..

the chaser interior is butt... not much different to R34 sedan interior.. just saying i don't really like either interior..

if your budget can afford it - i recommend stretching it out to a JZX110.. if you can..

^^^looks a lot nicer than the chaser IMO

..and to summarize what i was saying about interiors..

Saw another Chaser tonight at Gran Turismo. The guy there seems nice...no pressure, they had an auto series 2 chaser with a TRD kit in pearl white which was hot as. Just arrived, HKS intercooler + pod, unknown catback zorst, boost controller...65000km?

Listed price is $13999. Wonder if I can get them down to $13k...

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
