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...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
