Chaser Vs R34 Gtt Sedan

[ironpaw]

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

toyota motors are better than nissan motors. end of story.

i'd love to have a chaser as a daily, it would be perfect.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

chaser every time... but only in manual (both cars)

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!

And chasers look sexy too

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

Ok, is there any reason most of the Chasers on carsales have very low mileage for their age? If they're all wound back then that's kinda freaky.

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..

^^^chaser

^^^JZX110 interior

If you must have a sedan..get an evo

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...

[Ten Four]

Chaser... cant buy purely for terrible interior... Which you see everytime you drive the car =/

[adamskill]

the day you pick up a mark2 you need to drive past repco and get some seat covers.
