[rs73]

I know they're not skyline... but...

Has anyone here seen one on our road? seems to be very scarce at the moment. The photos from HPI kinda cool, prob will be next car to consider when starting a family+kids+dog+........

[nissaner]

u don't see that many of them on road coz no one in oz have compliance plate for them(jzx100) atm... as what i've been told from craig from j-spec...

[mr180]

I've seen two here in Melbourne... Maybe these were personal imports?

[nissaner]

maybe jzx90's???

[Pva_Glue]

after new import law, I think you can get them in australaia.

they are just awesome family car I think,

I would definatly concider as my next car, it reminds of 5 Series BMW.

cheers

Yeah, I like the body styling, altho interior I suspect will be as bland as other Toyotas... Unless someone recolour some trim parts with other colours like silver or woodgrain... depends on which style they want..

[skyzerr33]

yeah they are kewl theres one for sale in perth atm possibly two.

i'm gonna have one as a second car when money allows.

find the manual version then u can wack a powerfc on it.

and as joe said they remind me of a 5 series.

[doxximus]

that chaser is a good family/performance car, but for a family/performance car i would love a stagea hehehe would be so cool

One like this? What model is it?

[Guest TTZ32]

And another. I took these pics last week at Roma. The badge on the back said Mark II? Check out the awesome wheels:)

[skyzerr33]

thats a jzx90

ultimatley your after the jzx100 tourerV markII. it has the manual (optional, rare, mainly autos) 2.5 single turbo engine.

[nissaner]

aren't they twin turbos?

[skyzerr33]

nope

the orignal version of that engine (mk3 supra and soarer) had the twin turbo's. in later model cars ie the jzx100 they dropped the two small turbos for a single larger one. its more responsive and less laggy aparently.

[Guest INASNT]

tell me they aint the original wheels they come out with!!

poxy intecptor wheels! we all know they only looked good on a dumped vl with turbo badge stuck on the back!!

then, how come all the jzx100s listed at j-spec auction data are twin turbos???

[skyzerr33]

what year?

1996 onwards had the single as far as i know?? i could be wrong. but they did go to a single turbo setup at some stage. My mate with a mk3 supra sourced one for an engine swap but he couldn't get the $$ for it at the time.

[nissaner]

yup, even 00,01 model jzx 100s r twin turbos.... both mark2, chaser...

[Boostzor]

I think the single turbos were pretty dam rare. The 92 supras had singles and they got vvTi as well. Most of the 1jz's out there are twins dunno why maybe they started concerntrating on the 3.0 2jz and gave up on the old tech.

[skyzerr33]

hmm the only thing i can say is the engines my mate was looking at must of had turbo conversions

[rs73]

Even on some supra lots of ppl modify them into a single turbo conversion, as it is far cheaper than buying two sets of turbo and a good single turbo will do the job well.

Alternatively, I think it won't be long until someone stick in a twin turbo charged 2JZGTE engine from a Supra into a Chaser JZX100... Dunno if that can be achieved as gearbox mount, driveshaft length etc could be different. But the engine bay suppose to fit as it looks larger than a Supra.
