With a New Year ahead of me, comes a New Car... this time I'm looking at importing something different to my Nissan dominated past (R31, Z32, S14, GF50, V35, V36)... :blush2:

The car will be Toyota, Sedan, Automatic, Turbocharged, Straight 6... which leads me to the JZX100 Chaser, JZX100 Mark II, JZX110 Mark II and JZS171 Crown :wub:

I'm curious to see what current (and previous) V-Series owner's would choose if they were swinging towards Toyota's 1JZ-GTE camp. :pirate:

PS: I'm aware this post may be seen as blasphemy among current V-Series owners... :ph34r2:

Please feel free to discuss your reasoning for why you choose a particular vehicle from the poll.... :)

I love the sounds of the 1J, but a 36 would be more comfortable than a 100j.

Could also look at a Mark X - i dont' know much about them but look similar to is250. They have a 3.5L and run low 14's similar to v36. no turbo though

If your going auto I would like a Crown

Actually whats up with the engine bay shot in that link ? not a 1J

That's not a 1JZ... *THIS* is a 1JZ!

I see you know how to play knifey spoony... :P

The JZS171 Crown Athlete V's were the last of the 1JZ-GTE Crowns (or any Toyota for that matter, outside of the JZX110 Mark II).

Ah yes... Ye 'ol Fagaro FK(that)10... Perfect car for making a Mighty Car Mods episode in.

That's about it.

PS: The +M Supercharged by Modellista is very special... in fact too special for Australia currently :P

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
