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

    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy. 
    • Welcome.  Was the mistake the car, or joining us? 😏
