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

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
