Just curious as to 0-100 km times from the factory for a JZX110 Mark II IR-V (5 Speed Auto) Vs V35 Coupe 350GT (5 Speed Auto).

I know V35 350GT's (VQ35DE) are quick from the factory (I used to own one!) and I've had a V36 350GT (VQ35HR) and that was noticeably quicker too... so where does a JZX110 Mark II (1JZ-GTE)...?

The V35's have and excellent auto box from the factory and a sensational engine...

...but the Mark II's have the legendary 1JZ-GTE! (torquay as phuk with 378 Nm from 2400rpm).

Thanks in advance!

*Prefer real world answers opposed to guesstimation.

Even if the Mk II didn't win (which I would be very surprised if it didn't) it would sure sound and look a whole lot better doing it ;)

1JZ > VQ any day. And I'm not even a Toyota fanboy (truth be told I am probably a Nissan fanboy), J's are just the best engines!

I have an old Wheels mag floating around somewhere (circa 2007), where they test drove one in a "bang for your buck" article. The stock auto ran a respectable 14.4 in a 98/99 chaser. I'll have a look for it tonight- I dont usually buy Wheels, but it had a decent R35 GTR article I wanted to read.

If the articles I've seen on G35 driver are anything to go by, a stock auto V35 coupe will run a 14.6 in full auto, and low 14's in tiptronic and a small brake stall at launch.

Thanks for the feedback (still welcoming more!) I'm very curious to know more info from that wheels magazine you read.

PS: Whilst I'm a Nissan fanboy (based automatically on the high % of Nissan's Vs Everything else that I've owned... 1JZ is life.

(and VQ engines are award winning... 10 years straight, don't forget!)... It's just that 1JZ = God tier ;)

Would love to know JZX100 / JZX110 stock auto 0-100 km times (accurately).

I'd put my money on the JZX... Might be a different story against a V36 though

"The tacho needle flies around the dial faster than you would believe possible and our test automatic nails 0-100km/h in a scant 5.65 seconds before crossing 400 metres in a stonking 13.18. We then test rolling acceleration. The automatic kicks down and 80-120 disappears in 3.4 seconds, leaving us absolutely gob smacked."

My chaser never felt that fast when it was stock... that quarter mile time sounds a bit far fetched for a stock JZX to me. Plus the JZX110 is heavier than the JZX100.

But who cares about 0-100's now adays. I'm seriously considering a car I can drive closer to the limit through the hills like a little hot hatch with awesome handling. V36 is pretty boring :(

I loved my V36 (and V35) I really, really did... but I understand what you mean Julian... when you describe a 'pocket rocket' for your next car.

Where I'm excited for the JZX110 is the excellent amount of torque usable at such low revs... which is perfect for a daily driver (especially commuting through traffic, overtaking, traffic light wars etc haha).

*I still care very much for 0-100 times :ninja:

I've only been in manual V35s but I'd guess 0-100 they'd be pretty even stock, throw an exhaust on them both the JZX will probably be slightly ahead.

They'd be close enough to get which ever you prefer the look & feel of.

This is what I loved about the chaser. It was great (and that sound).

What I didn't like was the ETCS which wouldn't let you have any fun around corners. Would limit power until you were travelling in more of a straight line. I'd look into disabling that ;)

Old JZX thread about it http://www.jzx100.com/forum/topic/89-disabling-etcs/?p=50830

Also, if you aren't aware, North Shore Toyota (NZ) on the JZX forum is a great source for parts. Often cheaper than buying here.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
