Hi guys,

I know it's not a Skyline, but I know a fair few of you are fans of Chasers, so I thought I'd post up some pics of mine. It's still in Japan atm, but it should be here soon (hopefully).

It's a 99 model, series 2 JZX100 Tourer V.

The engine puts out 206kW @ 6200rpm and 378Nm @ 2400rpm

Series 2 taillights here - they look way better than the S1s imo.

Photoshopped to have a clear blinker (I'll be ordering these pretty much straight away)

I've got more pics (interior etc), but I won't post them unless people want them.

Cheers,

Michael

Yeah I quite like it too :(

I'd love some deep dish wheels for it, but after buying that I don't think I'll have too much cash left.

I won't be touching the ride height though - my last car had a 400R kit and that was so impractical. This is my "I've turned 25 and need something practical, but don't want to give up the turbo" car :)

It's not that bad a job is it? :cheers: That's my photoshopped one. Read just above the pic.

I was just trying to see how it would look without the hideous orange blinkers. I think the clear ones are on the Avante models, so I'll have to get a set of those somehow.

MIC33R, Oh my bad...

Question...is it a TRD version? From the badge upfront. Interior looks normal and the TRD version rear wing is?

None the less, nice buy. I was going to buy a Chaser but ended up pouring too much money in mods. Well also I found out Chaser could be imported so I didn't specially have to buy one to send home.

I also used to only like the series 2 lights but after a while the series 1 lights grow on you...they are both good IMO.

Nah it's just a plain version. I'm really not a fan of the TRD wing or front bar to be honest. I'd say the owner just bought a TRD grille (which is different to the TRD model's grille anyway). I actually prefer the meshed stock one anyway, so I'll be looking to swap with someone here unless they put the original one in the boot.

I still like the series 1 lights, but I prefer the S2 ones by far.

What sort of car do you think you'll bring back when you do come home?

Nice man.  I have to say I was seriously considering one of these but ended importing my R instead.   Very nice, might still end up with one of these in the future.....

A GTR was my other option, but I took the 4 door way. Maybe I'll regret it when I get the car, but I think I made the right decision.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
