R34 4 Door or JZX100 Chaser

[?UESTLOVE]

What do you think, is the better all round car, in terms of:

looks

performance

fuel economy

potential

reliabilty

Here are 2 modified examples

JZX100

R34

I'd take the Chaser, but I'm a big fan of R34 sedans too.

looks - about the same. I think they both look awesome, but in different ways. The Chaser is more of a luxury look, whereas the R34 is sportier.

performance - JZX100, but only just. 378Nm from 2400rpm versus 343(s1)/363(s2)Nm at 3200rpm is just in the Chaser's favour.

fuel economy - about the same I think.

potential - not sure what you mean here, but both engines are highly moddable if that's what you meant.

reliabilty - Toyota quality Nissan are good too, so I'd say about the same.

One big thing for me was resale price. Sedans often sell for a lot lower if they have a coupe equivalent. There's no coupe Chaser, so I'd say it would hold its value just a bit better. Then again, they cost more to buy in the first place, so it probably evens out.

I'd buy the Chaser

Good to see non biased opinions here! Im a biased Mofo, so, Id take the Chaser. Having not driven any, I think, the only thing I can comment on are the looks, and I think the Chaser looks better.

I'm amazed nobody has compared the interiors yet

I'm amazed nobody has compared the interiors yet

Here's a pic of mine. The original pics from Japan were terrible, so I thought it the series 2 JZX100s were pretty much the worst interior you could get in a car, but when I sat in it for the first time I changed my opinion very quickly.

The carbon fibre is very nice and suits the car really well, and the seats have a nice feel to them. The pattern on them isn't too special, but it's a lot nicer than I first thought.

Go the Chaser, better than the dime-a-dozen Skyline.

4 door, i'm not biased at all :angel:, chaser is a better car though .

[Al]

I too would probably pick the Chaser.

I believe that the Skyline would handle better than the Chaser and when considering performance also take into account power-to-weight.

[dojobi]

A manual R34 Sedan weighs 1430kg and a manual JZX100 Chaser weighs 1480kg, so there's a good 50kg difference. I think the extra 35Nm and torque lower down the rev range would pretty much even it out.

Handling wise, I have no idea. I've never driven an R34 (or my own Chaser for that matter )

EDIT: The autos are a different story. R34 = 1450kg, Chaser = 1490kg, but the auto R34 only has 333Nm. So if you're after an auto one, go the Chaser.

Chaser is a much more unique car

I would prefer that.

Provided it is the Tourer V turbo version

[Tommyk]

and it is MANUAL

[justinfox]

Chaser is hot Shane, but the R34 with the Eastbear GT-R front/kit will look damn insane and I think, in the same colour as the chaser, will turn a shitload more heads... if that's what you want!

Who can not gawk at an R34 GT-R when you see one on the streets? They have so much street presence that's for sure.

[Mr. Oizo]

I'd take the Chaser.

That specific one is ****ing hot.

[Dee 33]

Chaser is the hottest. And most people won't even know what it is

[racsov500]

Chaser.. especially if your looking for an auto

[MADGT4]

I'm a Skyline man through and through BUT

If someone offered me a JZX100........

Cya later 32

[Bazelinez]

Having owned a JZX90 Mark2 I can't recommend them enough. 14 flat stock.

I used to get about 14L/100 out of mine, not grand.....

[Maxx]

Chaser

however JZX100 is somewhere around high 30, and u can get a R34 for 30g or less.

They aren't "10g" better than R34, more like < $5000

[predator]

It's a little unfair to compare those two cars, as obviously they have had tens of thousands of dollars thrown at them. You'd really have to compare stock look to stock look, and I think the R34 has the edge there as look different to most cars out there.

The chaser has many cues to other cars out there. Many might not even draw an eye unless you know what you are looking at. I've seen a couple of stock looking ones out there, and often hard to distinguish it from a Camry from a distance (the ultimate insult! sorry )
