uhmm what about insurance. If most are saying chasers are rare they must cost a fair bit to insure?

My pic would be the chaser because it's a nice cruiser with performance.

The r34 is a great car too but in my opinion attracts the wrong kind of attention.

A skyline will have every bogan out there trying to drag you off at the lights while the chaser will be a bit of a sleeper that only enthusiests will notice.

R34 sedan looks great to my eyes, I do admit a certain bias though hehe

I can't really see how 2 door variants perform better at the track anyway.

Sure if they weigh more but the difference between my car and a manual

coupe is 40kg. Not that much and can be offset by the size of a driver.

Suspension? Is it softer? Most who are track regulars change stock susp

anyway.... Seen a few 34 sedan drifting in Jap also... Seems like a

misconception to me. I mean do rear doors increases chassis flexing or

something :confused:

Well if we're going to compare the bottom models, here's 2 pics for you to compare :D

Just to be fair though, here's why I think the Chaser is more of a Magna than a Camry (the headlights just aren't similar at all on the Camry). The headlights on the Magna are very similar.

Just something to wet your apetite.

I know of your Altezza, nice ride, but i hopefully will be getting my JZX100 Chaser by the end of the year.

As michael and some of the guys said earlier, performance wise they are pretty much on par, looks, i much prefer the jzx100, cleaner smoother lines, r34 4 doors are much to boxy for me. Interior is really just a personal taste, but i like the carbon fibre trim the JZX100 has stock, and defi style cluster.

For mods i mean heaps of parts available for both engines, 1JZ's have been proven to be a bit stronger than the RB25's in general and the manual 5 speed that comes with the 100's is abo****ely bullet proof (once you change the thrust washer in the 1st gear with a decent strength item) and is good for a hell of a lot more power than the r34 5 speed.

Id say take them both for a drive, see which one you like the feel of better and go for that because they really are so similar for working on, just need to choose what tickles your fancy.

Insurance should be marginally cheaper for a JZX100 as well, plus less attention from the police orrificers while it remains stock.

1JZ 4 lyfe :werd:

Good luck!

anyone know what ya looking for a JZX100 Chaser in manual these days? low thirtys/high twentys?

jake32 i hope ya didnt paste a whole bunch of jzx90 prices seing as it said twin-turbo which as the 100's are single turbo doesnt seem like them, or a company that doesnt know the difference betweent he two =|

here are some stats for ya, all prices are USD and purchase price only in japan, so convert to AUD and then add $10k to work out the on road price, approximately of course.

For example the first car on the list was sold at auction on 21/7/05, its a Toyota Chaser, year is 1997, displacement is 2.5L, its an Automatic, 66,000 km's, dont know what this date is for lol, colour is green, JZX100 is series, tourer v is model, $8890 USD, grade 4

thats what they call em where i buy em and of course they know the difference between 100 and 90 ....

Id defiantly go the JZX100 over the R34, damn, I was about to buy one! I just got lazy and couldnt take the wait for one to come over..

Body parts would become hard to get for them I would imagine for quite a while, I just hope that interest in them picks up very soon..

And on the subject of them looking like a camry, Ive always thought the chaser series to look quite like the equivalent year almost camrys over there, the jzx90 can certainly look like some camry models as well. But hey, they are practically the camry for over there so theres no reason why they wouldnt copy the design for over here!

I wasn't really going to say anything (due to the natural bias) and admittedly, the done up Chasers look quite hot - FROM THE OUTSIDE!

Once the photos of the interior were posted up, I couldn't stop gaggin! And did someone say it'll end up costing more? Man, 99% of your time with your car is spent INSIDE it, so it pays to have a good interior~

OMG seeing those photos and then trying to draw a connection with that nice red exterior... just don't work!

then they should know that a JZX100 is single turbo ;-)

on a side not the manuals are significantly more expensive for a reason, with a decent tranny cooler on the auto u mite be able 2 get around 350-370rwhp or so before maybe running into problems, whereas the 5 speed box is happy to go to insane levels many people on toymods have cars running these boxes with cars that are makin 400rwkw+

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
