Chaser spotted


Recommended Posts

I saw my first chaser (Mk4 I think but dont quote me) today whilst launching the boat to go fishing :rolleyes:

This was at the boat ramp at the end of Katanning street just off Guilford rd. If you know your geography this is on the same street as A&B auto's who are a compliance mob. It was black with chrome deep dish 5-7 or so spoke mags and was a manual with blowoff valve.

I could tell it was a manual and had a blowoff valve cause the driver was umm erm testing the handling characteristics of the car:rolleyes:

I'm not sure if it had dealer plates or not so does anyone know if they can be complied as yet or is the sevs procedure still being gone through?

Anyways it was bloody schmick, sounded awesome and although very camry/cressida looking it made me look 5 or 6 times.

P.S. Ken your GTR hasn't moved from the front carpark since Tuesday except to bring it in at night. Dont be suprised if they take longer than quoted...again :D

Hi Rhino,

As of now there was only one importer who could get the Chaser 2.5twin-turbo (JZX90) in, and that is Cannington Auto Wholesale, Frank is the owner and I think the cars go for $25K. I do believe that C-red are bringing them in soon, as they make awesome drift cars. The Chaser, Mark II and Tourer V are all the same car with minor differences.

There are also a number of LX90's , which is a 2.4L diesel turbo , my mate owns one, they look good, use F/A fuel but have no real performance.

See'ya:burnout:

GTS-4OrCeD,

Unfortunately most of the ones around are LX90's, the turbo diesel. You can tell as they have the down-turned exhaust. The 1JZ engine is fantastic, what I used to have in my Supra, so although they don't look quick they can hand your ass to you if you don't expect it.

See'ya:burnout:

Guys,

My Mark II is a JZX100. I also had a Mark II JZX90 which I got rid of. Both the 90 and the 100 are available in Chaser, Cresta and Mark II, with different front and rear ends basically. As a guide my JZX100 has 260 odd rwhp and is as quick as the GTAAH rolling start. Its fcken nuts. We'll have compliance available for the JZX100 within 2 or 3 months.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
