Skyline R33 Vs Toyota Chaser

[pixel8r]

Looks like I was completely wrong on the chaser. And the photos above actually look pretty cool - now if only they came in a wagon...

All the same, I still prefer the looks of skylines/stageas and the chaser just makes me think "vip" which totally isn't what I want my car to be.

what about as a complete package, which car wins? (i.e handling, stopping etc). i like the chasers , i own a 33 4 door (lol)

No comparisons.

My R33 felt nervous, edgy and too tail happy on Twisties.

Ask many of my mates how the Chaser did up in the hills, Reefton Spur, Dandenong runs - I had to park the car and wait a couple of minutes for the other cars to arrive at times. Very very stable, very easy to predict.

Weight is light, suspesnion is the biggest OVERLOOKED thing on Chasers.

Centerline suspension in Victoria FREAKED out when they see my Chasers FACTORY setup. They were expecting a Cressida. They go to me, this is nothing short of a race car, all aluminium components, rose joints like on the race cars, underbody bracing.

In my opinion, asking how a chaser handles compared to a R33 is like asking - Whats quicker? A Hyundai Excel or a Skyline.

Hearing that makes me want a Chaser even more than I do now, but I have no money

A Chaser is a pretty big car from what I've seen, but for it to handle as good as you say it does......

Any pics of your car Starionturbo?

Drive it before you buy it. There not as good as everyone is making out.

They seem like a decent car... too bad they are not attractive.

haha fair enough, i didnt think my r33 was nervous and un balanced though, i know 2 door ones are a bit. you have a ceffy too?, much difference there in comparison?(i have one of them things too )

I was just thinking they do look alright....

and the amount of bullshit attention you would get from police would be slightly less than what every kid drives...

<< read what I drive.. every 18yr old an his mate own what I drive... doesnt make me like it any less.. i love the damm thing... wish i could drive it without being bloody harassed though.

2jz setup in a chaser sounds good... (not a 1jz fan) give it the supra's drive line.. has 4 doors... sounds sexual.
