[Luke_ENR34]

saw a new WRX written off today on lonsdale hwy around 1pm. Both air bags out. Driver looked pretty pissed off. Think a commo hit him or other way around.

Also had to wait an extra 30mins at work for the cop car to leave out the front on the rd lol

Hopefully my splitfires arrive tomorrow. Damm Access Autoworks not replying to emails after ive sent money grr

My fkn turbo is making a bulk weird noise. It almost sounds like theres something rattling around in the exhaust housing

It was boosting fine when I drove it last night, then when I started it this arvo to move it to the lawn I noticed the sound.

I had to turn it off not long after it had seen some decent boosting last night, could that have done something?

sorry dutch oven, i cant answer your question, but i do have a question for you,

im lookin for another car atm, its a toss up between a jzx100 chaser, manual

or 34 door,

i havent found any particular yet, just sort of seeing whats around

how do you rate your car? mod abilities, power, etc,

i have never driven one before, and i dont really wanna go look at one thats for sale, just to take it for a spin (i hate joy riders)

i pretty much want a review

thanks mate

34 door

a car with 34 doors ?

wow

[craig R33]

ooops

ya, a stretch limo 34

[bezender]

I know the question was not directed at me BUT....

i would have a jxz100 manual if i could have afforded one at the time,

i drove one that had heavy duty clutch, teins, ebc, fmic and a zorst... it was AWESOME. felt a lot smaller than it actually is.

im sure u know toyota have a tendancy to over engineer things, so u can throw lots of bolt ons at a 1J and thrash it, and in return it will love u.

also i reckon they are dead sexy

edit:

check this >>>jzx90<<< that has a 1.5J for sale $15k !!!!!!!!

[craig R33]

very toyota biased lol

[AndrewJZX100]

Well, seeing as my car is a shitbox 32, I rate it pretty poorly

But as for a JZX100, I drove a 34 coupe and my old 100 back to back and I can say performance wise they are pretty well on par. Similar power delivery (100 has a bit more bottom-mid) and similar feel when chucking them around (which is pretty good considering the extra weight of the 100).

On stock sus, the 100 feels heaps nicer to drive, but has a bit more roll and pitch than a stock sus 34. Coilovers even it up and with sways too, mine was in GTR spec handling territory.

I thought the interior of the 34 was a bit boy racerish, where as the 100 has a nice comfy Camry-like interior which is a great place to sit when tootling to and from work. Also seats any mates who want to come for a drive a lot better than a 34.

Looks are subjective, but I don't think theres any competition there, 100 all the way

In summary, the 100 is something you can enjoy every day in comfort, and still bust hills runs and keep up with most cars. The 34 would be on par in the hills, yet a bit harsher for every day use. Not to mention the cop attention is chalk and cheese, my old 100 had straight pipes and flush fitment and I barely got a second look from cops. You chuck a set of wheels on a Skyline and every cop looks at you with dollar signs in their eyes.

[craig R33]

thanks mate, it wont be a daily driver, and the mods will be fairly extensive, more so than my old 33.

i need to find someone willing to take me for a boot

[r33 chris]

hey craig i told u not to take pictures of my garage man! lol

[craig R33]

dreamer

[r33 chris]

hey its not illegal to dream!

[AndrewJZX100]

Craig - If your gonna mod the crap out of it, it could go either way. Theres a bit more more shit readily available for the 34 and for cheaper then JZX100 stuff. The 25 would be just as good as the 1J with similar bolt ons, maybe just a *smidge* less torquey. It would probably come down to what car you'd rather be seen driving

If Gregs 90 is still available when you're ready to buy, I'd say get that and manual it 1.5J + manual would = shitloads of fun

wage war in your office!!!!

[craig R33]

90' are ugly though

lol

i dunno, i know what im doing with a skyline, so might just stick with what i know ........

i dunno, confused

[J - Rad]

Theres a black chaser near my house, black D-Teks on it and big exhaust..f**k me it sounds amazing. Way better than ANY 25 I've heard that for sure. Looks the goods man. I'd go a manual chaser for sure. It was one of the newer ones. Dunno what it was but I know it was shit hot!

[AndrewJZX100]

Yeah I'm thinking it'd be a lot easier to just get a 34 and work with what you know. As said above though ^ a 1J with a decent exhaust is pure aural sex. Hills runs in my old one with straight pipes were bliss.

Looks wise, I prefer the 100 in Chaser and Mark II variants. 90 Chasers can look pretty fking cool though.

This is a JZX90 Chaser with just a Vertex Lip kit and GTR rims. Fking stylish rig in my eyes
