Been looking at these over the last couple of weeks and am starting to take a liking to them. Just wondering if any one had any feed back about them be it good or bad points.

Might look at buying one once the 32 is gone....one day lol.

Thanks.

Nice mid size car with the comfort and power to pull, which was all put to the ground with its full time 4WD System.

:D

:yes:

IMO interior is the ONLY let down. Slightly i dunno, grandpa spec. Definitely not as sporty as a 4 Door R34 interior or anything. However, they did spruce it up with carbon fibre inserts (might be fake, i have heard they are but they are convincingly real looking)

The car itself, so so smooth. Seriously they just rev out so cleanly. About as quick as an R34 in a straight line.

They are uber cheap in Japan, but because of their rareity here they do command a price way above what you would expect considering how much they cost in japan.

Fantastic car.

Correct until the second last line - they're actually quite expensive in Japan, and command a premium there compared to the equivalent R34 sedan. Then again, all RWD turbo cars are over-priced in Japan these days, for obvious reasons :(

Yeh toyota made AWD aristos too... there is heaps of crazy AWD cars but they never (or very rarely) bothered to make them in the turbo models.

I believe the awd aristo's only came out with the 4ltr v8, wack a couple of turbo's on and away you go.

Well i stand corrected :devil:

Yeh i havnt checked for a while. My memory says that I saw some at auction for around 7ish grand. IMO thats cheap. Obviously there are import costs, compliancing etc, but I expect most people sellings their manuals for over 20 here in Aus would be pocketing some money. Is that a correct assumptiion or...? This was a while ago like i said

If they've got a Mark II then possibly, but they really haven't dropped off in price at all. I've got a cheapie on my site at the moment but as a general rule, if someone wants a clean manual Chaser with under 80,000km they're gonna be looking at $20K importing one from Japan. Chasers really haven't dropped much in price over there.

The motor is sensational obviously, I'd take one in a heartbeat over an RB25, sorry guys. I felt more comfortable in my 34 than my Chaser though, and while the trim in the 100s is nicer quality, the style of the fabric is awful in the series 1s at least. I've seen R34s in Japan running 1Js, which would be my ideal combo I reckon..

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
