all i can say is Chaser FTMFW!!! ive driven one daily since july last year and there is no other car on the planet that i want or would take over the Chaser.. seriously!!

interior is a little lame, nothing that some new seats or even some car seat covers wont fix. the carbon fibre trim is real carbon fibre.

performance is excellent. ive got roughly 210rwkw with an fmic, EBC and powerFC. the engine is so smooth and has max torque by 3k rpm which is just awesome for daily driving/around town, you can get up to speed without the need to get on boost = pretty good fuel economy

thay handle pretty damn good from factory (better than the 328i e36 bmw that i used to have) ive got coilovers and swaybars and its on fkn rails. not as good as my friends r32gtst but his car is lighter so its understandable.

rear seats dont fold down which isnt that great but the boot is pretty big anyway

then again, i supose im pretty biased

fyi - the 4WD chaser was only released as a 2 litre non turbo auto. you can get 2j chasers but they are NA

check out www.jzx100.com for more info :D

1480kgs dry. my car is registered at 1520kgs, it was weighted with a full size spare, big sound system and a full tank of petrol

with me in it its 1660kgs (yes i weigh 140kgs) so its a bit heavier than my friends r32 gtst at 1380kgs

my bro got one recently 1996 turbo, auto model, all i can say is its a good car comparing it to a skyline like a r33 of the same year its alot better, 4 airbags, xennon lights, more leg room in rear. make more power stock 206 kw, more torque than a r34! comparing it to my r34 sedan its only a matter of personal preference as feature wise its got more, but the auto would be better if it was tip tronic. feels abit heavier than a skyline thou but for daily driving who cares. ;)

Decent car that requires nothing much to get it going great.

I'll only consider the 1JZ manuals and currently, prices are dropping.

Under 20k will get you a nice example.

Availability of aftermarket parts is great too....with more than a few ppl here selling stuff like coilovers and coolers for the chaser.

I certainly wouldn't mind getting one....lowered on coilovers with some tough rims. But this is IF the gf will let me get one. She's had a bad experience in Japan involving one (long story) :P

I have been considering one also.

But 90% of them are autos. Starting to research if its worth converting them to manual. I also heard from someone thats its as easy as putting in a manual ecu and excepting everything to work.

Anyone converted an auto to manual?

    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
