Pics of my JZX100 [huge pics 56K warning]

[dojobi]

Hi guys,

I know it's not a Skyline, but I know a fair few of you are fans of Chasers, so I thought I'd post up some pics of mine. It's still in Japan atm, but it should be here soon (hopefully).

It's a 99 model, series 2 JZX100 Tourer V.

The engine puts out 206kW @ 6200rpm and 378Nm @ 2400rpm

Series 2 taillights here - they look way better than the S1s imo.

Photoshopped to have a clear blinker (I'll be ordering these pretty much straight away)

I've got more pics (interior etc), but I won't post them unless people want them.

Cheers,

Michael

Looks great Michael.

Slam it and get some nice Japanese deep dish wheels under it and you will have a very nice cruiser

[dojobi]

Yeah I quite like it too

I'd love some deep dish wheels for it, but after buying that I don't think I'll have too much cash left.

I won't be touching the ride height though - my last car had a 400R kit and that was so impractical. This is my "I've turned 25 and need something practical, but don't want to give up the turbo" car

very ***n nice mate !!

i love chasers !!!

[usuckpoo]

Thats beautiful mate...may we ask how much you paid for it?

[dojobi]

Thanks guys.

You can ask, but I'll just say it was a lot of money (for me anyway). The series 2s aren't as cheap as the series 1s.

most prices ive seen are around the 35-40k mark

btw any of u guys check out the chaser in hpi mag #52 (newest one with the r32/4 on the cover?

[dojobi]

Haven't seen it, but I'll be picking it up for sure now. Is it a full article on it?

[Eug]

VIP!!!!! niice car mate... definately not many of the S2 goin around.

[dojobi]

Thanks

I've never seen another series 2 before to be honest. I only know of 1 other JZX100 in Newcastle and it's a series 1.

what happened to the left blinker in the last photo?

[dojobi]

It's not that bad a job is it? That's my photoshopped one. Read just above the pic.

I was just trying to see how it would look without the hideous orange blinkers. I think the clear ones are on the Avante models, so I'll have to get a set of those somehow.

very nice champ, cant wait to see it it cruising around.

MIC33R, Oh my bad...

Question...is it a TRD version? From the badge upfront. Interior looks normal and the TRD version rear wing is?

None the less, nice buy. I was going to buy a Chaser but ended up pouring too much money in mods. Well also I found out Chaser could be imported so I didn't specially have to buy one to send home.

I also used to only like the series 2 lights but after a while the series 1 lights grow on you...they are both good IMO.

Nothing like posting pictures of your very own Toyota on a Nissan forum

Nice man. I have to say I was seriously considering one of these but ended importing my R instead. Very nice, might still end up with one of these in the future.....

Nah it's just a plain version. I'm really not a fan of the TRD wing or front bar to be honest. I'd say the owner just bought a TRD grille (which is different to the TRD model's grille anyway). I actually prefer the meshed stock one anyway, so I'll be looking to swap with someone here unless they put the original one in the boot.

I still like the series 1 lights, but I prefer the S2 ones by far.

What sort of car do you think you'll bring back when you do come home?

A GTR was my other option, but I took the 4 door way. Maybe I'll regret it when I get the car, but I think I made the right decision.
