View Full Version : My JZX100 Chaser, From Cruiser to Drifter
PICTURE HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is my 97 JZX100 Chaser. I've had it since Sept 08, and have gone through a clutch, a rear tie rod, 2 bumpers, 30 back tyres, a trackday, a drift practice, diffing, a burn across England every Topaz in Ireland, and only 3 months tax. :D
I bought the car to ferry my son around in, but it's slowly getting away from that role, and is becoming just a car to have fun in, and to try and drift. Was in WGH recently and fell in love with track drifting. Nutts this week is a possibility.

5 speed manual gearbox.

ah its fixed yeah just waiting on a new windscreen, been ringing glass replacement companies all last week an none of them have come back to me yet.... :(
back on topic
you still looking to get rid of her greg?
how many pieces is this bumper in now?? :P
savage car greg!great to see it sideways!:cool:
savage car! changes looks like a change my boxers! haha.
hooray for my old s13 and my cef being in those pics! :D
Cheers fellas. It's been through a tough time, and things aren't gonna get any better. lol Weighing up the pros and cons of bringing it to Nutts the weekend. The lack of wheels, money, and bodywork is holding me back, for some reason. :)
gregu gregu gregu..........ya already know how much i love stacey.
dont sell her:(
I know S13 Crashu, but we'll see. I'm bored of it now, believe it or not.
Anybody want to tell me how much my car is worth now? It's missing a front bumper, and needs a lil tidying.
Right so : Update time again.
Went to WGH ages ago - Did this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuJvDXO_2a0
Then stuck the car in a ditch, and mashed the bumper, so took it off the road.
While it was off the road, I went to Tullow - Did this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30oMAL476kI
After Tullow and all my spins and general shiteness, I realised that the drivers side TRD coilover was actually blown and was bouncier than a fat person on a trampoline, inside a bouncy castle, so that had to be changed. Luckily I had two Tein coilovers sitting in the press, so they were fitted one day when it wasn't raining. :)
Trd's in blue, and Teins in green. There's a fair size difference between the two, but the Teins seem to have more adjustability for height anyways. :)
http://i27.tinypic.com/15wyro9.jpg
I then adjusted the handbrake which was quite easily done.
http://i26.tinypic.com/mtvvie.jpg
Now that they are fitted, the car is actually nice to drive again and isn't trying to throw me into a ditch every time it hits a bump, and is nice and settled on the road. I'll bring it down to Tullow again soon and see if the shocks improve my driving, or if I am in fact really just shit. :D
Then we had the rolling road day. The car made 295bhp, and 306 ft/lbs which was good enough considering the car needs a service, and was boosting a little lower than normal.

http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu5/Kruizer_666/ADC%20HQ%20RR%20Day/Greg2.jpg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhRCg6vFU9U
Then the time came to get the car back on the road, so I purchased a new bumper, attacked it with a jigsaw, and snips, and absolutely made a balls of fitting it. The main thing is that it's on the car, and I can tidy it up at some stage this week.
http://i31.tinypic.com/10dux50.jpg
http://i30.tinypic.com/2hwffic.jpg
Oh, and my turbo is now making that lovely death whistle, so it's time to try sell everything I have and get a bigger one instead. :)
good to see ahe is back on the road greg, you should have joined us up in nutts yesterday
I would have, but money is tighter than a nuns chuff this weather.
Had the car out on my private test track tonight, and tried to have fun. There is shocking amounts of understeer happening, and i'm a bit rusty so lots of manfoot resulted in near spins. Must try harder or sort out my tyre pressures.
jesus me man you go thru more bumpers than i go thru petrol lol.... hard to believe my old car is now gettin such hard life ha ha ha
hard to believe my old car is now gettin such hard life ha ha ha
it just being driven like it should have been all these years, pussy:D:D:D
@ Bubba - I know man, it's a joke like. It's only the poxy rain and floods that are killing them though, so that's a good sign. :)
@ Ste - Now, now. Don't be calling lads bigger than you a pussy. Let the small man syndrome go for one day like. :)
Gave the car 2 coats of polish, and two coats of wax over the last two days. It came up well. :)

I'd love to say i've been out drifting every night, and basically being a superhero, but I haven't. I'm a lifestyler me.
nice shine off her greg:cool:,i WILL own of these in the very near future!!
Unfortunately all it's doing is shining. It needs a drift day to stretch it's legs properly. Bypass runs don't count. :)
I can heartily recommend one. They are a good car. :D They also sound the tits when driven on. :)
Im going to be hard moved from my s-bodys but after been in Chubby McCords 400bhp JZX100 mark2 all that changed!!It was like a gsi3000 on cocaine!!:D:D
And here's me going mad to have a go in an S-body to see how I get on. Weird, huh? Ste, your car doesn't count. haha
JZX100's are something else though. That's why everybody is mad for one now. :)
ok we swap for a month then see if mine counts:D:D

Iv bought,sold,repaired,broke,drifted and trackdayed s13,rps13,s14 and s15 and everytime Im asked which one I always go for the 180sx(rps13).Just the weight destribution and handling I love plus no noisey rattly vvt(bent cam)sr20 like in 14/15.That said the 15 does handle nice also. . . .descisions descisions:D
Im sure you will find an s-chassis to suit you:p
I've driven a ca1b 200sx, and it was ok. Just diffed it mind. I'd be quite partial to an old S15, and don't know why. Although S14's low and liud catch my attention too. What to do? Keep the Chaser. :D

ca18??!!!no way,like day and night in comparison to an SR.
Do like me,get a s-chassis for drift/track and chaser for the road/pimping(thats the plan anyways)!:D
Although dont go to the extreme strip and build like I did,it will rob of you of all your time money and sanity!!:D

Brought it to Mondello for the MNC trackday on Monday....
This is how the day went...
Up on a jack...
http://i25.tinypic.com/20b1fl4.jpg
Found a cracked brake disc.
http://i26.tinypic.com/24yvamx.jpg
Did four laps, made two tyres delaminate, and then drove home at the end of the day waiting for the hub to explode and to end up in a ditch. That didn't happen luckily enough.
A few more lifestyler pics....

That was you asking what fell off when I drove down the straight. haha
Ya, I have two ordered and they should be in Friday. Where would be without our pal Dave? :D I'll be trying to fit them in the garage Friday evening. You can make the tea. :)
Went to Goldstone today and had a bit of a play. Had no handbrake though which is kind of essential down there.
Here's a couple of videos. Thanks Keli for filming them. :)

Got tyres on the Volks yesterday. Thank you Johnny P, so i'm a happy chappy now. Also put the spoiler back on a while ago and like it now. Although the car needs slamming again before it's anyway interesting looking.

The car has been spending most of it's driving life in Waterford these days. Loads of fun down there on wet nights. :D
spacers and low, go go go! was it always that high?
Nope. I just raised it up after I got sick of hearing the skirts cracking every time I tackled a speed bump and seeing how much of the front bumper had been shaved off in the space of a month. It looks gay now though and is annoying me.

I haven't a clue, but if you drive like a granny you'd be very suprised at how economical they can be. SR20's drink way more go go juice than 1jz's.

I think thats about 25k's?? Id say less than that to be honest, best part of a fiver to go one way to work and i thought that was only bout 20k's. Nearly cheaper getting a taxi haha
Fuck knows, I put in a tank, or 60 quid and that will do me for work (blanchardstown - Airport approx and return X 5) and local driving. In the Stream ill get about 3 weeks out of a tank!!
car looks well as always greg :D,:D
regards petrol i think the 100 are great on it,and i hav a heavy foot like , i went from cork to mondello on about 20 to 30 euro and that was over 120km a hour a lot of the way ,my tezza turbo would hav went throug a lot more
Ya mine was mapped by Robbie to run on normal pump fuel. I can get from Arklow to Waterford and back, and around town a few times, for €20, if I take it handy. Like i've put €40 in the car since Sunday and i've been to Waterford, done some streeto and lots of overtaking, been down to Tramore, around Waterford city, back to Arklow, bombed around town a few times and there's still some of the €40 left in it.
The tyres I got don't hold air so the cheapness didn't pay off this time. Gay!!!!

Fuck!! :( I went from Dublin to Newry return (basically from the airport) and it was a good €50. But im getting more convinced i've a leaky injector so that mightn't help :D
Greg, how much for the map and did you need anything like a PFC?
I got a PFC off Dave in Japanese Perfromance for €600, and the map was €580 including new plugs. Those prices are guestimations at this stage. :) Robbie looked afer me though when a setting was changed on the PFC and the car was running like a bag of shite. He took the car back and ran it for half a day on the dyno to sort it, and didn't charge me anoher cent. :)
The commander with the PFC is handy to have because I can get petrol in different garages and watch the Knock reading to see how good or bad it is, and now know where to get good petrol which helps with the MPG.

Are the PFC and commanders not model specific, i.e. for mine would be as common as rocking horse shite?
Ya they are model specific alright. Maybe Dave in Japanese Performance could find you one???? I threw €50 petrol into the car Saturday and have done 200 hard driving miles and there's still a quarter tank left, so she's good enough on the go go juice. :)
Here's my Polish stunt driver friend Gregovski driving the car hard today. Shame on him.

Fuckin hell!! Although i pulled the plugs at ther weekend and one of them was drenched in petrol, so i must have an iffy injector. And my fuel pump is knackered too! yay
I ended up getting something like 250 miles for €50 of go go juice. Not too bad really.
Anyways.....
Did some bodywork today and during the week..

nice and sleek once again!!
Sort off. It didn't actually turn out all that bad considering it was sprayed at night in my yard, and had to be sprayed green, then black had to be lightly sprayed over it for it to match the car somewhat, and it looks ok from about 17 miles away. haha

http://i45.tinypic.com/oi6iyq.jpg
Got some fwd spec 18's to have for spare drift wheels off Keli for Christmas and my birthday. Got all excited when I saw the wheels and then nearly did a little wee when I saw how much thread was left on the Federal 595's that were on two of the wheels. :D
http://i49.tinypic.com/23lnjpl.jpg
http://i49.tinypic.com/1zggmyq.jpg
FWD Spec beside RWD Spec. :D
http://i47.tinypic.com/ajox7n.jpg
Now one of the wheels had been hopped off a kerb at one point so that needs a good few slaps of a plastic mallet. They don't look that bad on the car though and I reckon if I got fairly man spec spacers they'd look pretty cool on it.

ah uve ruined your kids work haha
nah man, looks good, i sprayed my front bumper on a civic a had before, there's no better feeling than doin it yourself:)
Ah I had to spray the bumper. It's way too noticeable and like a red rag to a bull with the cops. Especially after last weeks shenanigans with the feckers. My little man actually is delighted I sprayed the bumper, surprisingly enough. haha
I'll give the Volks a good clean up and refurb while they are off the car. I might even paint them.... what colour though? :)
leave them original color i guess ;-)
Dont paint them greg,Just polish the lip yourself man ,Start with 500 sand paper and work your way to 2000 wet.They'll come up like new,Lovely wheel.

Gonna attempt to polish them tomorrow. :)
Went to the beach today to walk the dogs and managed to crack the bumper off a bit of sand of all things. :mad: So that had to be stitched..
http://i50.tinypic.com/21ocvv9.jpg
While I was doing that I got the missus to throw the 10j Volks on the front of the car to see how they looked...

I think they look ok on the front. They are 17x10 ET +31 with a 5mm spacer. With a bigger spacer and the car lowered again it would look amazing. I'm now having thoughts of finding a pair in 18x10 for the back though. Hmmm :D
Did some hard parking today with my mate's Supra(which is for sale). MY car is going into the bodyshop Monday and getting tarted up and sold on. Probably for 8k, maybe more. This is basically how it'll look when put up for sale... You'll just have to imagine the fixed bumper and it having 40mm spacers on the front and 5mm on the back. :D
http://i39.tinypic.com/mjnxwp.jpg
http://i43.tinypic.com/24d3b5h.jpg
Because i'm sick of it being an expensive ornament just sitting on my driveway. I could have a cheap daily and something else to mess in if I sold it. Although if I get a job I might keep it. :)
Ive only thought about this now....wtf did you sell the wheels for? would make it so much easier to sell on the volks?
boo for selling the car!

26-04-10, 11:32
x2 boo greg!!unless you convert to nissan:D
Needed money to get the bodywork sorted. The wheels that are on it now are only fit for drifting on really. Although they don't look too bad with spacers behind them.
Just ordered locking collars for the subframe so that's that job done. Ordered three sets so if they sort out my back end i'll sell them on and get the cost of postage back. :D
Your selling ah now if only i was staying around id take it off you hands without it giong spray shop and wheels (sorry :( not a fan)
Not a fan of the wheels myself, but needs must. It rarely gets driven these days so I don't have to look at the wheels too much. :)
Car looks beastly as always! Shame your sellin her
Got a nice surprise today and received subframe and diff collars in the post all the way from Australia. Bought from Damo at Katsutadai works. Very helpful chap to deal with and fast delivery too. :D
http://i39.tinypic.com/kb61sl.jpg
Must get them fitted asap and see if they cure the cars wobbly back end. If they do, I have two more sets here so will be selling them to whichever JZX head wants them. :)

hopefully will still work for you though.
I have my doubts but apparently they work well. May give Dave a shout and get him to throw them in asap. :)
Pow!!!! Work in progress. :D
http://i41.tinypic.com/4ln0ur.jpg
Would those lockin collars fit a jzx90 chassis ???
Would those lockin collars fit a jzx90 chassis ???
They will. Once I get them fitted I'll tell you if they're shite or not. :)
Finished another wheel, then the wind came and I'm spraying in the front yard so had to give up. Also I'm nearly out of paint and there isn't a B&Q within 40 miles of me. :(

that the plastikote metal care paint your using?
its a savage colour. used it on the wheels of my octavia for a while.
it's tough stuff, but goes a kinda browny/purple color with the brake dust and shite on them.
but cleans up mint again.

cool lookin red greg...the wheels look alot better than they did before
It's Plastikote stuff alright Alan. Metallic red. :)
@ Dara - ANything is an improvement with those wheels. I got the grinder out and trimmed the arches so I can fit the spacers on the front. But I read somewhere that if the spacer can jiggle about before you tighten the nuts, then it's not safe??

Got the Katsutadi works subframe pineapples fitted today. They haven't completely locked the subframe, but they have stopped the car's wandering handling and the subframe no longer clatters off the bottom of the car when the clutch is dumped. Happy days.

I haven't a clue what to ask for it to be honest. Have another lad asking me to name my price at the moment and I can't come up with one.
Also it now doubles as a van so it must be worth more than a normal Chaser. :D

Got some bad news regarding the job I went for recently and am having some personal trouble so might have to finally sell this if things don't pick up in a week or so. I haven't a clue what to ask for it, but if anybody wants to pm me an offer I'll consider it.

A guy came up to me in Punchestown really wanting to buy my car. He was kind of set on an 81 but there are none for sale. Although Raff said he might consider selling his so i sent him in Raffs direction. I have his number, ill pm it to you if you want to give him a shout maybe he might be interested... Worth a shot!
I'd say if his heart is set on an 81 he'd have no interest in a 100. All's not lost yet anyways so I would panic just yet.

He was more set on a 1J i think. But if it looks a bit better then cool so!

Priorities in the right order ;) Hopefully it'll work out so you can have both thou...
Just a boring update with no pictures. Now that I have a job I can finally fix up the two years worth of hard driving wear and tear.
Doing the last Port Laoise day highlighted a few problems that need sorting out. These include too soft suspension, a need for a proper seat and hydro, and a need for a new subframe.
So far I've managed to purchase a subframe and Keli bought me a nice dished steering wheel for Christmas. Im waiting on word about a seat and harness, and stiffer coilovers. Once I get those bought and fitted it will be back to attending practice days and having fun.
Im not overly bothered with fixing up the bodykit because it's only going to get smashed up again. Although I will definitely be getting a decent set of wheels to sort of make the car look a bit better.
Thats it. Being stuck at home with the snow lead to boredom and this update. :D
love this motor and fair balls for bringing it out on
track driving her hard despite being a road car!
Sure the new mods will make a hell of a difference! full track maybe in the future?
Looking forward to see where this will go :D

they look this shit on the front dude..... now get some more dishys for the rear and its a win win...............
i actually like them on the back
Cheers lads. Hopefully the overtime keeps up in work and new shit can be bought sooner. :)
Mr Balls... I'll have a look at them now. Cheers. :)
Ste, They look good on the back alright but I'm gonna try go for mad dish and flared arches. It's an over done look, but I reckon it'll suit the car. Takes the eyes away from the tatty bodykit. I'd go the flat black way you're going if the car was black. :)
ye well i think the flat black would look cool, dark bronze would work well with green too
It'll definitely look cool on your car, hurry up and get it done. :D If I could find a set of chrome and gold Gt-n's in 18's with a good offset I'd snap them up.
there is not a set of the wheels i want available anywhere in europe at the min thats no joke.. should be available again this week i hope. the car hasn moved in 6 weeks i have d cash here waiting to go
That's always the way though, nothing is available when you can't afford it, and everything is when you can't. My car gets fuck all driving these days, God bless runarounds.
Right, so I think I might have gotten a bit of a billy bargain with the wheels, because they are Lowenhart and quite rare and expensive in Japan. Which is a good and bad thing, because it now means getting two more in good sizes is going to work out rather expensive. Back to the drawing board or something.

Give you more space? Can't do man sorry :( But get those wheels if he still has them man, or I will and you'll forever be annoyed at the possibility that they could have been sitting on yours!
Alright, God loves a trier. :)

Loud enough Kev, not too gone on the tone though because it's not quite screamy enough. May take out the middle box or something.
On another note, I moved the seat back further on the rails and it's a lot more comfortable now. Must actually get pictures and stuff.
Picked up two SSR Koenigs today, threw them on the front and the Lowenharts on the back to see how the car looked. The Lowenharts will b up for sale soon and I'll be getting two more Koenigs to replace them. :)

they do! your man i got them off pmd me today realising they were worth money haha! and as far as i can work out, he threw the other 2 out!
looks good..... GO FOR IT!!
@ Pete - Ya, they're worth quite a lot, so getting two more isn't an option really, because they are Koenig money. Your man must be some boy. lol
@ Dave - Might do. Must break out the sandpaper and rattle cans. :D
ya dey look right well greg .. the brighter gold looks alot better , maybe spray all four same brightish gold would look pure savage :):)
Could be a plan. Well, after I get a hydro and the new subframe in I'll look into getting them powder coated. Unless Plasti-kote do a gold spray???

Just got word that the replacement rear subframe has been picked up in England and will be here Wednesday, so get that fitted and the car will be a minter mechanically once again.

The bushes look fresh, and best of all it's straight and ready to be welded up for added strength. Locking collars are being looked for, and there's a heap of different braces and shit available in Japan, so my keep at the overtime in work and then the car will eventually be a lot more tight and drifty. :D
Ordered a KTS arb for the front and locking collars for the subframe about an hour ago, hopefully they arrive in time for the competition. It's looking like I won't have a hydro for the comp because I need to keep money to fix up what the car fails the Nct on, and the test is next week.
Will having a different colour bumper fail the Nct??
Please say thats not a serious question?
haha , no it wont.. much for the arb greg , where u order from ?
I don't get cars tested usually so haven't a clue. I'll pm you niall.

Charming!!! Back in the kitchen, wench!
Earlier tonight, I brought the car for it's first hard drive since I got the wheels, seat, exhaust fitted, and removed the rear seats, which highlighted a couple of issues that will have to be sorted before Port Laoise in two weeks.
The passenger side rear wheel is scrubbing on the inside of the arch during hard cornering and the exhaust is hitting the ground when the car is squatting under full throttle. You can hear the exhaust hopping off the ground when I do a manji near the end of this video..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7otmn2k7ag
So, my options are either raise the car or get stiffer shocks. Fuck raising it! :)

If you have coilovers maybe your spring preload is too low. Sounds sweet!
There's not really any space, but Gem is having a look at it Wednesday and seeing what he can do.
The coilovers are as low as they can go which won't be helping, plus they are pretty soft and only fit for hard parking. And...... the collars have seized on them so I can't raise it back up. Carpo has a set of Cusco's there, but I'm broke as fuck this week, and next week, and the week after, so I can't buy them.
Quick update before I hit the sack...
Gem sorted out the coilovers and raised the car which sorted out the exhaust hitting the ground, he also put the cat in for the NCT which the car promptly failed. :D It only failed on a couple of minor things though which should be sorted soon.
What else... Got a bumper, sprayed and fitted it in my front yard, it turned out ok and will do until after Port Laoise.
Picked up a sliding rail off Copeyhagen, as well as Ganador mirrors and seventy billion wheel nuts. Cheers Rob. :)
Then this evening the KTS arb and locking collars arrived, but they may stay in the box because I don't have any time to get them fitted before Port Laoise. Thanks to Tom from Titan for sorting me out with those quickly and cheaply. :)
Anyhow, pictures...

Definitely not minted anyway. :) The only bits of the car that aren't mint are the side skirts, front arches and back bumper, and the dirt on it. :D
Anyhow, I'm not a fan of posing and parking, but if that's what a person is into, then fair play. What's the point in having a big power rwd car and not using it? I like drifting, the car has been drifted on every track in the Republic(are Punchestown and Citywest classed as tracks because it hasn't been on them), drifting is hard on cars, cars can be fixed, life goes on.

Cheers Niall. It's not going to be just a track car though, it'll have NCT, a tax disc(out of date), and be used for commuting to work.

They're on the car and ill get them sprayed at some stage.
Right...... Got the ARB and locking collars fitted today thanks to Diff06(Dave) and they have made quite a good difference to how the car drives as it actually feels quite responsive and light footed now.
And...... Got this on my way home from work..

Posh drifter with your posh NCT cert! Congrats!
Won't be posh for long. :D
Right so....... PortLaoise Weekender Update.. Bit of a long moany one.
Saturday Practice...
Sataurday went pretty well. Went out for the first session with the 18x9.5's on and once I found out that the handbrake actually worked I was getting some pretty good runs in with what felt like pretty awesome flicked entries. :) It was first time ever drifting using a handbrake and it was amazing. It made it possible to drive the car so much harder and throw it around like a good 'un. Also the KTS ARB and locking collars were worth their weight in gold, making the car was a pleasure to throw about.
Went out for the second session with the 18x7.5's on running 50psi and had no grip whatsoever for the first few runs which resulted in lots of spins. So I let out a heap of air and got some good runs in against Geordie and Newsome. Geordies car sounds amazing chasing you down and actually made me drive like a demon. :)
Managed to headbutt a cone with the car and break the new bumper which was kind of upsetting but shit happens as they say.
Then came the third session where I put the 18x9.5's on and had some pretty bad runs where the car was bogging down and generally not wanting to drive. On one lap it took six clutch kicks to get it around the course so I decided to call it a day and head back to the hotel for some beers and dinner.
Sunday Practice and Competition...
Woke up Sunday feeling pretty confident that I'd do well enough to do myself proud so set off to the track with a whopper hangover and a belly full of dodgy hotel breakfast.
Got to the track and was driving the car up onto the ramps to change the wheels when myself and Derek noticed the car making a strange noise which was worrying. Derek did a bit of investigating and found a €2 size hole in one of the intercooler pipes.
So after a bit of running around, suggestions from people, and help from Derek, Kav, Japman, and Gem we got the hole covered and the car was rearing to go. As it turns out I reckon I've been running with a boost leak for the best part of a year and the car is a different animal altogether. :D
Anyhow went out for a practice run, flat out up to the first turn, gave the car a flick and yanked the handbrake and....... nothing happened. The handbrake decided it didn't want to work anymore. :( So spent the practice farting about trying shit and getting nowhere.
Then on the last run the handbrake decided to work again so I thought happy days for the comp. :)
Made it into the amateurs for the comp(unsurprisingly), lined up for the start and then did the runs which were terrible. The handbrake stopped working again and I generally drove the car like I stole it, spun in both runs, and nearly drove straight out the gate to go home. Only for I had to bring Keli home I wouldn't have stopped.
So, Saturday was cool, the session was cool, and Sunday was a nightmare. :( Ordering a hydro on Thursday so once that is in I'll rule the world. :D
I'd just like to say a big thanks to Bart and the PortLaoise crew for a whopper weekend, bigger thanks to the Wicklow crew for the banter, advice, and helping hands, and an even bigger than that thanks to Gem and Diff06 for fitting bits to the car and not charging me an arm and a leg.
Some pictures and videos....
