1JZ Toyota Chaser Takes on an RB25 Nissan Laurel | Drift Sedan Battle!

Join Dollar Shave Club! ► dollarshaveclu...
Hey guys! We got our hands two of the most desirable JDM drift sedans and today it's time to see which is the better platform to import. Under the hood of the Nissan Laurel is the RB25DET and powering the Toyota Chaser is the infamous 1JZ-GTE, both very stout power plants and both ready to make your drifting street dreams a reality. Both 2.5L, turbocharged engines have a lot going for them, but as we all know, no car is perfect. Enjoy!

Typically not a huge Toyota fan, but I love the way that Chaser looks and sits.... Great content as usual!

[@campkira]

Look like old m5. Wait a min......

[@AustinMBecker]

@@campkira I definitely don't think it looks like an E39, they are pretty awesome...However the back end kinda looks like an early 00's Acura TL.

I never imagine such a comparison, this is proper video thanks

I’m from Australia and we’ve had rb’s since 86 (rb30) and j series since 1990. Your review was about two different cars not engines, the difference only becomes apparent in big hp setups. We are at the forefront of this. Fast J’s and 32 gtr’s full interior, a/c, running 7 second 1/4, street cars. There is so much more to this story and many differences to these engines and a lot of development that North America doesn’t know about.

[@Dacommenta]

So true

[@smac919]

.. I mean I get what youre saying.. but.. The title is ' Toyota Chaser v Nissan Laurel ' .. they just happen to have a 1J and an RB. It is supposed to be about the cars.. not their engines.

Big dawg take my comment XD

[@rewindevocojp5439]

1jz and rb25 powered cars all everywhere here in Okinawa

[@layzorbeeemz7317]

It should be mentioned the c35 laurel has a shorter final drive (4.30) because it came auto from factory and was geared to suit that auto trans. With a 5speed swap in the laurel in 5th gear around 3000rpm you're going 100kph(60mph). So the gearing is great for acceleration, not top speed. Also how much more affordable the laurel is cause the rwd models have s14/s15 suspension (huge aftermarket in comparison to the toyota) and the drivetrain is the same as a r34. Also Oem nissan parts are far cheaper and easier to obtain than toyota.

[@sircefiro]

4.3 was earlier models, c35 club s 2.5 is uaually 4.08

[@koheitanaka9396]

Was expecting a drift battle 🙄

[@PEREVOZKA_ID]

Not only Supra was powered with 2jz-gte, but also Toyota ARISTO (4 door sedan)was with 2jz-gte. And that car is sickkk

1jz alllllll day buddy. Im partial, having my own Chaser, but fot me it came down to reliability. I was literally talked out of buying a gtt r33/r34 by roughly owners.🤷🏽‍♂️ So 1jz tank alllll day 💪🏽.

[@zionjoseph3710]

We have a lot of Laurels (C32-C35) and Cefiro A31 in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 In terms of Chasers, there are more jzx90's than 100 but we're spoiled for choice on the older Cressidas such as RX30, RX70 etc Prime JDM cars that are exclusive to certain countries 👌🏼

could not have said it better brother i have a cressida rx70

[@bleuxelvin8637]

Always loved jzx / chasers but that laurel tho 👌👌👌

[@KAWTELENUH]

that hanging can be fixed. its more than likely a vacuum leak. my swapped is300 had the same issue.

[@SpiceLine]

Could have simply compared the R34 Skyline Sedan, comes stock RB25det and manual? Do love the look of the Laurel though. All round love them all. I do think the Chaser looks better, but I do love the RB engines. Even with all their flaws.

[@lleesmaa]

Good important info on the rev hang for a drivers car, came to me as a surprise. As the automatic cars don't seem to have it as the manuals for emission, you could win converting a chaser automatics i guess (or just get a new ECU). Laurel wins in this but might suffer under the higher powerband because it had the ECU tuned for the automatic and to save the gearbox from higher torque stress. The automatic Chasers could have this too soo that's a thing to consider when buying for a cheaper price to convert.

[@singleturbodave5634]

Factory Carbon fiber peices in the jzx100 chaser.. not fake lol

[@mikenice1204]

You said r154 with the rb25. That cant be right.

[@SpeedStik]

I noticed that as well. R154 is in the Chaser.

[@taylorsukoshi6126]

and said the gearing was different in the two cars...

[@ront5689]

🔥🔥🔥 sick shit...I'd probably take the Laurel but both good.

[@SpeedStik]

I'm also gonna have to say there's a slight issue with the Chaser regarding the Rev hang. My completely factory 97 Jzx100 with an original R154(non swapped) has no Rev hang at all. Maybe this Chaser was an auto>5spd swap or like others mentioned a vacuum leak.

[@MelloKingMal05]

The Chaser sounds awesome! This Laurel is a bit of a letdown soundwise

[@christianramos888]

1jz all the way up!!!! that laurel is nice too

[@mattvaughan180]

With the revs staying up on the chaser I would say it’s sucking in air somewhere,1jz vs rb25 there is no comparison the jz is nearly twice as good as engine as the rb weather its more oil ways to thicker cyclinder walls and metal density the jzx is the engine of choice for tuning. Also the chaser in my opinion looks better I personally hate wood interior trims to old man like where the chaser came with carbon effect. 👍

[@sircefiro]

yeah no 1j vvt's have thrown rods at all

[@nikrbawker]

What's going on here with the is really great. I wish we could have saved all the marketing logos, ads ect. For every model of vehicle including dummy versions of the old build your own from 2001 to now, it's a shame some of that stuff won't be recorded but at least we have informative channels like this.

[@bunkaaa8726]

1jz is not a 'step down', it just 'came first'.. The rb25 is kinda just worse in every way , not only over the 26 but the 1jz as well.

I wish the United States got more Japanese rear wheel drive sedans. I'm so tired of everything under $45k being fwd or at best awd. How does anyone expect to learn to drive properly before getting their first high powered sports car when the only cheap options being fwd econo boxes.

[@campkira]

Most of mine is import JDM. But you can just go for higher price showroom.

[@bryanmckeithen899]

@@campkira I'm talking about the difficulty to find a good, reliable, rwd sedan in the USA for around 30k new, or the price of a camry/accord/altima/fusiom/malibu. Doesn't need to be powerful, just rwd with a fun transmission and a solid motor that preferably revs.

[@PokeysMechanical]

Awesome video, love the JZ, im a big fan of my 2jz

[@TaranRamjit]

I don't think that RB25DET Neo is setup properly, very large intercooler long piping will cause that torque and boost to come in much later.

An older non vvti 1jz would be a much better comparison. Full torque at 2400rpm is a world of a difference vs 4800rpm.

I own one and that's not true, they're pretty lethargic in the low rpms especially twin turbo models

@@Yabas00 that's what I meant. The vvti single turbo 97+ 1jz has torque at the low end the older non vvti twin turbo 1jz is pretty gutless until your up in the rpms.
