Should you buy the JZX100 Chaser? 1 year ownership review, mods and track performance!

Wipers are an easy fix. Turn them on, when they're in the vertical position, turn them off. Now you can stand them up and away from the windscreen. 👍

[@onstreetgarage]

Haha that bloody simple! Thanks 😂

Hi, greeting from Moscow. In our country these model were very popular in 90's. The advice from the owners of such cars. It is necessary to install spacers under the hood, under the front arches, on the rear cups, in the trunk and preferably on the tunnel in the cabin. The car is 20+ years old. So the body will live longer, otherwise cracks will appear.

[@onstreetgarage]

Hi! That’s very interesting I haven’t heard of this. Do you have a link to show someone doing this? I would be interested to do this

[@XxmuncsterxX]

@@onstreetgarageever figure out what he meant by this?

[@onstreetgarage]

Hey mate I think so, it looks like they space the back of the bonnet up by 25mm. Something like this link store.partsshopmax.com/universal/HoodVent/HVSKB.html

[@XxmuncsterxX]

Interesting. I wonder how this helps the "body live longer". Maybe something was lost in translation @@onstreetgarage

[@onstreetgarage]

I can only assume it’s lost in translation. Maybe they’re referring to the engine?

[@asynixhd905]

Good to see a fellow Aussie.. plan on importin a white manual.. good to know they’re worth it from what everyone is saying and sleeper.. don’t attract attention

[@Tony-tk4ht]

i plan on getting one. these things are so timeless and cool

[@onstreetgarage]

I’ve owned a few Jap cars in my time and nothing has really felt as good a fit as the jzx. I think they’re only getting better with age

[@philfajou3255]

Nice to know I'm not the only one in Sydney who owns a chaser jzx100 and an na mx5 👍

[@onstreetgarage]

So I’m not the only one with impeccable taste 👌👌

[@israelnkhuwa3488]

It's a good, cool car, pretty solid. If you give it good maintenance, it will last forever. I own a Series 1 Tourer S 1JZ-GE VVT-i though not as powerful as the 1JZ-GTE. But I love it and I enjoy driving it.

[@onstreetgarage]

Thanks mate! They’re awesome cars not just for power. I think they look awesome too!

[@warraichlabs5154]

Gorgeous car ❤

[@onstreetgarage]

Thanks mate!

[@TheSocialPraxis]

Some Japanese people consider the slang word "Jap" a derogatory word, just an FYI. Great Chaser BTW, love mine too 🤙🏽.

[@onstreetgarage]

Tha me for letting me know, will definitely keep that in mind moving forward. Thanks! They’re awesome cars

[@TheSocialPraxis]

@onstreetgarage no problem, I just learned that last year from reading remarks on an importers page. Anywho, again great car man.👍🏽

[@JZXMikey]

With the beeping noise in reverse, you have to remove the tacho and there’s a little thingo on the back of it

[@onstreetgarage]

You’re a legend mate thanks. Will definitely sort that out 😂

[@JZXMikey]

@@onstreetgaragei apologise that i can’t be more specific about the thingo but yeah 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@onstreetgarage]

@@JZXMikey haha that’s all good, the fact I know where to start is 80% of the battle

[@KC-wt2xs]

Nice update. Can’t wait to see some more progress. What did it do the quarter mile in the first time you took it out? All good just saw the video!

[@onstreetgarage]

Thanks mate! 14.1 from memory. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a 13 of some sort before I start on power mods. We’ll see what we can do Wednesday 👍🏼

[@KC-wt2xs]

Keen to see the drags on good tyres. Have you considered fitting a boost controller and doing a run on stock boost and then on about 12-13psi? The 1J stock will take it no problem 😊

[@onstreetgarage]

Yep, it’s definitely on the list. I want to get a front mount too. It’s a bit of stuffing around but I want to test and evaluate mods individually to see what makes real world differences. Will be running it again once the manual is in then add and test dump pipe, boost intercooler as we go

[@craigparker4108]

It's good that you don't get targeted by police. I have to say again how good the front end of the 105 looks, unreal.

[@onstreetgarage]

Thanks mate, so keen to get the new colour on it, I really think it’ll set it off.

[@03greedoslime87]

Can you send me the decal?I just gotta jzx90

[@onstreetgarage]

Yessir. Message me on either Instagram or Facebook and we’ll get it sorted! 👌
