  • A few years ago I drove a - shall we say - "well used" JZX100 Toyota Chaser. Today I'm back in the hot zone to see what Toyota's famous 1JZ driftmobile is all about.

    They’re an awesome car but too expensive to run these days as a daily imo, mine would easily drink 18L/100km around town, so I swapped it for a DC2 R. The 1JZ is a masterpiece, but the R154 box is agricultural and they’re ever so slightly boaty. Arcing up 255’s in 3rd with ease is a lot of fun though.
    Have you driven an E39 M5? I’d be interested in your thoughts vs the JZX.

      Goodness yeah an old turbo car isn't gonna spell great economy but I didn't think it would be that bad! And yet got a DC2R review coming soon, and I'd love to do an E39 M5 review but don't know anyone with one

    I like ye old chaser, wish I had bought one when I had the chance 4 years ago, that one had a non-turbo 2jz but oh well, I just wonder what insurance costs would be on these cars now for like agreed value and I would be terrified to leave it anywhere because it has a massive bullseye painted on it for thieves. I am becoming old and conservative these days... 🙄 It is a shame prices have gone crazy and I don't think it will get any better as they become more thrashed, destroyed and more rare.

    They are starting to dip a little in value now in Australia. I suspect the gap in what people are advertising them for and what they are selling for is starting to widen. They are not as highly regarded as the 'true' JDM 90's hero's that the R32 GTR, Supra, FD RX7 represent.

    You lost me at Automatic, Kiwi. A mate of mine had one of these years back in manual, tuned up a bit too. I thought it went really well for the price but I wouldn’t pay even half of what people are asking for them these days. Seems like a jack of all trades, master of none to me. Unless of course you’re chasing really big power and side ways action.
