Yeah, what's even sad is how some people who own them Don't know their capabilities. In my country, they're everywhere. My friend, got one for less than $2,000 with 100k miles on it.
The quality of these videos have really changed for the better! I like how we get to see the illiminate squad teach us about the pros and cons of a car, the change they go through from being a not known small group of friends to being the same group of friends but with better recognition as time passes. I’ve only been a sub for a little while but I can say with no doubt that THIS IS A FUN AND UNIQUE CHANNEL. Well done.👏👏👏 P.S. I can’t help leaving positive comments when the videos are so good.
The X100 chassis had 3 cars built on it, The Mark II, Chaser, and Cresta, The G or JZ before JZX is the engine base while the number after is the chassis code. both the mark 2 and chaser 100's share the same modeling and badging for the most part, including Tourer S and Tourer V models. while the Cresta has different naming its overall the same for each. The GX and Grande models were sold with tan or grey interior while the JZ, Tourer S, Tourer V, and Roulant G (Cresta) models were sold with black interior with carbon trims.
hey randy i just wanna say that i love your videos man im an 18 year old with a 5 month old son and im about to be kicked out and everytime i watch your cars i just smile and laugh and forget about my problems so thank you so much really thank you and i hope i can get my dream car an r32 just like you much love man and keep up the good work
@@illiminate omg this just made my month mann you my brother now we family ima tell you about my day and college every time you make a new video if thats ok :)
With Tourer Vs, on the druver side, use the key to unlock the door but hold it in that position for a few seconds. It unlocks the doors and puts the window down on the driver side. Hold the key to lock and window goes up. Middle cup holder is a option for the car that's getting hard to find. The oscillating A/C vents are only in the Tourer V. 🤙🏾
The middle cup holder is useless. It only holds small cans of Japanese coffee, akin to the Starbuck's expresso double shot. I removed my center cup holder and now it can hold two cans of monster.
YOOOO so glad you guys finally got a jzx100! I'm in New Zealand and we've had these cars for so long! I've had 2 chasers and currently have a Mark II so huge fan of the cars too You guys are right, the Chaser was designed to be more sporty, the mark II in the middle and Cresta as the luxury spec. However, they're all exactly the same interior wise. The differences were generally in the trim between the Tourer V, Grande, Tourer S ETC They did have little extra options though, like sunroof, the woodgrain/carbon fiber trim, some had the TRD package And then on top of that you've got the series 1 and series 2 variants amongst them. Its like a flagship car with so many different options for the Japanese old boys. Nek minnut drifted by dumfuks like us LOL
Loved this style vlog; Wholesome, chill content with the skating and your lil brother and then car stuff. Reminded me of the old vlogs lowkey, awesome video Randy
My jzx100 was involved in a hit and run about a month ago, but I also import cars for a living so I drive rhd every day today I hopped in my truck on the passenger side 😂
The Chaser is such an amazing car and to see it in the right shop with all the boys just makes it that much more amazing 😎🙏🏽 keep it up Randy this is amazing 😊👏
Hi there) Greeting from Moscow. I also own Chaser 100 (2001) but Grande version with 1G-FE engine. But the rest installed from Tourer V. All Brakes, rear subframe, rear stabilizer + silent blocks in the rear levers from supra, car interior like yours ...so on) As far as i know the top version after tourer V was TRD version and so called anniversary versions with black lines interior and black floor and doors. There's TRD catalogue for Chaser. One of the things you might dont know - if you put the key in front doors closed and turn it left or right side and hold it in this position the windows will close and open. Try it. But maybe you already know bout it. Peace!
altezza chasis started in the 98. the USA only got them in the 2000s as the lexus. also nice to see this channel digging more and more into the real jdm
the chaser shares majority front suspension parts on the is300, and same axles. so stock up on them. you can do ls400 front brake swap to get bigger brakes. and as for rear brakes on jzx100 tourerv, they are chassis specific. so can only get them from japan or import from the aussies for some other brand
@@Teahairs rear pads/rotors are jzx90/100 specific. order from japan or aussie has some dba stuff iirc. U can use r32 rear brakes and some other one if u get an adapter. supra rears too but need your handbrake shoes relined properly from a shop
You know how you say you love how Nissan parts are interchangeable with different Nissans. Toyota and a lot of other Japanese car brands did the same thing, especially in the 80s and 90s.
wholesome vid. we know growing up you wanted dope clothes but moms couldn’t afford so you make sure your lil bro don’t have to worry about those things.
There's another feature that you didn't yet find out about. Although it isn't a useful one, but the fact that you have this as a feature is what counts. Try putting your key into the lock barrel of the door while the windows are up. Turn left to the unlock position and hold it for 5 seconds, the window will roll down. Windows roll up if you turn right to the lock position and hold it for 5 seconds.
Couple other fun things that I haven't seen mentioned yet: - S1 cars had dark grey interior and the stripey door cards/seats, and S2 had full black interior with the weird maze patterns. The carbon trims were only available on the Tourer S and V models, everything else got woodgrain EXCEPT the Chaser Tourer V "Special Package" which had grey seats and door trims with no patterns, and dark woodgrain trim instead of carbon - Chaser and Mark II have pillarless doors, whereas Cresta has full framed windows for better sound deadening (luxury things) - The JZX chassis shares a few components with the Altezza/IS300 but its not the same platform. The Altezza platform is almost identical underneath to the later JZX110 Mark II and Verossa, as well as the JZS171 Crowns. Those are completely interchangeable with suspension, brakes, diff etc, and featured the latest version of the 1JZ-GTE VVTI with electronic throttle body etc. Love the video guys! All the way from NZ, where I've also got a built Chaser that I've had almost 5 years 🙌🏻
Another hidden feature 1. put your key in the door 2. Turn your key to unlock the door and hold it there. (The windows will go down) Or lock and widow up
@@liamgilmore9262 they did come out with a 4SFE, but it was very uncommon to see. Technically an SX100 chassis code, and was only a 1.8L. That'll be the only 4cyl option they came out from the factory with. However, Toyota did build a JTCC racecar that featured a highly built 3SGE rather than the 1JZ due to weight savings and regulations I believe
The TRD were dealer optional extras same as the lip kits and optional sport open grill. You could have a trd chaser just by adding the bodykit and badge/stickers or have a full spec'd out: trd bucket seats, trd steering wheel, trd 320kmph speedo, trd 2 way diff, trd billet wheeled turbo, trd catback stainless steel exhaust, trd bracing and the list goes on
Majority of those components could of still been purchased directly through TRD up until recent years. As soon as they discontinued, the parts became desirable and ofcourse the cost sky-rocketed. That's why I don't get the hype with TRD chasers, end of the day majority are still just a tourer v with a non desirable bodykit installed. It seems if anything is worth the money it's the genuine plastic series 2 oem aero front lip
put the key in the driver door and hold it to the left couple seconds and right for couple seconds😘. also push the climate knob and it will tell you the temp outside.
Some of the front seats, at least mine, have adjustable lumbar support! Toyota put a little inflatable bag inside the seats that adjusts the center of seat kind of like a high end office chair!
Hey guys, that's an awesome car. Lovely presentation there. I have a JZX100 Chaser Tourer S Series 1. Even though its an NA, I love ❤ it's a funny to drive it. 🇿🇲
I don't know if your car has this feature but my Jzx100 mark2 can automatically roll the drivers window down when using the key to unlock the door just by holding it in the unlock position.
I wonder if the Japanese knew how overbuilt these 90s cars are, and how iconic/legendary they would Become
I’m pretty sure some of the big body/4 doors they have didn’t know they would be such a huge impact in the car community
They did overbuild them. Check out Japan's gentlemen's agreement. :)
yes they knew what they were doing, theyre not idiots lol
Didn’t they overbuild them so people could make them faster than the government allowed the factories?
Yeah, what's even sad is how some people who own them Don't know their capabilities. In my country, they're everywhere. My friend, got one for less than $2,000 with 100k miles on it.

I loved that you started the video off different today showing more of who you are personally 🙏🏽💙🙆🏽♂️
There’s also a Tourer S which comes with a N/A 1JZ, N/A 2JZ and a 4 Beams engine which is shared with the altezza

Actaully Randy, I did know these 5 things about the JZX100 chaser .. 🤣
I ❤️ the Chaser!

If I when the give away it would be sick to hit a skate sheesh in your area💯 GREAT VIDEO MAN!
I'm definitely getting a jzx100
put the key in the driver door and hold it to the left couple seconds and right for couple seconds😘. also push the climate knob and it will tell you the temp outside.
I love your videos so much 😂 they always make my day ❤️🔥 everything y’all do is so amazing ❤️
Altezza started in 99. But also there was a chaser had an 1JZGE auto with and awd model
Another amazing video keep up the videos and thank you illiminate and I really want a right hand drive car they look so clean !!!

I have a JZX100 Chaser Tourer S Series 1. Even though its an NA, I love ❤ it's a funny to drive it.

What exactly makes it so humorous?
I own a is300 but I wish I could put a turbo in it cause the turbo notices sound nice on Lexus/Toyota cars
Pls put a tomei on it it would sound soooo good also I wanted a Honda Accord but now I’m saving for a jzx
There is a diesel chaser You may be familiar but jimmy Oakes was able to see it in person when he picked up his mini truck
I love your vids I have an Nissan r34
