Click to Subscribe! ► goo.gl/x9qFdW
Supras and Skylines get all of the attention. But there is one JDM import that has flown under the radar here in the States. A car that has been a staple of the Japanese drift scene. A car that you might remember from long nights playing Gran Turismo. The JZX100 Toyota Chaser! Today let's take an in-depth look at a tastefully modified 1996 Toyota Chaser Tourer V, and find out why you should probably buy one.

So I should probably buy a Chaser, right?
Yes.
YES!
It makes you daughter happy. Dad is not disappointed either... Sooo..... YES
No. I do not want to see the "This is my Chaser and it's broken." video.
It has silly sounds.
I love the design of this car. It looks subtle yet sporty, and that's a hard look to pull off.
Similar in spirit to the E39 BMW 5-series, imo
I love the looks of the Chaser. I just saw one driving in Richmond, CA the other day and then saw your tweet about this car. Nice to learn more about it. Your daughter's blow off valve noises are hilarious!
Had me a jdm 97 jzx100 when i was in Okinawa. How i miss that car. Such an amazing vehicle.
this was a really fun and entertaining video, the camera shots were top notch , keep up the fantastic work :) i for sure do remember driving this car back in the day in grand turismo and tokyo xtreme franchises
My old roommate just imported one. Very cool car. Also, never ever ever spraypaint stock wheels black! (even if they're stock for a different car) Might sound like it'll look good, but it never does.
I love the video game menu-esque music Ethan uses in these vids. Creates the perfect mood
Я проживаю на Дальнем Востоке России и владею таким автомобилем уже десять лет)) Каждый день, в течение десяти лет, садясь за руль Toyota Chaser, на моем лице появляется дурацкая улыбка)) Я настолько люблю этот автомобиль, что решил собрать с нуля еще один😂
На этом можно заработать бро😅
@@user-fn4uj2js4t так точно☝️😁
Love it! Great video/review! ❤️
Beautiful review of this Toyota Chaser and definitely remember Gran Turismo and have a wonderful week brother 💯😁👍👊
Absolutely love these RWD Camry's*... Japan always get all the cool stuff! I'll just have to settle for my manual Lexus IS300
It’s so much nicer then the Camry dude , also not fwd . The is300 is cool but it’s so tiny they literally shrank the chaser and sold it in the U.S lol
This video is brilliant, very informative thanks 🙏
Really cool car, and absolutely awesome video. I had never heard of the Chaser before.
i love your content!
Well done and worth the watch for the integration of period commercials and race footage.
Man vintage Japanese ads are the best 😂 Great video, always been curious about these.
Loved your daughter's comments! Made me laugh.
😁😁😁
1JZ always doesn't disappoint
Love it, I need one.....and your shirt!
I’ve wanted one since I found out it’s got fans that oscillate really that sold me on one , thank you for mentioning it in the video 👍😂
love the zoomy sounds, dad 💯
Your shirt is rad!
That was such a good watch. Awesome production value! That turbo spool sound is intoxicating.
Thank you!!!
This is rad!
My favorite chassis. I wish they were still under the radar!
absolutely love the JZX100. That car is beautiful stock; I wouldn't have touched the looks. I don't think motoring gets any better than a Supra-for-the-family.
That is one sweet JDM Toyota. Peak Japan!
Great Video. I own it’s big brother, a 2jz-gte Aristo. I always considered it the 4 door Supra, though. 😂
BestMotoring was first time seeing one nice looking car😊😎👍
I have the JZX90 Mark 2 tourer V version with the R154 5spd transmission, only mod is the HKS exhaust that came on the car. Also have a S13 vert(auto), a RHD Zenki S14(5 Spd), & the daily is a 2022 Mazda CX5 turbo. If you are ever in the Seattle WA area let me know & you can check out my collection.
is hood scoop custom? or some company makes them?
An honorable mention for the model I have, JZX81. A bit more more retro, but the same 1jz punch. Plus almost _nobody_ knows what it is.
Same one from intouch, nice.
My home boy has one and it’s very nice!
Soo cute how your daughter loves the sound
You are riot, they are a joy. I sold my 911 and kept the jzx. I'd suggest you get the geometry setup, I use mine for track days and back road fun. With a more aggressive geo set up they feel great and agile. Regarding power if it's just a piggy back and boost up to 1bar we got 287whp at 1bar running bigger injectors, fuel pump and a link ecu.
Insta?
@@govannigarcia7075 same name
the jzx90 has to be my dream JDM Drift purpose owned car
ah yes, recently bought my tourer s with very low mileage to swap in the spring. can't wait!
Hi, nice car, what a front bumper's name?
I am happy I have owned one for 10 years now, as of 2022
It would be something to roll up into the school pickup/dropoff with this... And your daughter is a fantastic co-star (with excellent taste in cars).
Haha yeah I drove her to school a few times in this. She loved it! And yeah she’s probably going to take my job soon!
Dude you have the coolest sunglasses.
😎😎😎😎😎
The JZX100 really reminds me of the E39 5 series BMWs, especially from the rear
My favourite car chaser❤
Strange how I personally fell in love with the Chaser more than the Supra, idk something about it's sleek sedan design along with the beautiful sounds it makes! MMMPH! Also sweet editing dude that was awesome
Can you do a video on the toyota aristo jzs161
adding the kid towards the end was a nice touch to the dad jokes
Oh, I know. I picked mine up from the port 7 months ago haha.
Japanese speaker here: It's basically saying u gotta put in the ETC card (card to pay to use the motorway, means u dont have to stop at the gates) and that the map does not extend past the area that u are in... so it just shows an arbitrary spot
Dude, it was super cute with your daughter in the car! I have a chaser of my own and a little man but it's missing mounting points for the baby seat on the top strap. Did this car have them or did you improvise? Thanks!
Haha thanks!! From everything that I've read over the years, the safest way to mount a child seat in a car is to use the seat belt. Even for a rear facing seat. Just follow the instructions for mounting via seat belt, tighten the crap out of it, make sure it doesn't wiggle around, and you should be good.
@@HelloRoad thanks for the reply mate! I guess the US has less stricter laws than Aus because over here they require a top mounted fitting to hook into an anchor point that's independent and completely separate from the seat belt 😅
It’s a little uncanny of how this Chaser has looks inspired of the E39 BMW 5 Series, in Particular the front lights & the shaping of the rear lights.
JZX90 one of the best jzx chassis 🤙
Ethan, Was there a Chaser wagon? If not a genuine RWD Crown wagon would do it. Thanks for the public service announcement at 12:57👏👏👏👏
😀😀😀😀 No Chaser wagons, but some generations of the Mark II (based on this platform) could be had as a wagon.
No Chaser wagon. If you want a 1JZ-GTE VVTi-equipped estate from the factory, your best bet would be either the JZS171 Crown Athlete V Estate or a JZX110W Mark II Blit.
@@djafri84 A Crown wagon has turned up in my neck of the woods but it looks like the engine has been tuned to a state of ruin.
Keep up with the Dan Flashes shirts.
Your daughter is adorable ☺️ and I absolutely love the JZX 90 & 100
The chaser jzx100 or the toyota aristo jzs161. Can you make a comparison to both ?
Bro that suspension of a Corona mark 2!!!
Got mine in 2016 and I never looked back 😆
I’m in love
Thanks dad!
What's the exact model?
Ethan, you and I need to talk about getting you a Mexican Spec car. People go crazy for these cars on the other side of the world and these cool cars are right across the border.
Yessssss
5:06 - it didn't make "about 280hp" - it officially made, just like every performance Japanese car at the time, the magical number of 276hp. Honest guv :-)
There was a jzx110 mark ii which looks miles better than the verossa, arguably the most corolla looking one out there, plus the top trim still comes with a manual turbo JZ.
Do you even know of the jzx110 mark 2 or Blit
The Chaser was not available in RSA
4:00 this part pissed me off 😂😂😂
yea, at first, I laugh at but when i came to know It's history then i am liking this Old monster 👍👍👍👍👍
Wait what. 25 year import law? Whats the reason for this? Im in ireland and see a few around
1:04 i see the owner loves techno...i see the plastikman/richie hawtin sticker on the back
its just so hard to find one
For that price ISF is much more reasonable. Man it is crazy I’m from Russia currently living in the US, these cars were extremely popular back in Russia cos that was the best bang for buck deal. People in the US don’t even know much about these cars but seeing these prices is just sad. Any of Mark 2 based MT sedans going for 25k+. Crazyyy!
Thats a diverter valve not a blow off valve that's why it sounds like that
Fave moment ... your daughter doing the Chaser sound "ohhh ...doo ,doo ,doo,dooooh" lol
I love My jzx100 chaser 1jzgte vvti r154.
6:05 Kaado irete kudasai. (Please enter (ETC) card...) 6:10 Jisetsujouhou ga arimasen. Jouhou ga aru chiten made, chizu idou sasete kudasai. (Seasonal information unavailable. Please move the map to designated points to view relevant information...)
The automated voice said “Ethan could you please move to the left a little? I can’t breathe!” No charge for the translation Ethan-kun 😊 Edit: terrible spelling
Thank you, but I would take Nissan Laurel 😛
Was this one registered anywhere?
As the owner of the Chaser above, it isn't registered yet since I need to scoop it up and take it home to get it titled and registered. It's been far too long!
@@djafri84 Where are you going to register it? In what state?
I finally get the chance to say I’ll be owning one🥹I’ll be picking mine up tomorrow
😮😮😮😮
4:00 "Ohhhh What were they thinking ... I think I'm gonna be sick" 🥴🤢🤮🤧🤢🤮🥵 😂🤣
This was my dream car in high school. Was my car of choice in Maximum Tune 3
I'm actually planning to go to Japan to find a clean chaser to import... how much do you think they cost? I'm still learning all the different models so I'm looking for the turbo charged model...
Really depends! If it’s an R grade (repaired) or not, if it’s a Tourer V or not, if it has a manual or not, modified or not, how many KM on the odometer. I am certainly not an expert on JZX100 prices but my guess is you could pay anywhere from USD $10k-$30k-ish to import one
Looking to around 3million for a clean manual tourer v
You mean steering wheel on the right side ;)
That spoiler has to go😂
don’t tell them about the chaser i’m tryna get one before they are crazy priced 😅
She gets a like for that impressive spool
Haha!!
The plastikman sticker in the window tho
Just ignore all that stuff up there and drive it. Great words to live by.
The Chaser is what the Supra wishes it was
But how do I get one lmao
love the chaser, but that fake hood vent is doo doo
Do I look like I have Toyota chaser money
5:20 I love the disclaimer on screen that reads the " _Mk IV_ " Supra was powered by the 2jz" as he describes the Chaser as sometimes being known as a "4door Supra" of its time with its 1jz, because if he DIDN'T clear that up, an endless number of clueless fanboys would shut down the interwebs waiting thier turn to correct him. 😁
These cars are the very definition of blind pop culture. They were considered fodder for their motors back in the early 2000s, infact I bought a JZX100 motor for cheap to put into my Z20 Soarer (and had to throw away the worthless front oil sump of the time for a rear one). They're basically a wannabe BMW E39.
I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it ... I need... nooo! I don't need it! Don't make me think I can afford another car!
Jay zee ex? Jay zed ex
It’s almost like people speak differently in different areas of the world 😆
It looks like r32
Hot take the body style looks better than a Supra, if I wanted curves I’d take an rx7, this is more practical too
4:57 you said there's a J-pipe delete but there's a J-pipe on it
