Hi Dtm,

I have been told by the previous owner that the adjustable suspension is at its softest setting and it is great. It can handle speed bumps, pot holes, and all the very tight turns and steep undulations that exist in HK. It also goes around roundabouts completely flat, no body role at all. You can just gently drive around under 2k rpm and it's as comfortable as grandads Toyota Crown,but after that it turns in to an amazing performance saloon. If you want to look at what you can get in HK check out www.28car.com. There is a search box in the top right, you can put chaser, mark II or jzx100 etc and you will see search results, it's a weird mix of European and jap cars over here.

Studio117,



There Are a few jzx90's, cresta, MarkII and chaser, on trade car view for around 2000 usd, or are you hoping for a manual? They seem to go for 10k USD

Lovely. I'd love something like that in comfort spec to cruise about in.

Met a guy at a show not so long ago with a beautiful 80s Soarer.

I have owned five of the seven Z20 Soarer's that are in the UK, saw another one on the back of a transporter near southampton during the week so that's eight I now know of. I have had two GZ20's two MZ20's & one MZ21

Brilliant, I'll let him know that next time I'm speaking to him actually. He imported it himself around Christmas time.

On another note, I'm confident I have videos of you drifting buried somewhere in my Youtube favourites smile

First "proper" photo of it. A local guy who can actually use a camera wanted to snap it during the week.

Not seen any updates on this thread for a while.

I'm leaning towards importing a JZX100 in white, automatic, like artoir's with some nice suspension mods.
