I've never heard of it, but it looks like the bastard offspring off an s14a and a soarer! (In a good way though)

Are you the guy who was in PPC, because a car that looked exactly like that was in there a couple of months ago.

Nope not in PPC.

I suppose a soarer could be called a 2 door Mark II yes

Ah the Chaser! I spent 6 months trying to find a decent one to no luck. Great cars, should of been imported officially instead of the painfully dull Camry and Avalon crap we got here.

A chaser?

I don't think I've ever seen one out side of Gran Tourismo.

You didn't buy that from someone called Toni did you? As far as we knew she was one of two or three owners in the country.

Very nice car cool

I swear that's the same as the white thing I saw in town the other day and you said was an S14 and I said it wasn't!

Thought toni has a JZX81.

There are 3 models of the JZX90 91-96. Chaser, Crester and Mark II. Th tourer V model is the one with the 1JZ-GTE.

I wont be selling for a while. There is a cream coloured one down in the South West somewhere

Toni's (as long as we are refering to the same Toni G) is definately a Mark II. Not too sure of the engine... Until now was pretty sure it was the 1JZGTE though

Yeah the JZX81 Mark II has a 1JZ-GTE, I will find pics of it later.

Its a manual and yes a Twin Turbo engine, the later ones(JZX100/110) were single turbos.

I've just looked in the magazine, and it is indeed your car. The numberplate is the same aswell, it starts 339 doesn't it?

Thats techinically illegal in my opinion - its the Japansese plate/registration translated into English, wish is notlonger valid as the domestic registration is forgone when the car is exported.
