supratt1001 · 11-12-2008, 10:23 AM

no clue why I chose this forum to ask but toyota chasers has anyone imported one or know if it possible with one the older ones cuz of the 10yr limit rule thing?

G · 11-12-2008, 10:25 AM

y?

PM-Performance · 11-12-2008, 10:56 AM

Where did you come up with this supposed 10yr rule?
Do you live in the US? If so, there is no such thing.

You can import anything you like if you have patience and money. If I had the patience a Chaser would not be top of my list to import

TrueSlideXL · 11-12-2008, 12:08 PM

There is a 25 year rule. Grandfathered exemptions are usage specific though.

supratt1001 · 11-12-2008, 02:36 PM

i thought i herd a rule were if its between this and this year you can import certain cars,ill have to ask around more,i loveeee the vip scene and havein a chaser over a celisor or a aristo would be nasty.

Canada has a 15 year rule. US doesn't have any rules. Just a long list of cars that are eligible for import.

HLY_SHFT · 11-12-2008, 08:13 PM

What the fuck is this "vip" shit I'm hearing about? I have 15 y/o JDM weeaboos coming into the shop asking about it, and I've yet to even see it.

PhoeniXDownVII · 11-12-2008, 09:03 PM

VIP is "Very Idiot Person". An individual who is very much, an idiot.

SDstreetracer · 11-12-2008, 10:41 PM

Chaser's are bad ass! I wish we could get them in the US.

claricae86 · 11-12-2008, 11:19 PM

"VIP" is japanese for "Nigger rich" I believe

US does have rules. You can bring in almost any car that is 25 years old or older. Other than that, there is a list issued from the NHTSA that allows certain vehicle "eligible" for entry that are not 25 years or older. Also, you can petition to have a vehicle placed on that list. To get a car put on that list is no easy process. Once the car(s) is here and allowed to pass customs, it must then be modified to conform to NHTSA crash standards (which means crash testing $$$$$$) and must meet all EPA requirements (which means lab testing $$$$). It far out prices the cost of the actual car. Haven't you heard of the MOTOREX story? Irresponsibility played a strong role in MX's eventual demise, but even if they did survive, there would not have been enough money generated to sustain the importation of skylines.

Chasers are bad ass...so are Verosas...I think the only 1JZ-GTE powered sedans you could get in a stick shift.

Bmw_Neo_Type · 11-12-2008, 11:38 PM

I rode in a Verosa (similar to a chaser, VVTi 1jz-gte 4 door), when i was in japan for vacation a while back. That was a fun ride.

Good luck.

ruiner27 · 11-13-2008, 08:00 AM

Chasers, I like the turbo versions.
It's called the "Tourer V" and comes with 1JZ and a parallel twin turbo (non seq.)

in Japan, VIP is a style that's all about making your car look "phat"
here's an LS400 that's typically done up in "VIP STYLE"
slammed, tinted windows, and big dish wheels...

It's when some kid slams his big luxury car on huge wheels with no tire and gobs of negative camber, which almost renders the car undriveable. They're the new ricers.

lis2k · 11-13-2008, 04:05 PM

Chasers are neat cars, would make a fun DD. As for VIP style, I have yet to see any real VIP riding around in a car done like that.

ocd · 11-13-2008, 07:04 PM

Real VIP is expensive, just as real "tuner" cars are expensive. It can be done tacky/cheap or proper/costly. Example of proper VIP treatment...

I'm not a VIP fan boy, but the guys at JP set this one off correct

Those chasers pic'd above are more like cross-over drift/VIP-ish inspired.

Here's a vid of a tough ass drift spec Verosa ripping up the road in Japan. It's the curvy dark red one they do a lot of views from through the sun roof.

No, I have never said it once. Plus if I did say it, I would say nigga. Nigger is derogatory. Nigga is slang, thanks to dumb rap music.

Overreact much?

A proper VIP car would be sweet to have as a daily (in the same way an Escalade or something would be), but other than that...meh. Plus 99% of the ones I've seen like that look like shit.

You wouldn't understand.

Seriously though, not looking to start an argument. I don't like arguing unless it's civil and constructive...and I don't see this heading down that path

Just fucking with you

JZX90-JZX100 Chaser/Cresta/MKII's are fairly common over here (Japan). They are the car of choice for a lot of people that don't want to lay a lot of cash out for something that can be made relatively fast. RWD + 5 speed + 1JZ = Fun. They were all available in a stick. I've seen so many of them that the novelty has worn off for me. Importing one? I suppose you could if you had enough money to throw at an RI. Would it be worth it financially? Hell no, there are a lot more capable cars out there for less money.

The Toyota Verossa is kind of an oddball. Toyota consolidated the whole lineup in 01' with the Verossa (JZX110). The VR25 model still had RWD, 1JZ and could be had with a stick (rare though). However there was a public backlash due to the quirky styling. They didn't sell anywhere near the numbers that they did of the JZX90's and 100's. Toyota killed the platform off in early 04' (most are 01's though). I have a friend that pseudo-drifts his 110', it's got a bodykit and is halfway decent looking.

Here's a stock one, kinda bland:

"VIP" is fairly popular out here. Think huge wheels, slammed + lotsa negative camber. Not my cup of tea but I don't pretend to "get" half the retarded shit they do out here anyway.

Example, a typical Saturday night:

WTF?

How about an "El-Sky-Camino"?

Batman may pimp the Batmobile in Hollywood but apparently he drives this van out here...
