Building the 1993 Toyota JZX90 Chaser

This is the build process of the 1993 Toyota JZX90 Chaser Tourer V 2.5L turbo inline 6.

As a car itself, many outside Japan (myself included) would not have seen one in the flesh, for the very fact that it was a Japanese domestic model only - which is surprising due to the fact that it is rear-wheel-drive, has independent rear suspension, larger than 2 litres - it would have made a good BMW / Mercedes-Benz / Alfa Romeo competitor! - Trust Toyota to be canny and export the likes of the 'bland but reliable' Camry and Corolla models overseas - keeping the good stuff for Japan!!!

As a model, it was one I was actually on the lookout for (in spite of never seeing an actual one before), having in 2006 build up the closely related (and more common - familiar to some from the Gran Turismo series) Toyota JZX90 Mark II version of the car. As it was, in spite of having a completely different body to the Mark II, everything else was the same - underbody, even the interior!!! Nevertheless, I made a few internal differences between the two, being that this Chaser gained an internal TV set, and automatic transmission (complete with a foot mounted handbrake!). As it happened, it was an enjoyable car to build, and complements the JZX90 Mark II well.

Actually, as I discover now, there is a third JZX90 body, the Cresta - which I believe Aoshima also has in model form - which I most certainly will be looking out for!

The soundtrack utilized for this is Evanescence - "Everybody's Fool" (2003)

make mark2 video please

[joh2]

@sgigti The Mark2 shown with the Chaser was built before I had even heard of Youtube! However - I have since built a scalemodel of the previous gen Mark2, which WILL have a video done for it...

Hey Joh, Just something I have to point out, the wheels on that model look extremely similar to those of a vx holden commodore ss.

[joh2]

Come to think of it now you're right! The Commodore SS is certainly one car I would like to see available in model kit form...

how do you paint them? brush or spray?

[joh2]

Spray, with brush for the finer detailing...

@joh2

Simply make the video review already constructed red mark2 jzx90, it would be desirable to look at it more close and more in detail :)
