Drag race: Tuned Toyota Chaser vs tuned Nissan Skyline R34

Mat’s behind the wheel of a car he’s never heard of today: the Toyota Chaser. Under the bonnet is a 2.5-litre 1JZ six-cylinder engine with a whopping great turbocharger strapped to it, and it puts out 550hp. This will be pretty lairy as well because all the power is sent to the rear wheels only via a five-speed manual gearbox, and there’s no traction control.

Lined up next to him is a four-door R34 Nissan Skyline, also with a 2.5-litre straight-six. This is Nissan’s RB25 engine though, and with the turbo it’s putting out 750hp. This goes to the rear wheels only via a five-speed manual gearbox, and there’s no traction control here either.

This is the first time we’ve seen Mat get nervous about a drag race, so check out the video to find out how it went!
