JZX 100s are rare sightings in Australia, particularly those of the modified variety. However at a local JDMST meet I uncovered this black and gold Mark II example. Outputting 380hp at the wheels, this is Queenslander Keiran Ryan’s clean daily driver. 
We woke up at 3am on a cool summer’s morning for this photoshoot just beyond the Wivenhoe Dam in Queensland, Australia. Black cars can be tricky to shoot, but this secluded single lane road, combined with the morning sunrise, proved to be a perfect setting. 
Keiran’s JZX 100 is a Mark II, which has been given a Creative Bodyworks metallic black respray. 
The Mark II chassis hunkers down on a set of 18-inch Work VS-XX wheels. The rears are 10.5-inch wide with an offset of +26… 
…While the fronts are 9-inch with a +20 offset. Buddy Club brake pads have been fitted along with slotted rotors. 
235/40 Toyo Proxes 4 tyres are used at all four. 
A set of JIC FLT-TAR coilovers have been fitted, using spring rates of 16kg/mm at the front and 12kg/mm at the rear. A pair of Cusco sway bars help reduce body roll, with Kazama alloy cradle spacers and diff mounts also installed. 
Keiran’s JZX arrived to Australian shores with the body-kit fitted, so the brand is uncertain. It looks similar to URAS, but what do you think? Keiran has also added an Origin roof spoiler. 
The interior has been modified with only the essentials, such as a Nardi Deep Corn steering wheel… 
…And a pair of Bride Brix 1.5s. 
Some additional Bride fabric spills over to the door inserts too. 
Keiran’s 1JZ is managed by an A’PEXi Power FC, with the Commander mounted to the dash. 
The 2.5l motor features HKS camshafts, adjustable cam gears, Power Enterprise 800cc injectors and a Z32 AFM. 
The factory twin turbo setup has been converted to a single HKS 3037S. On 20psi, it produces 380hp at the rear wheels. 
A few GReddy bits and pieces have also been fitted such as a catch can, boost controller and turbo timer. 
An NPC clutch kit and Cusco 2-way diff have been added to allow for some sideways fun. 
There’s something magnetic about clean street cars that constantly draws me in. I guess you simply can’t go wrong with understated looks with a healthy dose of horsepower to boot. – Casey More Toyota JZXs on Speedhunters

Has anyone else in Australia been seeing a lot of Silvias around?
This is awsome! I would love a car like that, VIP style is my secret thing

If you are going to try and sound smart, atleast spend 2 seconds on google and get your facts right.
This needs some wallpapers, absolutely stunning!
Easily my favorite car with Work VS-XX. Super clean ride!
Great car
Awesome feature! We need more of these sick Toyota sedans in here. Reminds me of my old Mark II...those were the days.
Wow. Simply gorgeous, well built car.
Just perfect...
Great car + great location = great pictures.
Z32 AFM on a 1JZ...? Are you nuts..? Do you even know what a Z32 AFM is..?
A perfect daily driver, power when you want it, reserved when you don't. Sleek, smooth, and easy on the eyes. I think it's the perfect jzx!
Perfect, I love JZX's.
Nice pics... sweet car
been waitin for this!
"The factory twin turbo setup has been converted to a single HKS 3037S. On 20psi, it produces 380hp at the rear wheels."
Editors might want to amend that sentence. VVTI 1j's came with a single
such a beautiful car! Only that shift knob is hideous. But the rest is great!
Best car I have seen on here for a while, Good choice of turbine, HKS specifically made certain GT3037s Turbines for VVT-i 1JZs so hes definitely doing it right!
not sure if this is an original Tourer V, i say this because it doesn't have the red dash cluster lights. But he may have changed them back to a lower spec.
All around a very nice daily. Looks like Traum aero, though I could be wrong. Props to the japanese dude who built it, and props to the aussie with good taste in buying it.
Saw this on carsales a while back, couldnt believe there was one this clean in queensland. said the bodykit was unknown on the site also. i say keep it unknown, keep it unique. lol. love the colour, love the wheels, love it!

*Whispers* I want that.
Crestas, Chasers and Mark IIs are absolutely amazing.
WP!!!
1JZ-GTE with VVT-i have Single CT15B Turbo instead of pair of CT12A like the older , non VVT-i 1JZ-GTE ... I like the clean empty interior of this Mark II , exterior not my kind of taste but still epic !
Nice feature, I love the car. Please learn about the car you are featuring though - no VVTI 1JZs were twin turbo, and where is the Z32 AFM?!
"not sure if this is an original Tourer V, i say this because it doesn't have the red dash cluster lights. But he may have changed them back to a lower spec. " bahahahahaha gold, but no...its clearly a series one mark II tourer V, hence the white dash, series 2 jzx100s came out with the orange dash lighting, its clearly had series 2 arse end put on it too, lol at the editors comments about the twin turbo thing, sigh one day they might get it correct
Love this post! Grown folks daily driver that is not over the top!
@Jarred. Yeah sorry about that, I saw the facelift tails and assumed the whole car was facelift Tourer V meaning it would need an orange back lit dash.
Real nice, not factory twin turbo though haha
that would be a cool vip car
Perfection, i would not change a thing!!!!!!!!
that car doesnt appear too have an air flow meter at all, let alone a nissan one. your shots are great you're a talented photographer. But casey, mate, you need to pick up your game on the technical side.
just to clarrify, this is a series one with a series 2 tailight/bootlid conversion.

i take my hat off to kieran for building one of the nices jzx in aus,this car really deserves its attention.
goooooood
Perfect!
Z32 afm ? where ? . btw its a factory single turbo 1jz . not twin
I like a very beautiful car.This car is fast and comfort.
I like is this car. This car is TOYOTA MARK ll.
"The factory twin turbo setup has been converted to a single HKS 3037S."
The third generation of the 1JZ-GTE was a single turbo (CT 15B).
One of the sexiest cars i've ever seen
