In the best traditions. Toyota Mark II JZX100. In the best traditions Body kits brand 2 100 body
On the Far Eastern roads, "charged" sedans from the family Toyota Mark II, Chaser and Cresta have long ceased to be a rarity, and, in general, the set of their improvements usually comes down to the typical forcing of already interesting engines, the installation of a sports chassis and external tuning.
There are also truly exclusive specimens that are ideally prepared for drift or drag competitions. But the hero of our today's material was the "hundredth" Mark II, suitable for everyday driving, but at the same time having a unique history.
The “mark-like” family, which in our country is perceived primarily as “hot” sedans for young drivers, is also interesting to middle-aged buyers in the Land of the Rising Sun, so in their homeland, not every four-door passes through the hands of tuning masters. So the "hundredth" Mark II, which looks at us from the photos in the neighborhood, arrived in Primorye absolutely standard. And even what is now hard to believe, "vegetable" ...
Heart surgery
Toyota Mark II came to the author of this project with a regular in-line 6-cylinder "aspirated" 1G-FE with a capacity of 140 Horse power. Of course, this engine from the largest Japanese automaker is considered “eternal”, and its characteristics are quite enough for city driving and high-speed overtaking on the highway. But sooner or later, power and torque always begin to be lacking, so it was decided to replace the “native” motor with a more productive and suitable for tuning 1JZ-GTE unit, famous in the circles of technical improvements.
The 2.5-liter twin-shaft "six" was produced for more than one year, and therefore during the production period it received many modifications. Early versions of this engine were equipped with distributed fuel injection and two CT12A turbines, but the “restyled” versions received a different cylinder head with the VVT-i system and BEAMS technology, which was progressive at that time, and most importantly, two parallel small “snails” were replaced by a single supercharged CT15B greater performance.
The engine of the new model is standard for the flagship mark versions II JZX100 Tourer V - has the best return on high revs, but the original version of the "J-Z" is more elastic and produces more torque in the middle of the range. It was necessary to make the right choice.
Initially, this cherry “sedan” was built for everyday driving, and not for racing, so a version of a turbo engine with two “snails” was ordered from the Land of the Rising Sun, which was then installed in the JZ Service workshop, well-known among coastal lovers of “mark-like” ones. And this step was only the beginning of a long journey.
In the fight for uniqueness
And then large-scale work began to bring the chassis, appearance and interior in line with the new engine capabilities. The motor itself received a GReddy front intercooler, a custom fuel pump, a Blitz turbo timer, a sports exhaust system A'PEXi N1 and intake kit from the same Japanese manufacturer. The regular “automatic” was supplemented with a selector with a stepped mode switching scheme from the “Markov” Tourer V configuration, and when working with a conventional non-blocking drive axle gearbox, welding was required. As they say, cheap and cheerful, or rather, simple and practical.
Chief among all the new features to be found in the chassis is the HKS HyperMax adjustable coilover set, well-respected by many drifters. Plus, under the bottom there are already stiffening struts from TRD, but the author of the project has been looking for a “decent” element under the hood for quite a long time - and now a new upper strut is waiting for its turn to be installed.
A logical continuation of work on change driving performance burgundy sedan was the installation of non-standard "rollers". The choice was made in favor of collapsible alloy wheels from VeilSide, which provided "different-wide" tires with a dimension of 225 / 40ZR18 in front and 235 / 40ZR18 in the rear.
Installation custom wheels required some expansion of the arches, which became one of the important parts of the external improvements. The head optics standard for the "hundredth" Mark II gave way to elements from Vertex with diode "angel eyes" and tinted diffusers, and alternative Clear World turn signals appeared. Stoplights for our places are generally unique: diode block lights in "native" cases (in a "restyled" version) were made by a Japanese craftsman, and at the first opportunity, rare optics were ordered at auction.
Contrary to the prevailing myth, Keichi Tsuchiya, who first showed the world drifting, no longer prefers the legendary “hachiroku” from a bygone era. In particular, "dori king" has repeatedly performed in demonstration races on exactly the same "hundredth" Mark II, which was built by his friend and colleague Toshiharu Kazama.
The carbon “blade” of the Rasty Meister R spoiler, mounted on a carbon-fiber trunk lid from the same manufacturer, also looks interesting. The carbon fiber hood is also from Stage 21 with standard air ducts for better cooling of the engine, complemented by special sports external locks.
Bumpers and sill skirts - products different brands, which now look like a single whole. The role of the front "chipper" came Missile Absolute with "drift" quick-release mounts, manufacturer rear bumper- also Japanese brand Vertex, and the main feature of the Good Line door sills was the diode backlight at the ends.
Continue external tuning"hot" sedan miniature rear-view mirrors Ganador and (dear traffic police officers, do not read this line!) tinted windows.
There was a place for improvements inside the car. Mark II JZX100 received non-standard wheel MOMO Drifting, a sports handbrake lever, a GReddy boost pressure sensor, multiple carbon-look panels and a PIONEER audio head unit with pop-up display.
As standard, this sedan had a factory-equipped Tourer.
Among the highlights of this version is an electric sunroof,
"broom" rear window, climate control and an air ionizer in the cabin.
Unexpected meeting
Last spring, the author of this tuning project, together with a colleague, went to Japan, deciding to combine current business projects and a cultural program, in particular, having visited one of the stages of the D1 Gran Prix national drift championship on the Ebisu Circuit.
Quite by chance, the guys from Vladivostok also had the opportunity to visit the Kazama Auto tuning studio, well-known in the Land of the Rising Sun and beyond, whose founder and head Toshiharu Kazama is considered an important figure in the world culture of “driving sideways”. The ex-driver of the D1GP series and an engineer who devoted his entire conscious life to motorsport and technical improvements was surprised at the meeting with the Russians no less than the guests themselves: a complete copy of his own project looked at Kazama-san from their photos!
Some time before this meeting, the owner of our car thought for a long time about completing the external image of his own Toyota Mark II, thinking about the design of the oracal and looking at worthy examples on the Web. So two similar sedans were found in the “hundredth” bodywork by Toshiharu Kazama, which differ from each other precisely in stickers and color. As a result, the oracal of one of these cars, on which the “dori king” Keichi Tsuchiya himself managed to burn a lot of rubber sets, was copied by Far Eastern masters.
By the time Kazama-san was convinced of the significance of his work for foreign guests, his original cherry Mark II, as he himself explained with gestures and broken English, "was crushed and damaged." Therefore, is it any wonder that the legendary Japanese master placed a picture of the "Russified" project in a frame and under glass above his desktop?

“Toyota Mark 2” is pretty famous car, which is a representative of the business class. It was published from 1968 until 2004. During this considerable time period, the model has undergone a lot of changes. But what exactly - it is worth figuring out.
The beginning of the story
The car known today as the Toyota Mark 2 was originally planned as a project called the Mark II. By the way, it was decided to add a number to distinguish the car from other models built on the Crown platform. But in the 70s, the car began to have an independent name. This happened after the platform split.
Already in the late seventies, the Toyota Mark 2 car became a full-fledged base for the creation of other new sedans. They became known as Cresta and Chaser. They differed from their predecessor only in changes that affected the exterior, as well as interior design.
By the way, it is interesting that some cars were exported even with a left-hand drive. These were the same “Marks”, only now they became known in foreign markets as Cressida. And then another Toyota appeared - called Avalon. So they began to actively supply it to the North American market. In fact, it was designed specifically for this.
90s
The Toyota Mark 2 car quickly became popular and in demand. But then came the nineties. This time was not easy for many countries. So in Japan, car sales began to decline significantly, and this model was no exception. So Toyota decided to update a number of its sedans. However, Mark was again taken as the basis for creating new cars. And there was a successful replacement for the previous two models, which were the Chaser and Cresta. Moreover, then the Mark 2 station wagon began to appear. The car was available in two versions - both with full and front-wheel drive. This car became known under the name Mark II Qualis.
Later, when the release of the seventh generation started, the Tourer V modification was released. Under the hood this vehicle was a special engine. Toyota Mark 2 then boasted a turbocharged 2.5-liter 1JZ-GTE with 280 hp. However, it is worth returning to this later, but for now, pay attention to the most significant and famous versions of the model.
5th generation
For four years - from 1984 to 1998 - cars were released that are representatives of the fifth generation of the Mark model. In total, 8 versions were available to potential buyers. Model 2Y was considered the weakest. Under its hood was a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder 70-horsepower engine. Next in power was 2L - 2.4 liters and 85 hp. He, unlike the previous one, was diesel.
There were also versions with a 6-cylinder 2-liter for 105 or 130 “horses”. Equal to him - 100-strong, with a volume of 1.8 liters. The next most powerful was a 2-liter 6-cylinder - it could produce 140 hp. (model 1G-GEU). But the 1G-GTEU car was especially popular. Under its hood, a 185-horsepower 2-liter 6-cylinder unit with a biturbo was installed. These are all versions that were available to the Japanese and foreign market. However, there was another model that was produced for buyers from the United States. She was known as 5M-GE. Its power was 175 hp, and the volume of the 6-cylinder engine was the maximum - 2.8 liters.
6th generation
These cars were published from 1988 to the very end of 1995. There were two different versions bodies - hardtop and sedan. And their difference was that the hardtops had no frames at the door glass. Plus, the differences were seen in optics and in grille. From 1992 to 1995, only sedans were released. And by the way, there are new engines. They were completed with rear-wheel drive versions with automatic and mechanics.
There were many units. The 6-cylinder 1JZ-GTE was considered the most powerful. Its volume was 2.5 liters, and the number of “horses” produced was 280. Plus, the unit had a turbocharger. The weakest were 2L and 2L-T. Both of them were diesel and the same volume (for 4 cylinders). The first of these produced 85 hp, and the second - 97 hp. The 2L-T was turbocharged.
There were also versions for 115, 135, 150, 170, 180 and 200 “horses”. By the way, the last engine listed had the largest volume - three liters, to be more precise. It was known as 7M-GE.
7th generation
Cars produced between 1992 and 1996 are among the most famous among all the cars in the Toyota Mark 2 series. 90 body has become quite popular. There was both full and versions with the front also existed. The car "Toyota Mark 2" (90 body) could boast of six different engines.
The weakest was known as the 2L-TE - a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder, diesel engine that produces (due to turbocharging) 97 “horses”. There was also a unit for 125, 135, 180 and 220 “horses”, respectively.
It is worth noting that the most powerful version (i.e. 280-horsepower 1JZ-GTE) was installed only on the sports rear-wheel drive Tourer V modification (which was described earlier). Machines with all-wheel drive only 1JZ-GE (220 hp) could boast. And this engine worked under the control of a 4-speed automatic. Interestingly, the Toyota Mark 2 (90) car has become a kind of base, the basis for the production of other generations. And these engines later became the foundation for the JDM and drift culture known today.
Issue of the late 90s - early 2000s
The eighth generation was published exactly four years. It was also quite powerful car, which became the next version of the Toyota Mark 2. 100 body has become especially in demand. It was decided to change the design of the model radically. Remained unchanged except dimensions body and interior. transmission and undercarriage also decided to leave it the same. But everything else has changed.
New engines also appeared. There was a 97-horsepower “diesel”, while the rest of the units were gasoline. 1.8-liter 4S-FE with 130 “horses”, 140-horsepower 1G-FE with a volume of 2 liters, a completely new 1G-FE (BEAMS), producing 160 hp. - all these motors were installed under the hood of brand new cars from Toyota. Most powerful engines there were three - for 200, 220 and 280 "horses". Actually, they were the most sought after and popular. It is not surprising why the technical tuning of the Toyota Mark 2 was extremely rare - and so all the characteristics were normal.
It is interesting that starting from September 1996, in engines running on gasoline, they began to use a special technology for changing the phases of gas distribution. Needless to say, even for the volume of which is two liters, a modernized cylinder head was used.
Technical advantages
Toyota Marks of the 2000s became much more technically advanced than their predecessors. It was decided to replace two turbochargers with one large ST15. The cooling system has been significantly improved, the torque has also increased. Fuel efficiency has become much more noticeable. Even the car accelerated more dynamically. Also, modern Toyotas were offered with ventilated brake discs, xenon headlights, an audio system, powerful speakers in the amount of six pieces, a subwoofer and alloy wheels by 16 inches. And also basic equipment different systems VSC and TRC. Climate control was offered as an option.
"Toyota" in the back of 100 received special recognition from people. The owners claim that this car is able to fall in love with any person who appreciates the bright and sporty appearance of cars. Reviews, in fact, varied. Some believe that the appearance could be made more conservative, while others like everything. Those who are not satisfied with something do tuning. Some put a new body kit, grille, optics. Other people who are fans extreme driving, put a bipod to increase the eversion of the front wheels. They, as a rule, decide to improve the engine in order to improve specifications. And of course, style the car accordingly.
Tuning may be different. However, its price is not limited to a couple of tens of thousands of rubles. And it is important to give your car to real specialists in this matter. Because tuning by the hands of an inexperienced person can simply ruin the car. And not cheap. "Mark" of the early 2000s in normal condition will cost about 300-500 thousand rubles.
Latest cars
The 9th generation was the final one. It was also produced for four years - from 2000 to 2004. The car ceased to look like a car with a sporty-aggressive character. He became an ordinary sedan with frames in the doors. Only the suspension remained from the sports car. From changes - moved under backseat fuel tank, enlarged trunk, plus a complete rejection of diesel units. But there was a technology of fuel injection using high pressure. And the name has also changed. The top version of the Tourer V became known as the Grande iR-V. And there were 5-band machines. In 2002, the appearance of the car was also changed - new headlights, a stylish bumper and new-shaped lights appeared.
But in 2004, the release of these models ended. The car, known as the Mark II, existed for a very long time, so its name has gone down in history with honor.
