The X100 Chaser Tourer V combines a 2.5L turbocharged 1JZ-GTE with rear-wheel drive. Toyota offered both a four-speed automatic and five-speed manual, with factory manuals generally harder to find in today’s market. This guide distinguishes original Toyota specifications from later modifications and separates turbo Tourer V eligibility from the naturally aspirated Tourer S.
Original factory manual cars and later manual conversions are different specifications; pricing and compliance requirements can vary.
Tourer V models with the 1JZ-GTE turbo are covered by SEV-000963 (January 1996–July 2001). Current in-force MRE-000164 lists factory manual (R154) and automatic (A341E) variants. Naturally aspirated Tourer S models use the 1JZ-GE and are not covered by that SEVS approval; Australia’s 25-year-old vehicle import pathway may apply when the individual vehicle meets the requirements.
Estimated from around $31,600 AUD landed and complied. Tourer V turbo examples shown below are approximately $31,600 and $41,000 AUD landed and complied, depending on condition and specification. These are indicative prices, not quotes.
The Toyota Chaser Tourer S features the naturally aspirated 2.5L 1JZ-GE engine. Although it is not covered by the Tourer V’s SEVS approval, we can also arrange imports of Tourer S vehicles through Australia’s 25-year-old vehicle import pathway. Eligibility depends on the vehicle’s build date, modification history and import approval.

Tourer S pricing example — separate 25-year-old vehicle import pathway (not SEV-000963).
Toyota sold the Tourer V in both factory automatic and factory manual form. The naturally aspirated Tourer S is a different engine variant, while TRD-branded components and packages require documentation to distinguish original-fit parts from later additions.
| Variant or configuration | What changes | Import pathway |
|---|---|---|
| Tourer V, 4-speed automatic | 1JZ-GTE turbo with factory A341E automatic | SEV-000963, subject to applicable Model Report |
| Tourer V, 5-speed manual | 1JZ-GTE turbo with factory R154 manual | SEV-000963, subject to applicable Model Report |
| Tourer V with TRD equipment | Desirable TRD styling or interior components on some examples; the individual vehicle’s original equipment must support any factory TRD claim | Same Tourer V pathway when otherwise eligible; modification requirements depend on the individual vehicle |
| Tourer S, naturally aspirated | 2.5L naturally aspirated 1JZ-GE, not the 1JZ-GTE turbo | Not covered by SEV-000963; separate 25-year-old vehicle import pathway, subject to eligibility and approval |
PCI indicative market observation: TRD-equipped Tourer V examples can sit around $6,000 AUD above an equivalent normal Tourer V depending on condition and kilometres. This is Prestige Car Imports market guidance, not a Toyota manufacturer specification or guaranteed premium.
