Putting a deposit down for a 86, anyone else looking at getting one?

Very possibly, but I'd like to sit in it first. I don't fit in all cars and this one could be small :(

Didn't know they were taking deposits, do they have a final RRP for us yet? What's the deposit?

Bawla!

Was thinking of getting one but then I'm stuck with the r32 gtst. Still serves me well as a daily so no point having 2 dailies. This is what happens when you shell out too much money on cars. Not worth selling. Stuck with it for life! Haha

Know a couple of senior engineers/managers at toy0ta but staff discount on cars only apply to family members and they can't sell the car within 1year of his purchase :-\

I called 3 dealers today and all said they have accepted deposits. RRP is not released yet but prices are said to be below VW golf Gti price which is $38,000

A dealer from NSW is a member of the ft86 forum or whatever it's called, he's been told that people will be pleasantly suprised with the price. I'm happy to pay $35,000.

Deposit will be refundable... Probably be like $500 or so. Once I get it than I'll try sell the 33

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
