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

Fark...I want one but I'd probably have to sell the bike or Skyline, the former being too young in my possession and the latter not being worth selling. I have three regos/insurances as is :/

Rego should be for the driver not the vehicle :/

Are Subaru taking orders too? I was torn between who you'd go with. Subaru know their boxer engines (servicing etc.), but Toyota had the best exterior look IMO. Subaru interior looked better from concept pics.

Probably best engine under 140k

err, i THINK ou are forgetting the mighty RB20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

revs to 11ty and makes POWAH!!

best engine EVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R32 for life yo

Probably best engine under 140k

I reckon, 286rwkw stock and with a re-map of the factory ECU +100kw gains to be had.. awesome grunt

Let me know if you find any TE37 superlaps 19x10 +35 ish.. and 19x9 +20ish or any good looking rims really, also 20s are good too

For those that are thinking of buying an 86, what has swayed you into buying it?

As from a car enthusiast point of view one could argue it doesn't offer better performance/handling of the s15 of 10 years ago.

Understandable though if you want that new car purchase, updated interior and arguably less cop trouble.

In saying that I hope it is a success, so other manufacturers can bring out cheap RWD coupé sports cars.

Too bad it only comes in a family boat!

Emotionally, for me it's the idea of a brand new, reliable car with modern everything. It wouldn't be as fast as my Skyline, but everything else would be better about it. Lowered on a nice set of wheels and I'm done. I've hated the look of new cars for the last 10 years...everything looks like a mish mash of ergonomical f*** up compared to the 90's and early 00's. Toyota haven't made anything good looking for 10-15 years IMO.

Logically, it's the answer to the question, what do we have these days in the way of good value sports cars? All the traditional Jap imports are getting old, unreliable and boring. In the new car market, anything good looking (sweet f*** all) and decently quick (370Z, STi, R32) is a $60k+ affair. I think this car will have a brilliant little niche to itself...perfect sports car for young people.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
