damn I wish I had orderd a BRZ quickly

http://www.carpoint....63801&silo=1011

that's a lot of mark-up for a demo model

I ordered mine last night finally, test drive left me grinning from ear-to-ear :D Optioned it up so it's on par with the 86 GTS in terms of price, but the BRZ has a much nicer front and interior.

What sort of wait you looking at Julie?

They dealer said 9 months but the website quotes 12 months. I'm cool with 9-12 months.

I've ordered a WRC Blue Mica BRZ Premium Pack (leather/alacantra heated seats) with optional rear diffuser and floor mats. I hope the mod bug doesn't hit me too hard, it's such a fun car to drive.

Hahahaha, I'm not that tacky :P There's an absolute bucketload of kits already developed and in development - both supercharger kits and turbo kits. They have so much untapped potential, they're a pretty high comp motor. Small turbo, 8PSI, bigger direct injectors, fuel management system and the power jumps from 103rwkw to 216rwkw which I don't think anyone would be dissapointed with. I wouldn't be heading down the forced induction route until the warranty period is up because I value the warranty & free servicing for 3 years and the long term reliability remains to be seen. The yanks have extracted even more power with minimal boost.

Epic congrats. The brz front and the blue look awesome. I was disappointed with the 86 gt interior. Built on a budget. Does the interior vary with the brz? Or the seat option the biggest standout?

Where you test drive and what was the final price? 38k?

The interior is different in the BRZ, the dash panel is silver rather than fake carbon fibre. The instrument cluster is classier - black with silver edging and digital speed readout like the GTS.

I test drove it at Subaru Interactive Docklands. They have two available for test drive - one auto Black and one manual Blue. My auto Premium Pack + diffuser + mats worked out to $42,225 drive-away.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
