Base=Limited, that was what I meant anyway. Good news about the ECU, this car is almost the complete opposite of the GTR. Nissan/Nismo still won't let any company display modified GTR's at Nissan events (32,33,34's no problem but not the R35)!

Gtr doesn't need to be touched IMO. That car is amazing as it stands
That is good news on the ECU, but like i said the article said its fully tunable. Dunno how truthfull it is but Anyone can place a order man, you can go right now, but it's fishing, they still don't now the exact price, exact trim envolvment or oxact release date That's what I meant haha |

That ones turbo I think
Apparently the engine was built for na but with intent to withstand some boost Reports are surfacing of pricing, looks a little exxy. Most say 39990 in oz +orc.. Might just FI the 8 and be done with it |

True, I believe cosworth had a hand in the engine. There will be plenty of bolt on turbo kits available in no time if thats the case!

Streetfx.com will be one of the first people to own an 86 in QLD
On there facebook page they said toyota dealerships could now take orders and will all have a limit of 2 per dealership...

I don't beleive the limit of 2, or the preorders, as there is no confirmation of price or ammount of cars coming to Australia yet. There are a lot of rumors based on nothing but

2 per dealer on first release. 40k plus on roads and no option list? I really think this sounds like a stab in the dark from the dealer re price. Just my 2 cents

there have been numerous preorders, both here and in the states (as per numerous threads on ft86club) but there is no set price, accurate delivery date (all thou the 8th of june seems plausible ) and defiantly no volume indications. this will never stop a car salesmen to sell a car they have absolutely no information about. if you are willing to blindly give up money, go for it, no-one will ever stop you as a foot note, some of the "top salesmen" at very reputable toyota and subaru dealerships on the southside (not southside toyota lol) found out about this car from me.. that being said, the 2 per dealer for the initial release sounds plausible, but only as test drives. dealers will ofcourse sell these if i really want this, i will be one of the 1st to get it, preorder or not, guarantee Last edited by 70NYD; 05-02-2012 at 09:38 PM. |

At 40k plus on roads I think this won't be all that popular in Australia given all the cars you can get for the same money or just a little more.

I highly doubt it will be that expensive, no official prices have been released by Toyota or Subaru yet. But I agree, if it does turn out to be the correct price, will be a failure.
