Yeah pretty accurate I'd say...

But why the apostrophes?

"GTR's" = GTRs. Plurals don't need apostrophes...

haha jks just being a prick :woot:

On topic, I reckon the new supra could even be a Lexus, as opposed to a Toyota.

I'd LOVE to see a new supra, with a reincarnation of a JZ motor. A big power 6 with forced induction, not like their poor effort with the FT-86 (N/A 4 banger...)

Subaru have it turbocharged and AWD, then toyota have it non-turbo and RWD. FAIL.

I'd imagine the next "Supra MKV" would probably be powered by a varient of the Toyota 2GR engine with twin turbo - as opposed to a JZ engine.

how is ft86 a fail?

apparently subaru is ditching the 4wd and possibly scrapping their variant all together

and how is a highly tuned VVT NA 4 cyl a "fail"???

it's the FT86 concept - based on the AE86 concept. which as i remember, was a RWD non turbo, was never marketed as such. and never came with any forced induction. toyota is just re-living that feeling. let them!

because no one in japan outside a handful of povo drifters (who can't afford new cars anyways) and workshops seem to care about a RWD platform N/A. The market is much more polarised these days, hence the shift towards fewer models with greater variance between them.

Want a cheap small RWD N/A coupe? buy a hyundai genesis when it comes out.

sooooooooooooo munkeh you're telling me nobody in japan cares about rwd nonturbo.. orr people outside of japan? that's not to say you can't make turbo kits for them... they're a blank canvas i suppose

not to shoot you down in fear of your mighty banstick... but

rwd non turbo coupes

V35 skyline

350Z

370Z

s2000

hyundai genesis

Toyota FT86

so - there IS a market for them.

lexus. the lfa. what about it =)

not nobody, just not large enough a market share to make it viable for parent companies of japanese manufacturers to approve. not like the old days before revolutionaries like Gohsn stepped in to remove 6 models that were the same shit with a slightly different headlight.

V35 skyline - not for sale in japan any more

350Z - not for sale in japan any more

370Z - midrange sports coupe for nissan, the v36 is a luxury sports coupe

s2000 - not for sale in japan any more

hyundai genesis - not for sale in japan yet

Toyota FT86 - does not exist

Toyota sells a Altezza/Lexus IS at a similar price point to what people expect to buy a FT86 at. Its a RWD N/A. Why would they make another one until the Lexus IS brand establishes itself as a "luxury sports car" in japan? Keep in mind in the eyes of the japanese an Altezza is just a RWD corolla. Toyota is still trying to establish Lexus as a luxury brand over there.

Could that be why they are introducing the FT86 then? To delete the "Altezza" and sell it as the Lexus ISxxx

    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
