Toyota Zn6 Gt86 Spec List - Nz

In australia we are getting the G model for 29K and in japan its the same price if you convert the currency... Never in my life have I seen Toyota offer a car for the same price as in Japan...

no porno's allowed

Pity it's not due into NZ till August 22nd

However I have put a proposal through for one to be used as a demo vehicle for us! Considering I have all the TRD stuff on order now hehe!

I am hoping to pick up one version or the other (possibly STI one if Subaru do one) next year.

Looks like a very exciting enthusiasts car.

I just want one full stop haha, HKS are developing a GT-Pro Supercharger kit for it, guess that'll be on the list haha

gazoo racing has done a twin charge. looks pretty sick too.

Most of the tuning houses will jump on the 86... Just give it time and you will start seeing all sorts of crazy modifications. Only problem is emissions, these days they are to strict

Apparently TRD are releasing a supercharged version too? I'd imagine they would be rarer then hens teeth

Has been suspected, but TRD have not confirmed anything yet.

Doubt that would be covered by the new vehicle warranty tho haha (rest of TRD parts sold with the car will be covered with the new car warranty!)

Yea but TRD arent what it used to be TRD used to be all about suspension, exhaust, brakes, gauges and power adders now its mainly under bonnet bling, interior crap and a few plastic body kit pieces here and there.

The last decent thing TRD did was the Hilux in Australia (FWD dont count sorry aurion Would love to see them step-up the game on the GT86

/waits for transfer to 86 club forums with VIP discount

what else has toyota released that has been a sports car though?
you say fwd dont count, but thats what most of their cars have been of late. so TRD havent really had a chance have they?

Must admit they haven't made many sport coupes since the JZA80 and the SW20 (and the ZZW30 if you want to count that LOL but what about all these below?
Guess it's not so common in Australia as they are imports only but there are some of these kicking around in NZ (esp the Mark-Xs)

Mark-X (GRX130/133/135) - GR series engines (same as IS350/250 etc)
The Modelista ones were supercharged and were 360hp!
RWD


Crown Majesta (UZS180 series) - 3UZFE
RWD


Caldina GT4 (ST246 series) - 3SGTE
4WD


Brevis (JCG10/11 series) 1JZGTE
RWD


And my personal favourite:
Crown - GRS200 series, again 2/3/4GR engines again
RWD

Haha exactly Nick Oh you missed the best of all, the 2JZ-GTE powered Aristo V300 vertex edition! (GS300 on steroids)

Still compared with what TRD used to offer in the 90s, they have got soft... Esp on the international stage...

Haha unused to have the JZS161 TT lol. Old compared to all those. Guess its up to the likes of HKS and Cusco to make the cool parts for the GT86 lol

hmm performance figures wise the 86 seems to be very similar to the altezza Z haha. so all the cashed up youngsters that get one will still be smoked by our cars . and yes TRD has gone very soft ever since the wide body JZA80

Are there any pricings for the two models in NZ yet?

Sure have!

See HERE

I hope they have made the engine better than in the impreza.......nuf said lol.

after driving one on saturday ive got to say they are a very nice car to be in!!

the seats are so good, comfy yet very supportive.

all the dash and dials are well set out.

power wise its lacking and has to be reved hard to get it going but thats to be expected with 150kws

the steering it very sharp and gearbox is great

all in all a very nice car to be in and i would definatly buy one but it wouldnt stay stock for very long lol

ill update with some pics soon

well the same could be said for the altezza.
still a fun car.

This just to hand, 20 Special Edition TRD 86’s will be built to order in New Zealand to satisfy the most passionate 86 enthusiasts.
Bodykit, exhaust, air filter, brembo brakes (6pot front/4pot rear) & 18" rims.
