Gudzy Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Some of you may have noticed my for sale thread go up a couple of days ago here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/101224-2004-350z-modified-silver-black-gt-72k-miles/ Here is a quick picture of my 350z's replacement, a Toyota GT86: My plans at the moment are just to fit the exhaust parts that came with it and enjoy it for a bit but ultimately I'd like to get a sprintex supercharger installed. The eagle eyed amongst you might have also noticed an Infiniti G37 in the background. That's my dad's new car which he ended up buying on the same day that I picked up my GT86 for the exact same price which is quite a coincidence. So at least I will get to hear a Nissan V6 every now and then still and can have an excuse for coming to meets! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Very nice How does it compare to the Z? the GT86/BRZ will probably be my next car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeybrain1234 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Very nice GT86. Seeing more of these about now. Seem to be popular for modding like the Z's. As above, how is it compared to the Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Very nice How does it compare to the Z? the GT86/BRZ will probably be my next car Interesting, can't wait to see what you do with that! I beleive I've seen a 2JZ conversion has been done on one... It's quite a different car to the zed as there is a definite lack of torque until 4.5k whereas I find the zed is happier at lower revs, so its a different style of driving. Hopefully the exhaust parts I've got and a remap will help raise the torque dip but ultimately it probably needs some form of forced induction to compare with a zed in a straight line. I've not got to drive the GT86 in anger much yet as its as low as it will go on the tein suspension and is missing the front drop links as the standard ones were too long so I'll get those fitted (and the suspension raised a bit) before I do too much spirited driving. Handling is good from what I can tell, mine is on 18" BBS wheels with Vredstein Sessanta tryes rather than the low grip Michelin's that come with it from standard.

I wont be doing much other than basic mods to it Its going to my only car once I get one so will be keeping it sensible - besides, im fed up of big projects now - I just want to go back to simple things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G Man Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 PM Fatrab, I'm pretty sure he's done most things to his old GT86. Saw a few of them at Tartan Tarmac on Sunday, lovely cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudzy Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I believe the previous owner had plans to fit a rocket bunny kit. The genuine kit is very expensive and requires cutting of the panels so it can't be removed, I've got no plans for any body kits at the moment but I'll likely have the roof and maybe boot wrapped black.

Rock_Steady Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 it takes a brave man to take a hacksaw to their recently purchased car to fit a rocket bunny kit. I'm not sure i'd do it if that were the case. Shame though, they look amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your right on the arches, no going back We do one here thats a good fit and fairly cheap http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/products.aspx?CategoryId=902138c3-6c15-452c-bba6-827f71cb17b5 I went for the Stillen kit, less work and looks pretty mint. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
