I see that thewheelshop sells one for the GT86 but the GR86 is not included in their list of Toyota cars, anyone know if it will fit the GR86?

The title should read GR86 🙄

Anybody else experienced this?

Cheers!

PS thoroughly enjoyed it and probably will buy, although only 27 mpg was a tad hard to see.

When I put my registration into:-
https://www.toyota.co.uk/owners/servicing-and-aftercare/oil-and-tyres

It said “Sorry, we couldn’t find your vehicle”.  All the other companies I tried said a similar thing when I put my registration in, so I had to put in my car details individually:-

For:-
https://www.castrol.com/en_gb/united-kingdom/home/car-engine-oil-and-fluids/motor-oil-and-fluids-finder.html

The first oil it suggested was “Castrol MAGNATEC Hybrid 0W-20”, but this is for hybrids, would there being any advantage in using this?

The second oil suggested was “Castrol EDGE 0W-20 C5”, this is what I am inclined to use.  However, I am a bit anti Castrol since they took over Duckhams and stopped manufacturing their 20-50 oil (for my old Corolla).  I believe this is fully synthetic but the website does not actually say that!

For:-
https://www.mobil.co.uk/en-gb/engine-oil/mobil-1/car/mobil-1-0w-20

The first oil it suggested was Mobil 1™ ESP X2 0W-20 “an advanced full synthetic engine oil”.

I tried:-
https://www.commaoil.com/

But it was pain to use and then didn’t give an engine oil!

https://www.mymotorworld.com

Suggests Carlube Triple R 0W-20 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil R-TEC 4 5L but that is about half the price at £26.99 of Castol, so not keen on that.

Any advice please?

Edit: my GR86 has only done 1600 miles but being old school, I thought that I would change it now and then again under warranty in September.

I posted here rathe than the GR86 sub because there is more of a chance that someone has done this in the GT86 and I assume the boot wells are the same.

If anyone is interested, this is an American video showing how to fit them, it looks pretty simple, I assume they are universal:-

I put this here because I would think that the fittings are the same for both cars and there is more of a chance of someone having them fitted to a GT

I only got chance to watch this a couple of days ago, SUPERB!!!!!

Any suggestions?

been on the forum for a little while now, but mainly on the yaris forum.  I sold my t-sport a few months back and was looking for something else.  Really nice 2012 gt86 that was also quite local to me popped up and i was glad to bring it back today.  Really nice car, but needs some tidying up, had AP racing brakes (look like 4 pots), coilovers and a few other tweeks.  

First things first though, a good wash, clean, polish and hoover up, remoisturise the seals etc.  That'll take a good few days.  Water in the rear light too (RHS) and a slight knocking at the front.

Just a question though, is the clutch biting point meant to be really high up?  Plus its a bit jumpy at low speeds - i'll run some injector cleaner through it for a few tanks to see if that improves things.

Doesn't have the users manual and folder - anywhere i could get hold of one?

Finally if anyone has any pics of their engine bay i'd be keen to see what it should look like.  Thanks

I'd like to dismantle it and it looks like it can be removed from behind the door card.  Thereafter, what's the best way to get to the mechanism and are there any limit switches etc that can be accessed?  On older cars you could just pop off the mirror to get to the drive motors.

Thanks

Any other suggestions?  Thanks

Manuals are currently available for the GT86 made from 2012.

Great to meet some of you guys and see the GT86s on show 📷

Any current owners of the GT86 planning on getting a GR86? Sadly it looks like there will only be a maximum of a 2 year window to buy one in Europe ☹️

not sure why I have not joined previously but its great to see such an inclusive club.

I have an issue with a 2013 GT86 that started a few weeks ago after being stood through lockdown, We went to run the car up and it would not start so I had it checked locally and a low Battery was diagnosed, a new one was ordered and fitted but the vehicle still refused to start with the RED LOCK flashing on the dashboard, next new key fob batteries were placed in both keys and they were tried separately still no change.

i then quit and booked the car in with my local Toyota main dealer, this proved difficult as the steering lock was stuck on so winching it on and off the trailer proved eventful.

Long story short although booked in for a specific day the vehicle languished at the dealer for three weeks with me constantly chasing them for any level of news finally after 3.5 weeks I have been told the immobiliser ECU is at fault and it is £2833.45 to replace it.

i appreciate this is an 8 year old car that has covered 30k but I am truly shocked.

Question 1

has anyone else out there had GT86 Immobiliser failure

Question 2

is it possible to remove or program out the immobiliser

Any help or information will be gratefully accepted
