    I’m a boomer who owned a first and second generation Nissan (Datsun) Z. The GR86 gives me the same vibe. I want this car… as soon as it is available in a Hakone Green edition. Sarah… this “on location” review is every bit as well-produced as your “studio” versions. Well done! 👍

It also tracked better than any car I had driven up to that point. Once you centered it in the lane, one barely had to adjust the wheel to keep it on course! 😉

    That copper cylinder under the oil filter is an oil cooler with coolant circulating through it. It’s only purpose is to prevent the oil overheating when doing laps on track, but it has the added benefit of warming the oil from a cold start. It wasn’t on the old generation, but was a needed mod for going on the track.

    For the curious, short track stock car builders in the know tip the radiator 5 to 7 degrees so that the air glances off the fins as it passes through, increasing the cooling efficiency significantly. Straight up mounted radiators pass the air through with less contact with the aluminum fins between the tubes and will run hotter. Water to air and air to air both have the same effect when you tip them

    Thank you for the review. You completely underestimate how well your "track talk" helped review the 86. The fact that you had so much fun ripping it on the track instead of talking about it, shows what a fun car it is! Major selling point.
    My question is what badge do you want on the front do you want on the one you eventually buy?

    Going to see a lot of reviews for these today.... I really want one. I just wrecked my frs a week ago. Need to get something quicker.

    Thanks, Sarah, I appreciate a review from a woman, I’m 50 and I’m ordering this car in a few weeks and this has solidly my decision. (I live in Canada, so no sense getting it until May, it takes 3 months to get one if you buy/build it to your specifications.). Great job showing this car. 💕
