TMCA have been communicating with Japan since the orders started rolling in thick and fast after the price announcment about receiving a larger allocation and in recent times changing the split of production to receive more manual GTS builds than the current equal share amongst the 4 variations. Must have had a small win

That is really good news!! thanks DAN, however my tracking still says Still to be confirmed with no scheduled production month ((

Yeah I went with the private sale for the extra cash, luckily supra's are easy to sell. Just wait for fast and the furious 1 to be on TV then sell it the next day.

It probably won't update anyones orders until early next week. The batch matching and build requests are usually completed around this time every month (20th/21st) so some lucky SOB's may get some good news in the next week. Others may have to wait till next month to see if there is any change. The first additional allocation is still pretty tight on GTS manuals, so that waiting list may not reduce substantially at this stage, but i have every peripheral on my body crossed lol

No word yet on whether these extra allocations will be based on the order bank, or just allocated to dealers in order of weight group etc...

Tracking our Car Across The Seas :)

Found it ..
Anyone who is obsessive as me about tracking their new car!!

my best guess by putting together all the information on the net is that the
"PLEIADES LEADER"
is the cargo ship delivering our Toyota 86/ Subaru BRZ
NYK line are toyota's main transport company(after alot of research)

and by lookin at the current maritime schedule i can see the next shipment is supposed to arrive in Brisbane Today, port kemblar(sydney) on saturday the 22nd and Melbourne the day after.. maybe Monday the 24th arrival

port kemblar schedule listed here
http://www.kemblaport.com.au/?page=2&action=movement



Anyway Use this link to track the current location of our cars off the COAST
Delivery Imminent OOHHHHH YEAAHH

Not sure on that one bud. My order was lodged on June 24th, and I don't have production dates yet either.

It was probably luck of the draw for some of those that ordered around the same time, or just after and have already received production details. There are lots of complexities in the system regarding restrictions on transmission vs colour vs model etc. Some people have accidental impeccable timing with car orders. I am confident without getting my hopes up too much that those who ordered within a 10 day period of the wholesale date (june 18th) will receive good news in the next couple of months.

Mine has already definitely been pushed out to at least december, and will find out next week if it's bumped again till next year. At this stage of the game, knowing I'm still at least 4months away from sitting in the seat, i'm liking the fact it's a 2013 build not a 2012
