1986 build Japanese market Trueno.

225,xxx.

$10,000.

Owned since 2007. Purchased whilst I lived in Japan. Modifications have been done in order to improve but not detract from the spirit of the car. It was bought with stock suspension and engine so I assume it hadn't been tracked, and I haven’t tracked it. It’s only been driven as a reliable daily. Exterior and interior in good condition for a 27 year old car. AE111 Blacktop conversion at 19,5xxx. Before installation, all engine seals were replaced, head was ported and valves reseated, new water and oil pump and a new radiator was fitted. Running stock ECU for factory reliability. Suspension was also upgraded at 19,5xxx. Front coilovers with Swift springs front and rear, TRD front sway bar and all bushes replaced. Complied and registered as a two seater. In the rear seat well a false floor houses the battery, sub and speaker amps and an 8in Alpine Type R sub in a custom fibreglass box. It had air conditioning but the compressor was removed to fit the Trust oil cooler. The condenser and pipes are still in the car and I have the compressor, so if one wished the air conditioning can be refitted.

Bits and pieces;

AE111 Blacktop conversion

Trust exhaust manifold

HKS catalytic converter

Trust oil cooler

Front coilovers

Swift springs front and rear

TRD front swaybar

Cusco camber tops

2 way LSD of unknown brand

Steering rack spacer

Hayashi and Longchamps, both 14x8 with negative offset

Carbon Fibre bonnet

One piece alloy rear strut brace (not shown in pictures)

R32GTR seats

Nardi steering wheel

TRD gear knob

Defi tachometer

Pioneer CD player with iPhone and USB capability

2x Sony amps

Alpine Type R sub and speakers

It still had the factory Apex wheel arch molds when I bought it. I haven’t had the time to fill and paint the holes left by their removal. There is a small amount of rust in the left rear wheel arch. The front bar has significant stone chips and is in need of repainting. Dash has the inevitable crack. Air conditioning control fascia has a hole in it.

The car will not be sold with a roadworthy certificate.

Registered in SA. Car currently with me in Townsville, QLD. Can show the car in more detail on Skype for interstate buyers.

I am happy to organise shipping to anywhere within Australia.

Have a look at my parts for sale post (when I get around to writing it) for things like rear hatch spoiler, original door cards, rear seats and carpet, Defi gauges, parts to get the air conditioning working, original 16v engine, original suspension, original power steering rack, etc.

Since posting this ad in two days I've been inundated with inquiries, which leads me to the conclusion that the initial price I put on the car was not what it was worth. I don't want to rip anyone off, but more so I don't want to short change myself so the price has been changed to $13,000.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
