1985 TRUENO GT APEX

[leigh]

Bad luck on the MOT but at least you now know what needs fixing. White is the way forward with twams

[dugong]

Someone put me right on the AE86 model.

I knew about the 4A GZE transplant Bunta did in Initial D, that was from an AE 101 Trueno, with a 20V head.

But how many years was the AE 86 a current type? I only ask because Itsuki buys an Eight Five and gets the curse word ripped out of him. Is that because it's a AE82 or something else?

Aaargh. I know nothing, please explain

[koh]

itsukis one is the 1500sr model not gt apex iirc
4agze is the supercharged engine btw

I think it was Madge Bishop and Harold and they sold the car to Dirty Den

Seriously cool car and deffo on my list to own (just below Sierra RS Cosworth) I would kill for an AE86!

[nickteabag]

Seriously cool. How did you go about locating the car in Japan if you didn't use a dealer in the uk?

Will be watching this closely

[tetsujin]

In Inital D he never put in a 4agze whe put in a late spec AE111 Blacktop 20v 4age.

And it was a race crate engine!

And the AE85 doesnt have a 1500cc engine its a single cam, 1600cc engine based on the same bottom end as the 4age but with the single cam and is carb not injection



Why are you painting the boo and the engine bay BLACK???

[pac1982]

sorry for this 'correction', but the AE85 in Japan has a 3A-U engine, which is a 1500cc OHC engine

nick,i have contacts in japan usa and australia for cars and parts

tetsujin,i didnt want to do it white,whites a mare to keep clean and black will show up the polished stuff well

pac1982 can you drift it without blasted up the tofu? i have no idea what that means lol

mot passed and waiting on registration to come through

[BenzBoy]

Nice car! Welcome to RR
I think I'd get locked up if I had that car as I reckon I'd kill the 526th person who mentioned "Initial D" ;D

[koh]

lol tell me about it

[koh]

well today i did a few little bits to it,rebuilt the shifter mech as the rubber boot had come off and loads of nasyness was packed in tight
repainted the metal wind deflector strips that were looking a bit weather beaten,i also repainted the wiper arms and a few underbonnet brackets
i also put a kenwood usb headunit,oh and i polished the tailpipe he he

i cant keep my hands off this car for more than a few hours

[SparksECM]

awesome looking car, an '86 is on my list of must own cars for the future. Good luck with it and look forward to seeing you evolve it

[koh]

well ive needed to do some bits to her now
the first time i took it out the rad top bit split so i ordered a new one and fitted some fresh new sillicon hoses at the same time
then i had to change both handbrake cables(ok this was more wanted to than needed),once it was fixed for 5 mins it decided to seize the other back caliper on me so tomorrow it gets new wheel bearings and calipers on the back end,new lsd juice and gearbox oil,and a decat ive got for it
lights are typicaly 80s rubbish so ive got to sort that out,think i will get new raybrig lenses and improve the wiring to get the best voltage to them

AE85 is 3A-U 1500cc powered buddy, you're thinking of the US and Australian spec AE86's which unfortunately for them were powered by 4A-C 1600cc carb engines.

It's my understanding that AE85 was only available in Japan, whereas AE86 was available in many markets (to varying specs).

Front bumper has a Chargespeed or Bomex look about it.

Either way, it suits it and lovely looking car.

[Ether]

Very nice

[The Big Yin]

nice car mate bar the front bumper

I have 2 front bumpers for my trueno

this one which is standard i do have a splitter for it just not fitted at the Mo



and this one which is aftermrket and suits the car very well, i think the standard one leaves thing looking a bit empty if you know what i mean?
