[sunil]

hi guys just purchased my trueno by px my 93 trueno with a bit of cash, i think i got a good deal apart from the paintwork cos it needs a respray.

its a 1986 trueno gtv, yea no electric windows or power steering.

current spec

-engine standard apart from trd leads
-trd short shift
-trd internal gearbox, never heard of it, didn't know they did it, so can anyone confirm.
-trd 2 way lsd but seller couldnt confirm this, can i tell without opening this up.
-15" legion club wheels, wud look ok with refurb.
-adjustable trd rear shocks, bumpy.
-camber adjustment.
-omoni gauges in custom enclosesure where radio goes, oil temp, oil press, water temp.

thats it, wot u guys think, pics dont show how bad bodywork is













i'll get some better pics.


NEED TO KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO CHANGE THE DIALS TO MPH COS MINE ARE IN KMH :mad:

Welcome!
Very nice GTV!
And don't forget: the less stuff on your car the better!
PS is not really necessary for the AE86 unless you have 205 tirewidth on the front wheels.

They probably mean that the internals of the gearbox are switched for TRD parts. That's probably easy to verify: just compare the revs/speed per gear with the OEM revs/speed and the ones which were available from TRD. They are most probably in the TRD Bible.

Since you have a analogue cluster it is easy to switch to MPH: just find a kouki (late model, with the white stripes) gauge cluster and everything should be just fine.

any idea what this cluster looks like, have you got a pics

i believe mine is a kouki model, wots the zenki then, how is mine a kouki?

205 width tires wud be mad, i dont even have power steering

kouki is later model, zenki is older model

I still drove mine happily with 195.

Zenki is the older car spec, kouki newer. Your cluster has vertical white stripes and white gauges (you know, the needles that move) which makes it newer. Older clusters don't have the white stripes and feature clear gauges.
They are a little bit different in speed adjustments, so they should not show the speed correctly if you exchange them.

Also be aware that left hand drive clusters don't fit right hand drive clusters: the connectors and speedo cable are mirrored.
