NicT's Trueno Notch (crap Hack)

Post by NicT »

Im just going to bomb this page with what ive done so far.

Ive been cruising around the site looking at everything and i have to say i wish i found this a lot sooner then i have!

I originally built a Lexu v8 1uz crown as a bit of a all round cruiser. But the itch to go sliding has always been in my veins, so i listed it up for sale so i could start building a tt131 corona or some other cheap toyota when the offer for this car poped up.

Straight swap for my crown.

Seeing as the crown cost me less then $2k US to build i swooped in on it and ended up with this:

Image

Image

Specs were,

Cuscos adjustables front,
G series Hilux diff rear
AE92 rear brake setup
W55 gearbox
A-W custom bellhousing
Chinese Dmax body kit copy
And some average wheels

So i binned 90% of the body kit and it ended up like this:

Image

Then i signed up for a learner skid day and decided my clutch was too slipper so upgraded it to a AE101 GZE flywheel, and exceedy 2200lb pressure plate and organic clutch plate

Image

Here she was 24 hours out from track day

Image

Track Day

Image

Image

Image

Image

And why at the end of the day, everyone now needs to wear helmets

Image

Image

10mph roll in super slow motion

Image

Then i got better wheels

Image

interior

Image

Flipped centres
More drifting

Image

Last owner stuffed the guard before i got it. Seeing as id rather spend my money on go before show i decided to make my own improvements to it instead of replacing it.

Image

Then i collected some bits

Image

Image

Image

Image

Bought this head off my mate

314 Duration Kelford cams, underbucket shims and Kelford valve springs

Specs here:

Image

Image

His last engine dynoed at 118kwatw with a nice big fat torque band which would make me happy

Then started pulling it apart for the swap over

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Started fabricating new inlet manifold

Image

Image

Image

and thats where i am as of today.

This weekend i hope to finish my manifold, test fit my ITBs and then move on to the exhaust.

Nah no one was hurt, guy got out and had a fest. Ambulance came over and gave him a look over, while we flipped it back on its wheels and drove it off the track
