NicT's Trueno Notch (crap Hack)

[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:





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:



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



Here she was 24 hours out from track day



Track Day









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





10mph roll in super slow motion



Then i got better wheels

Flipped centres

More drifting



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.



Then i collected some bits









Bought this head off my mate

314 Duration Kelford cams, underbucket shims and Kelford valve springs

Specs here:

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











Started fabricating new inlet manifold







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.

looks good......... and 10mph rollover was funny, hope no one was hurt..

[NicT]

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

[NicT]

Misses took some photos on her D90 which are far more dope then my cellphone pics:











An Den






Stoked on my welds, getting better at tig welding the ole stainless




My sweet bobo-fet mask


New cam gears and socket mounted degree wheel.

[NicT]

Cheers dude, just doing my exhaust atm. Then i have to look at setting my cam timing and plastergauging my pistons to see if stuff will touch...

[NicT]
