[ManicVJ]

Hi everyone, have just finished importing this!








1986 JDM Sprinter Trueno


184,XXX Km
TRD Coilovers all round
TRD Swaybars F+R
Strut braces F+R
Factory Sunroof
AC Climate Control
TRD 'Sports' Seats (VERY nice seats)
Nardi 'Torino' Wheel
Genuine 14" Wantanabes + Nuts
Custom Exhaust


Can't think of anything else currently.


Fully imported and HUGE THANKS to Pramodh! (Pro K), without him none of this could have happened, he has helped find me a brand new Trueno basically, went far above and beyond my expectations.
If you want one a nice Sprinter I honestly cannot recommend Pramodh enough, he really knows all there is to know about these cars. Patience is key. Was a real pleasure to get the chance to shake his hand upon picking up the car, is a real genuine person and again was great to deal with.


It looks and drives like it has just rolled off the showroom floor, ZERO rust, no accident history whatsoever. Car still had 6 months rego on it when it was put in for auction.
Owner was obviously very caring for this car, paint is perfect and still has the JDM wax ;D Plastics are brand new condition, service history etc.


Came with a high ratio (4500rpm @ 105km/h!) diff but found another boxed in the boot when it arrived off the boat, have it being checked currently for hopefully a lower ratio. Have been told it's basically a brand new diff, never been used which is interesting.


I have done a full Zenki exterior conversion to the car using all brand new genuine parts from various sellers on this forum. Massive shout out to 'SC Auto Parts' for a majority of the parts on there. Originally looked like this:








Picked it up from Pro K in Melbourne and undertook the 1200km drive home to country NSW. Passed the dish :P





But took the trip like a champ, ran like a dream and was surprisingly good on fuel considering the high ratio. Used no oil whatsoever and no questionable noises coming from anywhere.


Will post more updates soon, comments, suggestions and questions welcome!

I know this word is some-what over used , but that thing looks MINT !!!!!!! I know it is a bit rude to ask , but in round figures what has it cost to get this magnificent condition car to your front door ?

Love your seats!

This is magic

[johl]

thats amazing, its just me but i wish you had put redlines on it

[ManicVJ]

At the very least 20k+ mate, ended being a lot more in the end, was prepared for that though. Very happy in the end get what you pay for (to a degree!), especially when you know what you're looking for.

I love the seats, very comfortable and deep, extremely OEM, everyone asking if they are stock seats Even tilt forward to let passengers in!

Not a huge fan of the red lines, going against the norm I know! But always liked the way the Sprinter tails have twin lights and blend with the panda scheme, the fact they are brand new is a plus, used to seeing faded/broken pairs but these look much nicer

Thanks for the kind words all really enjoying it, put all new stock bulbs in the cluster/AC panel yesterday and cleaned the resistor contacts for the illumination knob, much nicer now as you can see in the above pics cheers.

Even at 20k -- it is a good investment , good original Panda 86's will be worth a pretty penny in the future. DRIVE HER , ENJOY HER , LOOK AFTER HER . I recon that if you hang on to her for some time ,the value will go past your purchase costs . Great find !!!!!!!!!!!

Fixed the bumpers fitment today, had to adjust the brackets to suit. Now sitting very flush.

Here is a couple of shots alongside my AE92 SX this afternoon, had to clean out the shed tbh
