Hey, I need some info

[Azura]

What's the diff between a Trueno, Sprinter, AE86, T series, S series, Whats it all mean?

oh and anyone know where i can pick up a Trueno?

[Monster]

Sorry

Ok, try and keep up...
A Trueno is the AE86 with pop up lights only sold in Japan/USA/New Zealand and some other damn lucky countries. The Sprinter is the first name of the Trueno in Japan/USA/New Zealand (ie- Toyota Sprinter Trueno) but what the AE86's were called here in Australia (ie Toyota Corolla Sprinter). AE86 refers to the model and engine code and will appear in your (i'm assuming) VIN number. The T series diff is what the Japan/USA/New Zealand came standard with, usually featuring disc brakes, 10 bolt diff housing and an option for a LSD. These are also available in the Aussie spec T18 and the GT model Japan/USA/New Zealand delivered AE86's. The S series is a local delivery, and unofficially stands for SHIT
Just Jap in Sydney are probably your best bet for finding a Trueno, be prepared to pay a bit, and to wait a while too.

Did I loose you?

[Azura]

Nope im still here, how much would i expect to pay for a stoko standard 86 Sprinter Trueno T series?

oh and if S stands for shit does T stand for TOPS? just wondering

[RobertoX]

aus spec = 4ac

jap spec = 4age

4age is best...

[screech]

cool cheers guys, i may just be cruisin in a 86 soon

[Sprinterboy]

dude no offence meant, but why do you want an '86' if you have no idea what they are??

[The Doc]

maybe the shape or the cartoon is appealing to him?
But I am sure you didn't know everything about your sprinter when you first bought it right?
He has to start somewhere...

These things are not made for cruising.
There for figuring out whats wrong, fixing, repairing, upgrading, fixing and repairing.

But if you like doing all that, there the most fun cars. You'll probly learn alot from it (and about cars in general) as well if you do things urself.

Goodluck!
