The Levin to Trueno conversion..

[Dillon Mac]

I've been thinking for quite a while now, ADM Sprinter and if I decide to go for one, wanna get it done before my paintjob.. Btw has anyone done it and had first hand experience.. Any problems encountered I may need to look for if I do it.. Cause I'm no sparky.. Or panel beater.. I also heard that I will need a new Rad Support to fit a JDM Trueno Bumper to my car.. My current rad support is mangled so if I do fix it up should I fit another rad support from another car to work with a Trueno Bumper? Any cars use the same rad support if so?

I also should ask does it look good when done properly? Cause I may not have the resources to hunt down Trueno tail lights and so on straight away, but then I'm only fussed about the front lights anyway.. I asked about this earlier but I am really after an opininion this time wether it's worth it or not..

Thanks for your opinions for those that leave any..

it looks good, you don't need the rear, because the rear looks the same,
so if uve got money to blow on a trueno front and paint job, why not blow it on a 4ag?
just wondering

it's a straight bolt on/wire up. ae86hachiroku has a conversion kit on here for sale for 2g's. all you need is the relays which you can order from toyota.



I personally think truenos are ugly but each to their own

I used to think trueno's wer fugly
but nowadays I like em more than levin fronts,
wow 2 grand, I guess that sounds about right,
lights should be pretty simple, you shouldnt have to cut up your dash anyway

[Dillon Mac]

I'm wondering about switchs and buttons that go on the dash or does it wire up to the norm ADM headlight/parker switch? Cause I don't think ADM sprinters would have come with little holes you can poke your fingers through that were ment for Trueno flip lights lol

No I'm a bit short on cash but saving atm.. Was asking before I blow my next bundle on a paint job if I should get the Trueno conversion first.. $2g is still a bit expensive for me, I have expensive rust problems on my flare and door jams not including my new axle problem.. But this is my speculations atm

[pebbles]

hmm, fix diff, get s series, fix motor, it might not be that screwed, may just be out of time/in need of a bit of reconditioning.
then drive the thing!....slowly, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves now do we
in the mean time, spend a bit of cash on making it look a lil nicer, asin rust!
and use "Google" and the search option on this site to find information about 4age swaps
then 4age it!

[Dillon Mac]

A 4age will be going in.. But I want it to look respectable (paint) and before paint is the conversion.. a 4AC is fine enough for me until I get the guts and the knowledge to attempt a engine swap.. I'm no mechanic either but I can fit tyres!

I've now gone to bed.. Will check topic tommorrow arvo

AJPS has all the parts you need as there is a trueno there that is being parted out, you can get all the parts you need to do it properly.

or just buy the whole car minus the parts that are already off it

thank you

it's not that hard, you can't really f**k any thing up, get a few mates and you will have it in in a hour or so, just the hard thing is getting some on to wire it all up.

I can't fit tyres but I put a t motor in a car that came with a k motor and it wasn't hard at all,

I was short on funds so it took me ages
