    love the black top. since driving me AE82 twincam i always thought the 4AGE's needed a 6speed. after getting the BZR i know they need it. great choice for an engine swap mate.

    Is the AE111 Trueno sold in Australia or did you get it imported?

    Only thing I'm worried about with the blacktop swap is the lack of replacement/maintence parts avaliable here in the US.

    bought mine from an importer in brisbane. guy before me asked him to find an auto and a manual and so the importer got one of each and the dude took the auto. had no idea what he was looking at the fool. but worked out well for me though.
    not an australian delivered model. if you gunna get a black top make sure you know that the computers have been known to burn holes in themselves. as for parts probly look for a half-cut.

    We have a guy that does excellent wiring harness conversions (dr. tweek) so I'm not too worried about that part. But it is near impossible to find clips here anymore. Most importers like to ship them as engine sets so they dont have to ship the sheet metal.

    I'd love to leagalize a AE111 BZ-R but I already put a lot of work into my current chassis.
