Trueno AE86 Questions

naniokore SG

Hiya people,

Just got back to using my 86 recently. I'm not too sure about the shift points and stuff. Anybody can teach? Btw, my engine isnt changed yet. So can appreciate if people can tell me the shift points for before and after engine change.

And another thing, I saw this guy playin Akina using an 86 today. His method of drifting (or power sliding Wink ) was to turn the corner while in gear 5. Then halfway thru the turn he'll downshift to gear 4, and then back to gear 5 again a couple seconds after he exits the corner. Any of you 86 drivers do that?

My method is to down shift, brake and then make the turn. Well, oshiete kudasai Very Happy

Saw this at the arcades over here in Melbourne. I'll go check up on his nick and post it here, not that it'll make a diff rite? Very Happy

I have seen some other people do that for AE86. I think the reason is to get more power to the rear wheels during the turn so as to push the rear end of the car away from the side and round the turn.

Quite a dangerous thing to do since at the point of downshifting, speed is turned into power and if your car is not aligned properly, this method is more likely to push your car into the side rather than out of the turn.

Don't bother dragging the gears till 11K RPMs. For version 3, shift at 10.5K instead. Not sure about the actual shift points though.

im starting a trueno this weekend so i need to know the shift points before and after the engine change pls... Smile

jb_koala SG

ha ha... lemme tell u, this car might seem fun to use. but it's not, no power, tough handling and TONS of sliding.
moi shift points - 8>9.75>10.5>10.5

It's not that hard, just that you've to anticipate to counter-steer at the exits of corners. Borrowed a 300k tuned Trueno from a friend, and did Akina DH dry with a 3'07. This is really Akina's car. I'll be playing it UH the next time i go to the arcade.

jb_koala SG

akina UH is slightly different. it more understeer on uphill…

sigh, just change my tires accidentally yest….yolk tires now. and my timing got slower leh. So sian. Any idea which tire is good??

Matr|x SG

Get used to the tires. =D u will fine out with tire is good for what track.

LH83 SG

Hm… anyone know which exhaust and wheels are good for the Trueno?? And I think I also changed my brakes… is that even possible??

Matr|x SG

Brakes and wheels are changed together. Try wannabee full black tires. good grip and nice drift (not too much thought)
Exhaust using InitialD exhaust. Original.
