Hi Guys,

Just picked myself up a gti180 as a new daily. Hopefully it treats me well. Grew up in the back of 504's, 505's, 306's and 405/406's as a kid - and learned to drive in a Renault 19.

Been a huge fan of the 206 since it joined the WRC as a kid - initially wanted a GTi-6 for a long term MAxi/Dimma project, but I am very happy with this car.

Aside from that, I'm a neurophysiology Honours student at Grafton.

Usually the first dash part to disintegrate - you'll be lucky to find a secondhand one that's undamaged being sold...

anyone have this bit in rhd?

I will thank you so much!!

Hi Amy, welcome!


That engine is a TU5 with iron block and twin cam 16v head, but basic form is the same as the TU3 in a AX GT so should still fit fairly easily. For more info I'd recommend that you PM 'Don Simon' as he's recently done this engine conversion and will be able to tell you any points to note.


Cheers

Hey guys!

I grew up with datsuns, however I have a love affection with my AXGT. It blew the motor last year, also I'm looking down the path of repowering. I'm currently looking at this listing https://www.trademe.co.nz/trade-me-motors/car-parts-accessories/parts-other-makes/engines/auction-1929983532.htm

I will get a mechanic to install this, however I was hoping somebody could shed some light on what's involved with this install? Can I use my original gearbox being a main question and f the engine mounts are in the same location?

I may have to wait for a 1.4 to come up on trademe.

Kind regards,

Amy

They are not that complicated, i'm no mechanic but have found most things easy to work on.

For basic servicing you could take it to any reputable mechanic.

Anything tricky, just ask on here.
