  1. The problem with these old KE30's and KE55's are the rear end with Leaf Springs otherwise they are a well rounded race car. Slip a 3.9 bogwarner diff into the housing and reverse a couple leafs on the back but keep the back level. It might pay to get a new set of hilux shocks on the rear end as they are more suited to lower ride height. Just keep it simple and don't let your kid forget its only for fun. Once they think its a chore its time to pull out.
  2. Whens the last time you had a reshell? It pays to get 'em reshelled if you have had a nasty crash as they never handle the same. Good that NASR opened diff ratios now hey?
  3. Why do I love my rolla? Its smooth,sexy shape and the ability to have the shit absolutly thrashed out of them and STILL run like a dream. You tell me a car that is all of the above and i'll show you a fast datsun :)
  4. So Dan any progress? All us SA boys are really interested in fitting the older 3ks with later model heads. :)
  5. I guess these top speeds are only managable with an EXTREMLY LONG STRAIGHT road with some of the Hp level the poor old rollas have.... It'd have to be a private road to :)
  6. speedway rolla says " Drop a race motor in there!" lol I would'nt of thought a Ke30 would be too hard to get over there it seems every street i take i see a K- series corolla...anyway good find.
  7. "I'll ya a hundred bucks for it" :) Nah mate good find and good luck.
  8. Hey, I was surfing the internet when i stumbled upon this little page. It will give you your definate top speed of your car. It's a little too-bad its in imperial but its a page worth posting none the less. http://www.bgsoflex.com/rpmmph.html Type in your diff ratio, gearbox ratio and tire diameter (in inches) and you'll be set up with your cars top speed. (e.g if my diff ratio was 4.11 and using a K40 gearbox in 4th with a tire diameter of 30.49 inches my final speed would be 284.793 km/h :) ) Anyway just a little knowledge.
  9. Yeah any help from the rollaclub community on heads that bolt onto a 3K would be appreciated.
  10. Ok, this is mainly for the junior sedan part of the site but anyway it is news worth publishing. The DIFF Ratios for ALL junior sedans are OPEN same with GEARBOX ratios also any HEAD bolting onto the original 3K Block without mods is now consitored LEGAL. If you need some links and/ or information about this matter. This site is the formal NASR site. http://www.speedwaysedans.com/default.asp?...elease&Id=19366 There's a link there to a guy named Peter Harris in Alice Springs and he'll give some info if ya need it. Keep racing my brotheriens :thumbsup:
  11. I've mostly got small one's but the one i do have is from jumping the neighbours fence and slipping...........onto a damn sharp steel edge and the end result was a scar on my right chin. This was all when i was five and they had to restain me at the hospital because i was still afraid of needles. Damn dirty doctor :thumbsup:
  12. G'day, Its Possible but the KE30 came with the Banjo (japanesse) diff. Whereas the KE70s came with borg warner. I think the 30's gear ratio is 4.11 and the 70s is either a 4.11 or 3.9. With all he tinkering you'd have to be doing a simple visit to the wreckers with $40 in your hand for a KE70 diff would be easier. Cheers
  13. OHHHHHHHhhhhhhh......your my long lost brother.......75K for u 75k for me.
  14. G'day, I've had one of the wierdest days in my life. A thing happened thats gonna change my life forever. My Grandparents just won $150,000 in the lotto :faq: Anyone else have an unusaul day today? *edit* btw happy D-day
  15. How many people can you fit in their? :(
  16. Just a god damn shame. ( runs to lock the patrol)
  17. What model corollas were these?
  18. I'd go for the custom in-the-spare-wheel-space tank if it was for the right price.........you'd have to look how many litres you want your tank to carry as well.
  19. Pretty much, have a look under your (lowered prob)55 and see how much room is their....pretty much nothing. I really doubt if you'll get a stock tank underthere with no body adjustments.
  20. Having a look at the our '55 rally car out the back...... i think the only way ur gonna fit it under the car is by removing or placing it where the spare tire is.........unless you get it custom fitted
  21. Mmk..............(runs off to get Ke30 doors)...........
  22. I've already got two of the ghia doors in my "workshop" now. From what i can see the electrics on the old falcon's pretty simple. The only hard part would be custom fitting all the big falcon mechanicals from the door into a nimble corolla door. I'll pick up the other two ghia doors tomorrow plus 4 Ke30 doors (lets hope to god 1 of the windows aint busted) and i'll take some pics. With what i spent on these falcons are peanuts of what you guys are usaully playing with so it would be a pretty cheap (if time consuming) tranformation. *edit* btw this WOULD require cutting open the 'rolla door and fitting out
