13bke26 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 mate, I'm edging to take it out again, didnt make it to powercruise as the man "GUP" would not let it as it wasnt painted.. Yet i took photos of other cars that were even worse.. There was even a standard magna!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR KE30 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 really!! did you send a heap of pics to him ?? ive seen some real shittas at the qld one hey maybe you should have taken photos of it wet after a bath :P hes usually pretty good maybe the sydney one has a higher standard but then again why the magna??

13bke26 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 yeah sent pics of it complete with all round convos, he didnt like the patches i put on it to cover up the rust..Its going to be getting painted in the next few months, before supernats... Going to race it one or 2 more times before the paint goes on .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZ440 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 If it had that reverse scoop on board, would have been happy days, haha What colour you goin mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 hahaha the reverse scoop is now in the plans before supernats aswell, colour will still be bamboo for now.... Other news, the valve body showed up today, spoke to Paul O'neil (keas) and GZM Autos today, they said the problem was in the valvebody, the piston kept getting jammed thats why it struggled to get reverse. I was told that i am getting a full refund on the build of the valvebody for the ʞ©$ɟ around with it, should have it in on saturday, fingers crossed.. If all goes to plan and weather holds out ill be racing within 2 weeks on a cold wednesday night... Also just waiting to get the starter motor back from getting rebuilt, some parts are hard to find so thats why its taking so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 also entered sydney jamboree at the end of the month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Shame about powercruise, a mate of mine had his datsun stanza turned down as well a few years back, probably should have got it all one colour with one of those mix-up pressure packs and then covered it in baby oil to give it that nice shine! Reverse scoop hey...... maybe buy a torana? :hmm: nice work mate, great to see how quickly you hit the drags, one seriously tough corolla.

13bke26 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 going to get engineered without the turbo after jambo, then rust will be getting cut out, and then off to get painted.. :) hopefully all done by supernats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13bke26 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 gearbox is now fixed finally!! problem was the reverse pistion in the valve body was getting stuck so ended up being a warranty job for keas.. goes in all gears beautifully and i have also fixed up the thermo fan so it spins the right way, doesnt get too hot but its set at 195F so might get it lowered on the laptop.... Heading to wsid wednesday so come out and say hi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
