The inside and general tidyness makes me want to strip mine to pieces and re-paint everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedRac3r Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Cheers guys. Have done a few track days in it (fixing shit in between days haha), but I should probably drive it more often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M M Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I like what you've done. I'm sure I've seen this car before as well somewhere. Sorry to see the accident damage but at least it happened because you were using it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Good to see you on here man. Makes me want to dig my 85 out of the shed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbaines Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 How much was the rear water housing from Toyota? Wonder if I can get the head outlet housing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedRac3r Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Not sure if you can buy just the rear housing, but it comes when you buy the water pump. Cant remember exact figures but $100-140 seems right. Cant get the head outlet from Toyota any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbaines Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Bliss, might go to toyota and pickup a water pump unit then. Shame about the heat outlet though, quite hard to find those by themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Did you have it at taupo this weekend? how'd it go? I need to get to one of those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachlander Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Jealous of fab skills. How much power you make with the turbo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedRac3r Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Did you have it at taupo this weekend? how'd it go? I need to get to one of those days. Yeah I made the trip down, was a good day! I wasn't driving properly for the two sessions in the morning, then decided to man up and drove like I should and it was all good! Had the banjo bolt for the wastegate fall out so didnt have any high boost, 160kw wasnt quite enough to grab fourth on the exit. Heres a quick clip Jealous of fab skills. How much power you make with the turbo? Cheers mate. Back then with T25 it made a 115kw, probably one of those low reading dyno's... It gained 35kw, but it felt like alot more than that haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedRac3r Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah, would of liked to been able to bang 4th on the apex of the sweeper, Ill locktite these wastegate banjos in from now on and have crack at it on high boost.

Yeah Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Saw this on Facebook the other day and didn't connect the dots until your last update. Looks great. http://www.themotorhood.com/themotorhood/2013/3/28/1985-toyota-levin-simply-clean-194 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedRac3r Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Yup same car, Peter from NZPC (at the time) had his datsun at Grants shop at the same time I had mine there, so he was keen to feature when he saw it all "finished". Made heaps of changes since that photoshoot, so I'll continue updating and get it to present day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
