This is my life.

This page is dedicated to my pride and joy named NIZOLA. It has kept me somewhat sane through the years by allowing me to put my down time into it and also work along side my Dad. If it wasn't for him, the car wouldn't be what it is today....buuut I probably would have had a hell of a lot bigger bank account right now if id kept it simple haha.

I bought this car when I was 17 in a very bone stock factory form just like it was when it rolled out of Toyota's show room in 1977 . It was a 2 speed auto, 1300cc pearler.The reason I got it was to keep me from speeding and doing dumb shit on the street as my demerit points were running low. The plan was to paint it, lower it and put some mags on it. It was to be a nice looking cruiser that would keep me out of trouble. It only lasted maybe a month before Dad and I got thinking that it could do with a re-power. This is where NIZOLA(Nissan Powered Corolla) was born.

Pictures and comments will tell the tale we went through over the 6 years it took to build. I guess it payed off, I had all my points back when it was unleashed back on the streets :)

The 09 4&Rotary nationals were held in January. I was hoping for Top Toyota honours but instead got Best Modified Interior, no complaints with that!




The ultimate dream for any car lover in New Zealand. To be featured in NZPerformance Car magazine!
