Cue 4 and Rotary 2017, and I ticked off a personal bucket list item, put a car into a show. Then a week later was selected by Nissan NZ to display on their stand at Leadfoot 2017. Was a pretty proud moment for both. Around this time it developed an exhaust leak so figured it was the right time to install my new manifold and cams.
The Manifold went on without a hitch, however when I went to put the cams in, I thought I would be super onto it and torque the cam caps down. Turns out this is a dumb idea as the only need a 1/4 to nip them up, and I managed to strip a thread and snap a bolt. Kicked myself for it at the time but got it sorted. Once the cams were in it never really ran right so after a few weeks i put the factory ones back in. Turns out the issue was with me reinstalling the CAS at the wrong marks. Dang!
Few more pics of the paint process...
At least the inside of the motor is clean, this is what oil changes every 6 months looks like.
On display at 4nR, stupidly this was the only pic i took.
First leadfoot weekend and it was a stunner. Such a good event and a shame to see it cancelled again this year.
continued to take pictures of the car.
Picked up a pair of single piece Work Equip 01 and fell in love. While hunting for some more I tried out some longchamps
Sold the longchamps and went back to MK3s for Leadfoot 2018
Few more beauties
Managed to leave the handbrake off one day and did this
So off came the bumper
