Valve covers are off – camshafts look fairly good. MRP turbo manifold testing.

There was a reason behind this pic but I’ve forgotten it

Trying to figure out if I have stock camshafts

That 212 in the casting made me wonder – stock camshafts are 232° if I remember correctly, but then again, it could be 272 (TRD camshafts). Measuring the cam lobe finally told me that I was dealing with stock shafts. Woo-hoo.

Tried to catch an artsy picture, but failed. Thanks again HTC! 😀

This one is failed too:

…and the failblog continues. I tried to catch some in-flight pictures of the gauges (Currently water temp, oil temp and oil press – in red – on the dash) but the phone didn’t like the overall darkness.

I think I’m turning back to green gauges. For some reason it looks better.

Some pictures

Maladar’s photo (I slightly photoshopped it) 🙂 Maladar’s Nissan K11 inside our garage.

One of my pictures (damn those Sodium lamps, absolutely the worst light to take pictures ever)

Gauges and interior. Some photoshopping so no-one guesses where I was driving. 🙂 Removed the clock and installed couple of AEM gauges in place. Rest of the gauges are Pivot Compo-X. Heater controls are missing some buttons because I changed the bulb inside to LED and couldn’t remember the correct order anymore. Slight violet hue in the gauges is just in the picture. My camera doesn’t have preset white balance for sodium lamps.
