The Fairlady due for maintenance and repairs at AutoSport

Overhauled rear brake drums and replaced wheel caps

The leaking rear wheel cylinder (both sides were leaking).

The right brake drum wheel cylinder's piston froze and had to be bored with 1000 sandpaper.

Some fine tuning :) Brake pads are finally aligned.



Lightweight polycarbonate door cover installed - grassroots motor racing at its finest!

Polycarbonate cover - lightweight and durable

Successfully tested the Osaka EO-502 oil filter on the R16 engine, maintained good oil pressure at idle and high RPM.



Installed the Borg Warner twin carb air filters. Looks great as well!

Package included all the installation accessories and was pretty straightforward in assembly and installation.

2" foam air filter was already included in the kit.

Cleaned up the oil filter cover.

Cleaned up the oil filter assembly.

Drain tube and assembly still in good condition and just needed cleaning with brake cleaner. Installation was successful with no leaks so far.
