“Photographer Glen McNamara checks out the V 4&Rotary Nationals show and shine!”
The V 4&Rotary Nationals held every year in New Zealand, is the most iconic Japanese tuning car show in the southern hemisphere. People travel from all over to get involved in the event, and project car owners usually use the date as D-day for their builds — whether it's six months from the project start date or six years.
Our man Glen McNamara made the trip along and scoped out some cool race car looking beasts for you all to look at.
It's a tough choice, but we're picking Jared Croft's Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R Pandem build as our favourite streetcar and Iain Clegg's ST Hitec R35 drag machine as the craziest race car, which .will pack a billet, stroked VR38 engine with over 2500hp!
An honourable mention must be made to Philip Huynh for completing his White KFC-themed MX-5 build. Powered by a 200kW at the wheels 1UZ-FE engine, it is most certainly no slouch either. More on this in an upcoming feature.
Below are some of our favourite racers from the show and shine:
