Finished My Engine Bay At Last......

[thizzle]

yeah a stock gtr that your gts will rip to bits...its a bigger deal to have a monster gts i say...nice work man...time for a new bonnet tho...

[Johnny Cash]

thanks for the comments, yea i no i could have had a r34 gtr and a half, but once i start on something i like it done properly next step is to run the engine in and i am hoping to get in the 9 sec bracket if it hooks up. and one word of advice dont try and do a six port direct injection it works out way to expensive for what its worth , i had to put the nossles under the plenium i did want them on top but the fuel rail is in the way....well i did drive it back from the workshop and its f**kn loud it will be good to go on a cruise so if anyones keen pm me we can work out a date to meet up....

Fair enough. As long as you love it, that's all that matters.

I'm envious of someone who loves their car that much. I can't settle on which car to have - I want em all!

well it has been 7 months but i have finally finished my engine bay and drive gear. now she has a 6 speed trust dog box, 4'' dump pipe straight through,single piece tail shaft, new suspension as you can see i ts a little low at the moment , nitros set up is complete, all thats left is a paint job....

Fark me, its been a while since we met up to pick up those seats off ya. And wow... car looks hot as. Is this the same one that was in your driveway when we met up?

Lovely front bar, is that custom or an off the shelf item that retains the factory fog lights?

[Roy]

Now tell all the nice people how much a setup like this costs, and about the R34 GT-R you could have had for the same money if not cheaper.

Sorry buddy, but I've crunched the numbers, and nice as it is, unless you're selling drugs, it ain't worth it.

LOL...say the same thing about a guys girlfriend and you would get a fat lip

My thinking, The Golden rule...."Its his gold, so he makes the rules"

Pretty schmick i say, lets see a manual GTST pull a 9, all the best with it

i hope to see most of u at mini jam on the 25th march at willowbank..

hey mate awesome looking motor/bay, just a couple of questions.

are the radiator top brackets chromed? and is the power steering pump chromed or polished ally (though im 99% sure they are only steel)? and rocker covers polished or chromed?

so how much is your braided line and fittings bill i wonder mines nearly 1200 bucks and mines no where as much line as yours.

cheers mate and all the best with it good to see some rb25s highly modified for a change

so does all that shiny shit in the bay make it go faster?

[bigcarl]

bling! bling! awesome car man!!!

give the the guy some credit, and its nice to see decent engine bays in skylines as 99% of em look like plain jane shit, or a smarties packet of painted bits.

shiny bits rule, and are well worth it unless u want it to look like a shitta :lol:

[StockyMcStock]

i'll give him credit for having too much money to spend on a car!

unless u want it to look like a shitta

that, sir, is the main object of certain people's builds. mine, in particular.

If it looks right, normally things are done right. If it looks like puss (LOL, my engine bay) then normally corners have been cut

[bigcarl]

sorry but im being sincere, i totally agree with you. i just wish i had the money to do so. yours looks very tuff as well. i think 400rwkws must be the new 300rwkws! everyone ones seems to be bolting on t51rs.

id much rather the show/profesional look that the backyard painted bits style with rubber hoses and shitty clamps everywhere. i goto local car shows and peoples cars who are entered have some of the most disgraceful engine bays ive ever seen, and they shouldnt even be allowed to open em unless they are clean/neat.

each to their own

[predator]

very nice... obviously a lot of time and effort was put in for the details, and it shows.

[krzysiu]

Wish my engine bay looked like that.

Yours is all chrome and mine is all dusty with a cm of dirt

[campbell]

yea i stripped the power steer pump right down and got every bit cromed along with the altinater cam covers pulleys harmonic balancer engine mounts and brackets , waterpump outlet and with all the bolts i got them done in gold crome just to set it off . with the crome brading it was well ova 3k with the fittings every line is braded right down to the boost line and line to the blow of valve. i even did my fuel lines also the brake lines are braid. it was very time consuming but i reckon it looks neater in the end and beats painting shit that flakes off in a week.

[TTT]

hmmm...

I see you have a few more mods than a cat back and hks pod filter..

good stuff.

[Remix-]

Well done dude! Your car looks absolutely awesome and I am sure it's going to run absolutely awesome! It is great to see that you have stuck with your guns and finished the product. Enjoy the rewards now
