we all know what the standard r34 engine cover looks like

this is after i went nuts with the spray can...

was gonna do the lettering in black but cbf, might do it later on

just thought it might give you people some ideas :D

looks nice man, good job :P

Seen one done in a magazine where he used the old rising sun flag as a design,

My one don't fit no more as i/c piping gets in the way, I prefer it without the cover and it probably lets the heat escape better.

Radiator air deflector would tidy up that engine bay a bit too

was that on the orange mitsu in high octane... that look niiiiice!

i personally like the engine cover, covers up the ghey looking 25.

Rb26's look nice, sadly Rb25s just look untidy and plain

nah... they just need a front facing plenum :thumbsup:

I don't mind the Neo covers when done right. Once your letters are painted it will look sweet!

Might be worth removing though, as I have, it's just another thing holding in the heat and there's plenty you can do to clean up the RB25 and make em look nice without the cover.

:D all

Great job R-Spec

What type of paint did you use? High temp resistent paint?

Did you have to sand down the surface on the cover?

used Holts dupli-color auto spray which i got from autobarn for around $12

no sanding, priming etc couldnt be f**ked with it which is why i was surprised at how well it turned out hehe.

just took off the cover gave it a good wash and dry and started spraying. even coats but more so on the dark/black bits. used up the whole can.

cheers

Yeah cuz Iam thinking of painting my inlet plenum black again cuz my mech washed it all off but didn't get the rest.

So I will probley have to thoroughly clean it to get the dirt and dust to make sure its clean as possible then paint over.

So auto barn should have it, thanks, cheers! :P

I think it was an r34 gt-t actually, but yeah can always be copied.

There's also an s15 I saw with the whole engine painted that way, very cool.

Oh, nice job btw.

P.S It would be good to paint the oil filler cap or get an aftermarket one to complete the look I guess, like I said before a radiator air deflector plate makes a pretty noticeable impact on the look of an engine bay too if you're wanting to dress it up a bit

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
