How the hell did you make that ;)

It certainly was not easy or cheap! :D

Visit My Website to see how i made it.

Hey that white bay up a bit - made a heap of difference painting the fuse box etc white - Great Job!

The big problem is the more you do, the more you HAVE to do, cause the poor looking bits stand out more! - Just ask Dahtone Racing! :D

Most awsome engine bay EVER and someone picked to I/C holes...

I'd give my left nut to have a nice freshly painted white engine bay. Mine engine bay paint has gone all chalky.

Ha ha yea had to do clutch, cam belt and a few other things so decided to rip the whole lot out and do it properly. I actually thought it was pretty clean till we got the motor out...

So did you remove everything from the engine bay including the brake booster and brake lines, then just cover up the steering rack etc during painting.

Also, did you just sand back the original paint for preparation.

Im looking at doing this next year.

I masked up brake booster and lines. Removed everything else. Covered rack like you said. Yep all sanded back, primed then painted including clear.

Def worth doing mate, your engine looks awesome by the way!

Thanks mate,

There's a lot of polishing there; once you polish one thing, you've gotta polish the next!

Ill definately pull my engine out again next year and paint the engine bay. I like yours because you cant really see all the wires and lines running everywhere. Thats what im going to concentrate on most; hiding alot of the wires.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
