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.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
