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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
