You need to make sure you retain the one way valve on the PCV. (on the side of the rocker cover). You can change the top two oil breather hoses without any dramas. I had threads welded on however you can get the Earls finishers if you are only after the hose end look.

Where do you put the fuse box when you hide the wiring?

Also, what do you do with the metal brake lines coming from the ABS; do you get them powder coated or something, or do you just leave them with that wierd green coating on them.

Im gonna seriously tidy up my engine bay next year.

there are two choices for the fuse box (depends on the budget of the customer)

1. in the guard (under where the battery would normally sit)

2. inside the car

this car doesn't have ABS

but with brake lines we can make complete new ones from pipe or braided hose

also the stock ones can be chromed or painted or what ever the customer wants

Here's my RB25 in a torana engine bay. I was thinking about getting the cam covers painted the same colour as the car, but it may look gay...dunno yet. What do you guys think?

It's funny how there seems to be more room in here than a skyline engine bay, but once you get near the chassis rails it's very tight..

Its gets done with other cars. So I dont see why not. Most Likely Wont come up as good.

Just Use Liberal Amounts of Towel and masking tape and a small spray gun like one with a 200ml pot or smaller to get it in to all the small places.

that looks really good. I would just go black on the cam covers though. Engine bay paint looks really well done. Who did it.

If your taling about my car, It was painted by a local painter in woonona. The colour itself is the secret. Kinda glows in the right light. You should see this colour near snow... :P

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
