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

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
