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

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
