Thinking of painting the rocker covers and crossover pipe VHT anodised red. Got a red silicone breather hose kit and new rocker cover gaskets on the way.

Does anyone paint the crossover pipe? Maybe I should make it gloss black or silver?

Also anyone paint the intake plenum collector? I might try masking the surroundings and paint while in the engine seeing I don't know how to remove it.

i highly recomend removing it. paitning anything while in the engine bay will be a total mess, it just cannot end up looking good especially if its not clenaed properly.

not hard to remove or just get a mechanic or someone with a bit of knowhoe to remove it with you, best way to learn stuff.

Sure sounds good. There are two bolts under the throttle body that look pretty tough to remove. Might have a crack at some stage.

      @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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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?
