hey all

currently in the middle of doing up my R32gtst

Im not after a car that will be 1million kws (thats what my track cars for), what i am looking for is an engine bay that is show car clean and tidy.

Im after some inspiration of what i can do, move or remove.

So far ive moved the battery to the boot, moved the fuse box under the guard, looking to move the break lines around, im thinking of moving the washer bottle and over flow but may just get items made instead. Have also cleaned a heap of holes up and currently filling seam joins etc. but its hard no i have the engine removed to see what i could have done!

any pics of clean bays? and other ideas to move / remove stuff from the bay...

Mines track car yes but not full hetik on the engine bay and relatively clean, you might see something there you think might suit

battery moved 

canisters on the right near the intake for coolant overflow and p/s fluid

brake lines are braided yes - one still runs across top

neat wiring loom and tucking it away is key

Mine is a jack of all trades master of none. It's a bit old school by today's standards but I did start the engine bay "transformation" about 17-18 years ago!

The LED light is very old school rice spec but I only added it as a temporary idea for static displays. 20190210_150846.jpegScreenshot_20190210-132511_Gallery.jpeg

......Bring back the 00's I say - neon everything!
It certainly isn't on trend, black is the new black these days, but I've never been one to follow trends.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
