Hey Guys,

Im am about to get my engine detailed/painted, before i assemble it and was hoping you would have some photos of either your own engine bay or other hot looking ones.

So come on, dont be shy, show us your engine bay so I can get some idea's, because I spent half hour going through the SAU gallery and only found a few average photos.

:D

ive done it, it is an absolute **** of a job and i wish i didnt do it, bleeding hands and all the rest, i did cam covers, timing cover, coilpack cover, top half manifold, pretty much most shit, drop me a pm with your email ill give you more details and stuff, cant post pics coz there too large, i just put a low quality pic in my galleries

Looks good ylwgtr2, is that the factory red colour that GTR's have or custom?

What do you guys reckon, do the rb motors look better with the upper cam/timing cover on or left off, mine is a vvt engine?

Less chance of mincing fingers with it on, but what looks best?

Jolinator, send your pics to my email and ill host them for you.

Anyone else send them as well and ill host them up here.

LOL...i so love thsi pic, ive been posting it up everywhere:)

Im 90% sure the engine is fine, it was a coolant leak out of the heater hose that caused all the fuss....Last i checked, about 15 seconds earlier the water temp was fine, so im not expecting any engine probs.

So no plans other then getting it back on the road...if engine dies, well yeh some things may change, i dunno yet:(

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
