hey guys

just wondering if you guys can recommend me to some good things to pretty up my engine bay?

a clean, polish what ever... just note the BOV and the Oil Catch Can Are no longer there, the bov pipe has been replaced with the Factory Black Piping... and the Valley cover is missing, the top pic is the most recent ...

any Ideas would be great ;)

HKS t51r, 3" titanium piping, metal flow air filter, anodoised blue cam covers, splitfire coilpacks, hks oil cap + radiator cap. 3" radiator with silicon hoses, blue vacuum lines, polished inlet plenum.... thats just for starters. :cheers:

nah seriously, clean the engine bay first, and blow all the water away with compressed air if you can. clean everything, everything on the strut towers and firewall aswell. polish up your cam covers with some fine sand paper and metal polish... if your keen you can do the same with the plenum. all black hoses, wipe over with armour-all, ud be suprised how much difference this makes... do it to everything thats black.

and generally just tidy thing up, any hoses that can be run out of sight makes everything look neat. coloured vacuum lines do look good, but dont get cheap ones as they will suck in when they get hot. even though they are pretty, try and run them as out of sight has you can.

also, take the battery out and clean up under as there is some missing paint there, give that a bit of a touch up...clean the battery aswell.

if you have the time, start at 1 corner and work your way around...and if anyone tells you that its a dumb idea tell em to get stuffed...theres nothing wrong with wanting a clean and tidy engine bay...it doesnt mean your a ricer.

cheers

      RB26 turbo oil banjo bolts

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
