NorthWestZ31 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 what can be removed to clean up my engine bay? i want a better looking - more clean motor also would be a nice weight reduction even if its a small one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators RTz Posted January 22, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 22, 2007 Silverton Oregon right now, moving back to stayton pretty soon... Darn near neighbors... I'm in Sandy. Howdy. Clean-up work is frequently 'creative rearrangement'. This car has 95% of its original 'stuff', including A/C... . . Still room for improvement.... so, its under the knife, once again.

specialk Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 that's very pretty. it's a lot easier cleaning up a 'non-emissions' carbureted compartment than a z31 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TeamNissan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 The looms on the firewall and or some of those wires right by the maf. I say again it looks fantastic as it is though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritech-z Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey Ron, I think a nice rusty header would really give you that special "something" you've been looking for. Want to trade? NWZ31, when hiding looms, usually you can just run them on the other side of whatever firewall they are currently on, and drill a hole right where they need to come out, thus keeping the visible wiring to a minimum. I've been trying to clean my engine bay up a little bit too, but I haven't gone so far as to cut off all the exta mounting tabs or hide my wiring. Also, the shiniest thing on my car is the new set of outside door handles...I may need to put some overspray on them or something so they integrate a little better. I would say that at least 80% of cleaning up an Lseries engine happens when you put on an aftermarket fuel rail and smooth out the intake manifold. Here's me: Ugly headers for the win!

Administrators RTz Posted January 23, 2007 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2007 The looms on the firewall and or some of those wires right by the maf. TeamNissan is on the right track. The battery area is an eyesore, along with some firewall 'junk'. The AFM is doing a disappearing act as well, with the installation of a Wolf3D EMS. BRAAP will also be installing an aluminum Ron Davis radiator. A bit of a tangent.... its also getting a scratchbuilt intake manifold.... http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=117607 and 6 denso coils... So the manifold/fuel rail/TB is for sale... http://classifieds.hybridz.org/showproduct.php?product=3720&cat=17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamNissan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 that coil pack conversion is really crisp. Hey veri whats the site for those fuel rails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
