My GTR engine bay as it was and after 6 weeks borrowed time see what you think? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hi Folks

Thought I would just add these pics of my GTR engine bay before and after pics to see what you all think, this has taken 6 weeks from start to finish and its only been evening s and weekends as and when able to find time. The garage I have done this in just gives me enought room to turn sideways and walk down the car either side and about 3 foot at the front where I have been working just to give you some idea!
Before:

and after:

cheers

THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN

Excellent work!

Can I ask where did you buy the hose for the catchtank? It seems to have enough stretch to fit over the cam cover outlets but still fit the catchtank so is perfect for the job.

I like the clips holding the hose to the throttle assembly on the plenum and the hose run back to the intake will get rid of any smelly fumes.

mr mugen · 5th March 2010, 05:52 PM

it came up well,what catch can is it?

ddavej · 5th March 2010, 07:14 PM

Total transformation! You've made that into a show winning bay

Nice transformation!!!!
One question though. Have you got a twin entry ARC cooler on your car? If you do did you have to get rid of the OEM BOV piping?

darkfire_uk · 5th March 2010, 10:30 PM

Amazing work! Would you have any tips for us on how to get the engine this clean? I surely could use some!

buckerz69 · 6th March 2010, 09:33 AM

Great job mate. Have you resprayed the inner wings or did they just come up that well with polish?
