Well coming from the 'VW scene' I buy into the less is more attitude when it comes to cars, Even more so when it comes to the engine bay. Now obviously the 'jap/300zx scene' is a bit different but is there any 300's out the with a very minimalist engine bay??

 

Cheers in advance

gay boys engine bay...

 

 

Graham, I love the way you've painted yours mate.

My dirty engine bay :(

 

think smithy said it was a candy chrome red from america iirc??

 

Yup, Alsa paints Candy apple red over chrome with Gold pearl mist in the top laquer! :-)

That crazy tidy na has a thresd on 300zxclub.com detailing how hes done it, its had a full wire tuck

Got rid of loads of stuff and moved loads about on mine but that was all with the engine in so will be a total clean up now im stripping the car

 

I,ve tried to tidy things up a bit , de-seamed the inner wings , removed the Hicas , moved the fusebox and fuel filter and used a different power steering pot that looked better than a standard one and tarted the engine up a bit .

I love your power steering pot. Looks fantastic :cool3:

I absolutely love that Boldy.. just right. and the de-seaming of the arches makes a huge difference.

 

:bow::bow::bow:

Damn guys, my engine bay still looks shit :(

How is this deseaming achieved may i ask?

you just grind them down then filler etc :)

Thats what im talking about xan lee, Still a few things id remove/hide in there but that is what im aiming for. Done a couple of hidden looms on the vr6's which is fun. Love it when you lift the bonnet and people are like there is no way that can start up and run!! There is alot of time involved in doing them but i think everyone will agree that its worth it. Probs do bits and pieces through the summer, then whip the engine out during winter to finish it off. That way i can freshen up the motor at the same time.

 

I have to agree the wheels have ruined that car, not so much the wheels but the fitment. 1.5'' less in the width on the rears and less camber and it could have been epic!!!

I think it looks a bit odd tbh. It takes away the size of the engine which makes it look so impressive. think it looks a tad naked lol!!!!

I needed to get rid of the old seam corrosion that a fair few of us have so i cut out the corroded steel and made up some new sections so while i was doing that i welded up any other visible seams and smoothed it all off .

seems easy enough ill be doing that too to the slickie

This is my bay.....
