Paint the cam covers, paint the plenum,Change silicone to blue, Hide wiring, remove things not needed in engine bay, change washer bottle/overflow tank to alloy, forward facing plenum, polish piping....

How much cash and time you got LOL.

Engine conversion maybe? That would work.

yeh i was gonna roll with that but its a fair bit of money hey....

Its not a Skyline, but it is one of the best engine bays I could find. The other one I wanted to find was the SENATOR engine bay, but I couldn't. Imagine a Skyline bay like that!! It is quite common in the Commodore scene, but not something we often do to our Skylines

Hey Joel, i'm guessing the blue belts you've got are Gates V-belts, how much did the set cost you if you don't mind me asking ?

[joeleo87]

If you need a new air filter, Blitz make a blue LM kit.

Trent, I tried to find some better photos, but I couldnt. I have the magazine with it in, and it is stupidly smooth. Everything thing is perfect. We need some skyline bays like that!!

[Trent04]

[NA_Goodness]

Street Commodores (Shock horror!!) Its in issue 126, or June 2007. I'll take some more photos of it from the mag and post it up.
