After the DR30 won best classic at the Show & Shine I have felt inspired to attack the next the item on the agenda which is the engine bay.

In the old days I would attack something like this myself but with 2 kids, busy job and generally no time, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for good place that could do the following for me (preferably northside of Sydney)

1. Clean up and respray the engine bay (will probably require the removal of the engine to do it properly).

2. Do a small tidy up and some hiding of unnecessary wires etc

cheers

Send a message to 2GUUP on the forums, might be 2GU UP... dont know if he is doing it himself, but he should know about it...

Yea but his engine isn't even hooked up!

:laughing-smiley-014:

pricing is hourly, but when looking at the job i can roughly give u a quote.

DIF - my wiring was basically all there which means i obviously do a good job considering ur comment.

only thing missing was fuel hoses, timing belt and catch can

PM me with an idea for going from this:

to something like this:

I would not look to be doing a ton of chrome basically respraying the engine bay to body colour, hiding the worst of the wiring, respraying the intake and cam covers, bit of colour matching.

    • Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this   
    • For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....
    • Oh, yes. If you connected it to the manifold your first drive would be very eventful. Very shit. Very interesting. Perhaps take a video if you feel the need to see. Terminating the breather at the top of the bellhousing is normal/stock. Some gearbox lubes (hello Redline Shockproof) like to foam up a bit and require the breather to be extended up higher, so you don't get spots of smurf jizz staining the floor under your car. Mine is thus right up behind the head. Make sure you fit a u-bend at the top so it points back downward so that dirt and schmutz has a harder time getting into it.
    • Cheers for the replies. So i don't connect it to the manifold I just run the hose high up on the firewall?
    • It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
