Thank you for your comments everyone! Its been great sharing my build with you!

Big Engine Update as we approach the finale of this build! I hope you like what you see - keep the comments coming

Built engine finds its rightful home in the engine bay! Engine bay has been repainted gloss white. The original factory matt off white colour looks too dull.

Main colour scheme is 'black and white Storm-Trooper' look.

Engine cam covers and oil catch can painted in crinkled black finish; all hoses and attachments are black as well. A few words that come to mind to describe the engine bay: 'mean'; 'industrial'; 'military' and 'stealth'.

Close up of crinkled paint finish. The paint is not uniformed in appearance and gives it a very unique look. It is different to the textured finish on say the Mines' signature purple or the Nismo S1; R1 red cam engine covers.

Note 'HKS Power' logo on the V cam cover - looks tough!

Detailed images of V Cam badge; V Cam solenoid, wiring and oil line input and HKS limited edition oil cap

Other supporting accessories:

Racepace custom Oil catch can and washer fluid combination, again in crinkled black finish. Hoses are neatly tucked away to be unobtrusive:

Racepace spec custom PWR based 50mm radiator:

Nismo Z Tune 100mm thick intercooler:

SARD 700cc injectors denoted by the light blue colour on the injector body:

Nismo Air intake duct:

Nismo aluminum piping:

I still have a few more surprises up my sleeve. (Hint - I am a wheel whore and the black and white Storm trooper theme...... )

I like your taste in components. Nismo or Nissan all the way.! Interesting choice with the paint too. Kind of looks like fingerprints, are they Ben's?

[johnbarry88]

wrinkle paint looks good should have done the plennum too. Ive seen one of these vcam motors in action and its absolutely unreal good luck to you..

[bigmikespec]

Was there a decision made to keep the orginal plenum instead of going for a Nismo version?

[tangomatt]

Thank you guys for feedback!

I planned to replace stock strut bar with Cusco Carbon fibre ALC40 when funds permit. Also planned Garage Defend Carbon radiator cooling panel.

Yes, I am super 'anal'. Believe it or not, I polish the rear bar after a every drive, because so much soot and fumes get blown out the rear end. As the car is white, if the fumes are left longer than a few days, the rear bumper; boot; spoiler supports and rear light cover goes yellow.

I sold the Nismo plenum to another fellow member. Beno said that the Nismo plenum is good for mildly tuned RBs; but for RB28 its actually going to reduce output! He measured the inlet and the Nismo one is smaller in diameter compared to the stock item. The chamber of the Nismo carries more volume though and therefore beneficial for standard capacity RBs.
