If its a streeter I would avoid shinny stuff, Ive painted my cam covers-IC pipes-filter enclosure and catch can with a matte black VHT crinkle type finish paint, looks good and almost stockish, also gave my front mount a coat of flat black for the effect.

If you go all shinny its more likely that it could get defected, to the police shinny usually means modified which equals defect.

true dat

[DoooFusss]

yeah very true man. yeah not gonna go the hole shinny way just want it to look nice and clean and what not maybe only paint the rocker cover a silver thats bout it i guess. where do you get that black matte finish paint from?

Have a look for Al's RB30 R33 engine bay, cant get much cleaner then that! It in the aforementioned Engine Bay thread.

Buy a forward facing plenum, best way to tidy up an RB25 engine bay not to mention the practicallity of one.

^^^ Definately step 1

Around $50 for 3 cans, I had about 1/2 a can left, just need to coat the plenum now.

+1, use as much black spray can as you want but it wont hide a highmount haha

also i wouldnt spray paint the fins of a intercooler if you want the stealth black should buy one that is ceramic coated as the paint restricts it from dissipating heat and holds it in.

My high mount has had the OK from the RTA inspection stations on 3 occasions and the whole car will be enginnered when the new motor goes in, only thing that needs changing is the catch can vent which vents to atmosphere, also if you ceramic coat the I/C it will trap the heat inside and not act as a heat soak, a light coat of paint to the outside is far superior as it will still let the heat excape from the I/C (heat sink), this is also why you paint a plenum and not use a ceramic coating.

You are allowed to do lots of mods to your car as long as you follow the details given by the RTA for modifications and if it outside of the guidelines all you need to do is build it properly so you can get it legaly enginnered.

i went with a foward facing plenum boys should be her tomorrow or wednesday! the reason why i got it so quick is that my fuel rail wouldnt fit with the standard inlet manifold.
