Nice matches the charge pipes. What's that big canister near the radiator cap? Catch can for crankcase vent?

Looks good. Do a little scrubbing on the walls and it'd look better.

I like it, very nice! This is the first pic I think I have seen of your engine bay . Is that your radiator overflow tank? (the chrome one)

Question, do you have alot of coolant in the reservoir? Mine seems to fill up really fast for some reason...

As for the intake manifold, I think it would look really nice if it were polished, not necessarily to the point of chrome though.

Mine is halfway when the car sits halfway. but if i drive around for like 15 minutes, then it fills up....

Personally i think that black makes the engine looks dirtier. The brighter the paint, to an extent makes the cars bay look much better. But the paint job looks good, just don't like the color.

I think it looks sweet. It would be even better if you painted the "NISSAN" body color or another accent color you might want.
