Very well. I love it and for $40 shipped, you can't beat it.

 

 

has alot of potential to be a very clean bay. Clean it up man but looks good

 

In my 96 after the install. I miss her

Mine. Haven't been able to detail her as much as I would like. Spent most of my time getting it running correctly.

Error 404: No mods found

what a d*mn clean radiator reservoir tank
wondering what you've done to make it looks like new? I just buy a new one from Nissan and they're "yellow-ing" again. really frustrated about it

 

^^^ paint it black lol

 

please don't ask me to do that I am a fan of clean engine bay not "black" engine bay

 

IC 2 mods

 

Now that is class my friend, well done.

 

I took that pic like 2 years ago, I have a injen Cai on it now, that resevoir tank was brand new aftermarket, still looks like that now.

 

Take your overflow tank off the fender (not at all hard). Flush the sediment out with a high pressure hose, then soak it over the weekend in a tub of bleach.

I did that last year with my (then) 9 year old reservoir tank, and it came out like new again. Well... new enough. Let's say 95%.

 

sorry, may I ask you what brand is it?

Thanks sir.
I hope I read this post few months ago. Anyway, I'll try it with the "old" one (almost 15 years old) hahaha...
will post the result after

 

I got it from Napa, No Idea On Brand.

 

noted Sir, thanks Sir

 

anyone done a red intake on a 5.5 gen if not anyone mind photo shopping me a pic?

 

Love that Cover! lol

 

Sure I'll join in.

 

I like that. The contrast of the metalic orange is a little much, IMO, but it looks executed really, really well. Good job.

Now dress up that battery area.

 

The battery has since been dressed up. This picture is little old. I now have a new battery, tie down, and terminals installed. Looks much cleaner.

 

i like how the color pops out at you lol

 

X2

 

^^^^^ wat did you use to paint the metal peices, was it regular paint or powder coat???? it looks sick tho, bet you can find orange hoses and wires on ebay to match that real nice

 

More orange bling for you... although I'm not sure what you've got going on there for a radiator cap. Actually, what is that? It looks... odd. Like it's busting through aluminum foil. I don't get it.

Anyway:

 

Everyone always thinks it's powder coat. Even up close in person they think it's powder. It's actually just bronze VHT High temp spray paint. I think it's $7.99 from any local auto parts store. I don't plan on going that far with the bronze. I don't want to overdo it.

I rather like that radiator cap. My current one is just the standard Mishimoto cap on a Mishimoto radiator. The light washes out the radiator's awesomeness.

 

Search "vms radiator cap" in Amazon. They have a variety of anodized aluminum colors. I just ordered one in gun-metal gray.

Rather wish the writing wasn't in the middle, but I have to get one in my hands first, before figuring out what to do about that. Paint, sticker, powder-coat, nothing at all... we'll see.

 

BTW, there's over 1200 posts of related stuff over here in the 5th gen forum.

looking good everyone

 

Oh yes, I've been following that thread for sometime now. I really need to get my hands on some dress up bolts. Every bolt is rusted or corroded under my hood.

 

 

 

Before.....


Halfway there still got to put Engine Cover and RL FSTB Powdercoated Black and Paint Yellow Caps or buy those Colored Caps...

 

nice! that's clean. which bay cleaning method did you go with? I need to clean up my bay.

 

 

Pre 00vi


After 00vi with PR CAI



How it is right now (literally went to the garage and snapped the pic)


Ive gotta clean it up a bit and my loom some wires... and the duct tape on the upper rad hose is temp waiting for the new hose to come in...

 

I painted the IM, they spray degreaser let it sit for a couple minutes then hosed it down with a pressure washer, then blew all the water off, and put a little Armor all to make it shine....
