3FIDDYZ Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Well this weekend I have been mostly...... Polishing! Dan Dan the polishing Man (dcash, cheers buddy) came over to give me a hand polishing any metal in the engine bay that was dull or had a machined finish. Still got some bits to do and bits to add, but its getting there... Just need to do something with the timing cover and then a full cleanup. Just thought I would share a few pics :blush2: Not sure what the throttle body is supposed to do (!!!), but its changed the exhaust note, a little deeper and louder. Quote
martinmac Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Wow, thats shiney Mark. Glad I had my shades on I have a very nice man coming round to sort mine soon and if he does as good a job as that I will be well happy Quote
xStric9x Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Looking nice bud Did you choose not to put the heatshield on the air filter? Quote
Andy Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Nice work guys! Pleased to see you got motivated to get polishing in the end! Quote
dcash5 Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 No probs mate.... Looks damn good if I do say so myself! Honestly dont think the pictures do it justice! Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Nice work guys! Pleased to see you got motivated to get polishing in the end! Lol!! It was you gassing that stopped us!! Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 Looking nice bud Did you choose not to put the heatshield on the air filter? Yeh, there is a big air vent right above the air filter so the carbon hood would stop air flow and also because of the vents it may be a tight fit under there! Temp at the airflow sensor sits at about 100 at idle and then drop to about 70degs when moving so nice and cool. Need to try fitting the box again to see if there is a difference! Quote

P15UL T Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 can you point me in the direction of that polished window washer cap Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 can you point me in the direction of that polished window washer cap Yeh, it was from Pi-thon but I think Dan tried to get hold of them the other day and cant seem to get hold of him... There was a guy on my350z that had a set up for grabs recently. Also, zeetoys used to be a distributer for them. Not sure if they still have stock... M Quote
