Pics of dressed up Z32 NA engine bays

Did he reshape the number six intake runner as well?

Yes he used a runner from another intake haha.

I had that same idea the other day. I wonder how hard it was, cuz it looks flawless from the pictures.

If someone wanted to run Meth, the Reservoir could be put in the old battery spot.

Also, "rice" can mean different things to different people. I generally agree with the last definition, but some people think that things like carbon fiber are rice. Same goes for body kits and colors they do not like. Many people prefer the stock look, anything that gets much off of that, some people will call rice. I guess I consider my G20 to be rice...

You bring up an excellent point! At the end of the day, its their car, they have to drive it, "too each his own." Same for anything in life. Shoot, according to a large majority of domestic car people ANYTHING built in japan is rice, ricer, rice burner, etc. I have my tastes and I tend not to judge others on theirs. Unless you lie, talk s***, and/or call me out and don't back it up, cuz THAT truly is and always will be lame.

now... MORE CLEAN AZZZZ Z32 engine bays. I cannot wait to get mine home so I can do exactly this.

..and does anyone know were there is a write up or build page involving the reshaping of the #6 runner, cuz I will have two intake manifolds here soon and id LOVE to do this.

Ok so since my rice thing had been blown up. I will go ahead and apppologize to anyone that feels that I was being judgemental. I person personally would not put nos on my twin turbo car because of personal preference.

And back on subject... Not exactly as clean as some of these other bays.

No worries, man! I honestly didn't know and was just asking. For the record, I wouldn't NOS my Z either if I wanted to keep it as a daily. I was just trying to come up with useful ideas to fill that space if the battery was relocated.

Battery hole problem solved FTW!!!

I think NOS, or nitrous oxide is more trouble than it is worth. I have heard of/seen more people blow up their car with that stuff. We had a local guy blow up his 03 Cobra with a 500 shot lol. The problem is that it messes up the air/fuel, so it needs to be specially tuned for it. I know some guys that race their Zs use it to spool the turbos. If you have an NA, I could see ya throwing a 50 shot in there or something, but that would still never keep up with a turboed Z. If you have a turbo, save the money on the system and the refills and get some breather mods. Or you could go with the Meth kit I mentioned above. Guys are running over 500rwhp on race gas/E85 and stock turbos...

The bottle would look nice, but I think I would prefer the look of it in my trunk...I would be scared to have it under my hood. But on the topic of engine bays, I will put a few looks of what I am going for...

Black and Red...


With the MissionX Carbon Fiber



I know it isn't as clean as you like, but I cannot really do it myself...and the CF stuff is the easiest. I don't like a lot of flashiness. I want it to look more stock and not, I guess...

Oh and thought you guys might like this...

I must admit, that looks pretty sick...

[zcar93na]

Mine isn't the cleanest, but it looks pretty good to be my DD

VERY interesting approach, I like it!

[Jeno007]

I like this, same color as mine too. Definitely gives me some ideas. Cool.

Last I heard, haven't seen him post anything in awhile is that he has over a 100 hours into the bay which i can fully believe as I have spent over 20 hours getting mine to look like it does and it's not even a quarter of what he has done.

Mine.

[zswap0429]

I agree. Definitely one of my favorites. Ill be trying to make a Sapphire version of this

[Foosblood24]

LOL Now everybody want's to copy Z-owned! (can't say as I blame em, I'm def using his 'build thread' as a checklist myself)

And Sapphire, huh? Post a pic when you're done, bro! That sounds tight!

[Jeno007]

I don't know about copying it exactly. But I definitely like the look. Like it should have come from Nissan that way. Classy.

[Foosblood24]

Well true, I won't be copying exactly. There will be a lot of things I do that are all mine. But his Z is definitely a great template!
