I actually achieved 17.364 whp by leaving mine on.

 

Guess you got a better tune than I did or did you get you're engine cover overnighted from japan? I knew I shoulda replaced mine with a JDM model.

 

don't take it off. Your car will blow up if you do.

 

speaking of whp gains, does anybody know of a thread about who i can order the G35driver sticker from? im trying to get that 12whp gain asap

speaking of thread jacking......

 

Mai engine cover is hella JDM....

 

I tried this saturday but could not get the nuts with the rubber covers over them off, any ideas?

 

you just unscrew it then pull it off...not much science to it...

 

Loosen the nuts pull it off....you cant do that without help leave your car 100% stock you are not meant to mod

As others have said it serves no real purpose other than to hide an ugly engine (when stock) at one time I had a carbon fiber cover on i felt it looked better than the OEM a little polishing and it can look great.

here is jookyshanks with carbon

Speedraver stock plenum and serious polish work




Candlestickparks with some serious polish work and aftermarket plenum

 

jealous of you 1st gen guys cause the 2nd gen G looks soo **** if you take off the engine cover

 

^i've never seen a 2nd gen without an engine cover haa

 

2nd gen were the 2006+ g coupes right? i can post a pic of mine if you've never seen it lol. but mine has the engine cover off, and it has plenum spacer, z tube, and jwt pop charger.. but it's still ugly!

 

no, thats a 1st gen....2nd gen is 2008+ coupe & 2007+ sedan.

 

ugh just look at it it makes me feel like






PS: My excuse for not modding the engine bay is...umm...lack of funds?

 

^ok that is disgusting to look at. please delete pics from the internet foreverz

 

ahahha ew lol no wonder i've never seen one without the cover before this. hahaha
