Engine Bay Pics*Post here*
Been working on cleaning up the front of the motor for a long while, now its finally time to show it off.
Before
After
Latest round of mods:
Koyo V-Core 36mm Aluminum Racing Radiator (for the 350z)
Forged racing slim fan shroud - polished
Earl's Transmission Cooler w/ custom RRDYE bracket, braided hoses and AN fittings
Polished Thermostat
Polished Unorthodox Racing Idler Pulley
Polished Unorthodox Racing Alternator Pulley
Modified, welded and Chrome coolant pipes (driver/passenger sides - deleted coolant hose that runs across the timing cover)
Various braided hoses and polished clamps
PCV valve converted to AN fitting
A couple more polished bolts
HUGE thanks to all who helped: RRYDE, OH6 G35, Dave's Garage, bigc, Marty_G, and sammy_G
Tranny lines converted to AN (a very tedious task, thanks RRYDE!)
Forged Racing fan shroud and Koyo Radiator
UR Alternator Pulley
UR Idler Pulley
AN fitting on PCV valve
Polished thermostat
So much room now
Its done for now, but we all know there is no such thing as done.
Future plans are to powdercoat my sway bars and paint my core support.

That looks great Marcus. Simply beautiful!
How much stress is on the line from the thermostat to the lower radiator? I was going to do that one when I did my upper but was afraid of the stress from bending a braided line that far. Did you use a 90-degree adapter or anything at the bottom?

That is an OEM hose that I sleeved, just like the bypass hose next to it.
if only my bay was anywhere close to looking this good lol.shaved and painted battery covers would look pretty nice too

LOL
Now that I go back and look I can tell. The Earl's clamps at the end help throw it off a lot.
I need you to do mine. I tried to do that and it came out like crap so I took it off. Awesome work as always Randy!

why not get the HR thermostat n delete that hose completely?
