There is nothing wrong with attention to detail especially if you are going to be popping the hood for people. I say money well spent. Your bay looks excellent and very close to what I am going to end up with except in blue. Props to SxExCx for a great product as always. I will be ordering mine down the road from you.

Oh and Boston, when you get your other intake tube hit me up about your polished Z-tube! I will take it off your hands!

I have a 5/16 plenum spacer so the bolt lengths will vary depending on the size of spacer. If you're completely OEM, the bolt lengths should be listed in the service manual.

The JDM fender washers that I used are compatible with the M6 socket cap bolts. Hope this helps.
So did you only get one set of fender washers for the plenum bolts?

You only need one set of the JDM / Ebay washers if you're just doing the 6 bolts in the center of plenum. You also only need three (3) 55MM and three (3) 70MM M6 socket cap bolts if you're just doing those 6 bolts in the plenum.

so which ones are the 35mm? are those the smaller bolts around the outside of the plenum? and which one is the fourth 70mm that Boston was saying he bought?

the 35mm bolts are on the perimeter of the plenum, and the 4th 70mm bolt is towards the rear next to the throttle body.

Where did you get that engine cover without the Nissan badge and 3.5L lettering? Also did you DIY paint it or is it professional?

Engine bay looks good btw.

I need to get the rest of the Pi-Thon fittings on. As soon as we do the coolant bypass pipes, I'll put them on.
