Question Stillen Turbo Engine Question

Hey Folks. Has anyone cleaned a 350Z Stillen Supercharger kit before? The Z engine is not covered like the G's engine is. I was going to cover electronics with saran wrap before anything is done. What else do I need to worry about?

What the ****? Why would you need to cover the electronics? You do know cars are meant to be able to handle rain right?

Well, as I mentioned, I'm use to the Infiniti G35's I use to have. Most everything was covered vs. the Nissan 350's. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing I needed to worry about since I always cleaned the G35 engines without any problems.

That is going to take some serious work. Was the car left out in a sandstorm or something?

Well, here is what the 350 looked like. Today, the banners were removed from the vehicle. Needless to say, the car still needs a bunch of work done to it. I know what you wish to say. It's not worth saying anything about it since it had happened. It sites outside at the dealership 24/7. Now, I'm trying to clean it up. It will not be an easy one.

Tell me about it. From what I know, they are going to sell it "as-is". I will have it at my place for a few days trying to make the best out of it. I've already advised them there are some things that are damaged and must be replaced. I will take my time messing with it.
