Did a little upgrade on my z's engine
 

Started stock to bottom not much but nice look

Looks good love the black

Yea had to remove plenum was a bitchhhh

I have mine out thinking about spraying it now cause of this or polish it a lot of work tho

Both will work looks million times better

And if u remove plenum ull need new gaskets with the grey silicone for gaskets (felpro)

Nissan says so but not neccessarily true. I took mine out and put it back without issues. just make sure to remove and install carefully without disturbing the gasket. you will need help getting to the rear water hose.
For me that was the hardest part. As for polishing the plenum, it is a job for someone that loves to spend time working on their car. otherwise it is not worth it doing it yourself. took me at least 15 direct hours. I really love the look now. What i did was to buy a used plenum to work with so I did not care how long it took. I have my original now sitting but with the experience i gained, i am even tempted to polish that too for fun. Lol

Yea I didn't take took long except to let the paint fully cure

Nice job!
Can't tell by the pics(cannot enlarge?)is that a CF engine cover?
If so,may want to add a few other CF parts in the engine compartment
to match.Just my opinion...the cover would look better without all the
stickers.I like the red with the black.Maybe add some more polished
items for a accent.Again,cannot see---are those caps on your brake fluid,
coolant overflow etc polished?ZeeToyz has a great set for those tanks.

I have a mishimoto 2 row alluminum radiator weaopen r coolant reserve tank mishimoto fan shroud (wiring was a ***** ) yes it's a cf cover I painted the strut tower brace my self it the oem one I may Chavez the battery and brake booster cover for cf one 420.00

Here's 2 pics its my project I need a lot more additions from cf seibon hood oem trunk cf and work xd9 lowest offset out there I'm repaint it all over red bride seats ECt.. Love how its coming out happy with my choice

3rd pic

not what I paid
 

??I paid Doug $150 via credit card.He shipped me a polished plenum.
Freight was 20 bucks.I shipped him my old plenum,freight cost me $20.
He credited me 50 bucks on my card.Maybe I got a good deal
since he's not that far from me?Also,I do business with Z1 Motorsports
which is friendly with Crawford?

Same guy I talked to. Either way I still think it is a good price. He sounded like a very nice guy too. Anybody that has done it will tell you total cost of 200.00 is a good deal
