here's a g35 with a pretty nice wire tuck. there's a G35 sedan out there who wiretucked and welded/grinded and smoothed out the engine bay.



i believe both retain all daily driving functions

sweet car. As for hiding wires, I previously owned a Camaro SS and hid pretty much every visible wire running alongside the strut towers. I simply hid everything under the fender wells where its impossible to see. You had to remove the wheels to get at them. I don't think its necessary with the Z car. Looks clean already.

then again, my Camaro was pretty much for show. Everything in the engine bay was candy painted and every bolt was chrome. I even had ghost flames on covers of the engine. Looking back, that was a lot of work and $ that was absolutely cool, but was not useful at all.

I'm a huge fan of wire tucks. It's all about the extra effort to differentiate yourself from others in a good way. It may not be easily visible to the average enthusiast, but for those that appreciate the hard work it's easily spotted.

I tucked the wires on my passenger side since I had couple of plugs no longer in use.

I would like to tuck the main cable that runs across the front top part of the engine since I do not run the plastic trim anymore just like the above vortech picture.

Gotta remember most if not all are still under some kind of warranty !!
And i dont think theres too many people with dedicated show/jdm 350z's that are interested in doing wiretucks yet.

But hopefully in a couple years when my Z reaches the EG/EK/240 status i will def. be doing a wiretuck w/ color matching etc etc etc.. lol.....
so why didnt you go buy a honda a be mad JDM YO! youll find that the 350 crowd is more of a FUNCTION > FORM.

LAME. Now I've been guilty of hiding a complete Nitrous install...but that was so the "competition" would have some false hope....not for "show", just for "deception"...

I see it as a waste of time, but some have called my weekly wax sessions on my old miata a waste as well.

i doubt anyone is going to do a write up on how to wire tuck a z/g35. its obvious no one cares enough or has enough "want" to want to have a unique car to do it. From what ive noticed all z's seem about the same.
1 inch lowering. Dual exhaust. Typical rim setup (nismo/volk) and some motor work. And maybe a lip.
I guess a wiretuck isnt popular because its ...hard? lol..
It looks better, clears up room in the engine bay and is unique with z33'g35.
The kind of guys who bash on things like wire tucks are the same guys that fit the typical 'z profile' ...
Step it up guys. Change the game around and be unique. Thats my whole plan of attack with my z.

Just took about 40 feet of wire out of my car. Looks a lot better now. I'll post pictures when it's completed.

This makes sense for you and will look great, but that's because your car is a show-stopper. For most it is considered unnecessary. I'm not saying I'm opposed to it, but it's way down on the priority list. It's really to each his own. Personal taste shouldn't be argued, it's why we have forums. Gotta see the different things out there.
