Default Engine Bay Dress-Up Parts...found some!

Hey guys,
I was working on dressing up my engine bay a bit. I looked for a while to find a quality product that had function and form. I ended up at Weapon-R of all places and found some great products that I installed on my Z. I'm only posting this because I posted some pics of my car in another section and people are PM'ing me about these parts now. Well here they are...

They can be purchased at www.Weapon-R.com

Coolant Reservoir which is way better then the plastic crap...


Engine Torque Dampener Brace...


Power Steering Fluid Reservoir...


picture of them on my car(I know it's shitty but it's the only one I have)

Careful with the power steering reservoir. Mine had a tiny pinhole by the screw on top which allowed air into the system and messed things up a bit. It is supposed to be sealed. My mechanic had to weld it shut.

With the power steering and coolant reservoir, is it a bolt on without any mod to it or slight mod to make it fit?

I've had zero problems with mine. All these parts bolt right up with ZERO mods. I did however have to dremel a part of my Kinetix Engine Cover to make the Torque brace fit.

i don't care for the damper...looks cheap...given the torque that our v6's create i don't think this would do much. how does this perform btw?

the engine damper from stillen that i had broke apart after a year and did nothing for my wheel hop.

check out the one from iap....much beefier in design...i purchased this one and it is high quality part just like their other products. i will post up once i have this installed and tested.

i like the other parts you have listed here and your engine bay looks very clean

Why would he be a paying sponsor? He posted pics of his car and people were asking where he got the parts from. So hes just sharing the info. He doesn't work for them. Im glad he did after looking at them for a few minutes I went ahead and ordered.

That's pretty much why I did it. I was looking at the engine bay dress up threads and notice polished and billet bottles instead of the plastic ones. I read through the reply's and most of them were custom made or hard to find. I searched for quiet a while and found them at Weapon-R. Was fairly impressed by them and figured I would help others out by showing where to find them.

its actually from Ingalls Engineering. IAP is just a parts dealer. it only fits the 2003-2005 models though. http://www.ingallseng.com/93035-stif...ssan-350z.html

Blackline Motorsports. It's spot on to the Autoteknik cf cooling plate but cheaper. I highly suggest it.

exe-chris...yes, nice piece...i really like that one. would you mind snapping a pic of that piece where the intake is? the autoteknik piece had a small flaw in that the part that covers the intake was a little smaller then the opening. something about the piece was made for a japan model z and not us so there was a slight difference in the size of the intake inlet. how does the blackline piece match up there where the intake is?
