as you can see the colors don't really match. Does anyone know where they sell them like this. with red highlights instead of white like my old one.

dunno. looks good tho to have a steady hand to paint that. if your bored again polish that fuel rail

 

[rlacasse1]

Thanks. I used q-tips to paint it. Haha.

I am working on cleaning up the engine bay.

The things we resort to when boredom strikes! Nice job tho

No Shit!!

Next time you're bored, I second yanking that fuel rail off and cleaning it up.

If you have an afternoon to kill, just start yanking stuff out and attack that bay with some "Simple Green." Will do wonders...until you drive the car 10 miles and the shitty VC gasket pukes everywhere again. Dizzums are dirty whores for sure.

Yeah. Ive been trying to do that and clean it up a little. I spent Sunday removing the ass load of wires running to the back that the previous owner had for his system.

There's nothing worse than the things a previous owner does sometimes. When I got mine I shifted into 3rd and the radio shut off Pulled it all apart to find the wiring for the radio "twisted and taped" spent the rest of the afternoon soldering and heat shrinking everything. Thanks for the unnecessary project Previous Owner.

 

[thatblondechik]

Haha! Gotta love it.

How about this one. I got my car WITH the turbo-timer. Everytime I went into a store and left the timer running, I'd come out to find my doors unlocked.

Previous owner wired it so that the doors unlocked when the TT shut off.

dang, he has 450cc injectors ... clean them up to shine also.

..and a Gates timing belt ....

-DSM

 

[rlacasse1]

Yeah I need to really go through the car and clean it. I have had it for awhile now but just got it registered thanks to the idiot who owned it before me. So i never really payed attention to the car much til i got it to where i could drive it every day. I have a lot of cleaning to do though.

Anyway the wiring behind the radio was a mess but whoever did it used connector instead of just tape. So wasn't to bad when i removed everything.

And as for the injectors. My car is 100% stock with 107,000 miles on it. Not bad.

But I have to get it back into perfect shape before i start putting aftermarket shit on it.

Oh my god, I just died laughing.

I got my car with a blown turbo, a gauge cluster that flickers out all the time, and blown tranny.

Try having a guy that tried to re-wire everything, run an aftermarket fuse bank, switches and relays for shit i couldnt even find! I did custom audio and video for years so dont tell me about bad! hahahaha.

If you guys need an amazing degreaser for that engine bay then get this stuff. Bust Up - Heavy Duty Cleaner/Degreaser 4 x 1 gal. - BUT-4322110

Just watch it on rubber hoses and plastic, it will turn rubber hoses orange it is so strong. Oh and dont breath it. It feels like you took a sniff of pepper spray.

Where do you get that at.

I used to soak parts in a 55gallon drum of carb cleaner at my dads shop. But this carb cleaner wasn't that watered down crap you buy at the store. It was strong enough to soften aluminum. At least thats what he said, so i never left a part in there for to long.

 

[quiksilver20004]

You can get it at most janitorial and industrial places cleaning places carry it. By boss uses it on our diesel trucks and its crazy how well this stuff works, and we mix it at about a 1:4 ratio.

Here is a pic of the engine bay of my Maxima after i used that degreaser and hit it with a quick spray of turtle wax F21

Damn. I need to get some of that stuff.

And the 1:4 i asssume is 1 part cleaner to 4 parts water?

 

[quiksilver20004]

yep 1 part cleaner to 4 parts water. If it is really greased up then you can use a stronger mix but it all depends.

 

[rlacasse1]

Ok. Ill have to do that. I have alot of cleaning in front of me.
