    Quite a few of the people with custom bays look like they've done that...it actually looks really nice...

    This Engine Bay Tucking is all good and all, but what happens if you need to diagnose or fix a problem? I mean, most of you want to make the Z32 so called easier to work on by Deleting everything in sight, but then you want to do a Tuck? Seems to not make sense. So if you need to replace a relay or fuse, what have you got to do? remove the wheel and wheel well plastics to get to it?

    Just seems like a waste of time and money....just another Z that will be parted out be side the owner can't get a RWC or find someone that wants to buy into a headache.

    Please explain why tucking an engine bay would mean you can't get a RWC?

    It really depends on where you relocate everything, my fuse box is going in the passenger footwell, not hard to access.

    Just more in general, modifying and deleting, not so much tucking

    Yeah that would be a good spot for that rather than tucking it in the well like I've seen done.

    I love gold heat shield! Though the slotcar doesn't really have a tucked bay... I prefer engine bays with lots of stuff in them neatly organised. Because more is always better :p

    I thought that the stock plenum was a carefully engineered component that Nissan had spent good money on research and development........mine you this guy is not going to need a plenum pull too often, and replacing turbos is not going to require an engine pull anymore :cool:.

    Its a VQ engine. Dont think it was such an issue in the 350z to do a Plenum pull for almost every job [TIS]
