    So putting the starter under the engine is a good idea why????
    And sticking the waterpump behind the timing belt is good because of what?
    And hiding the thermostat under the intake manifold is brilliant for what reason?

    I can see why they junk their cars in Japan after 40k, they've made them nearly impossible to work on. I know some of you enjoy putzin' in the garage with this stuff, but for some of us it's a serious money issue. And a downright PITA. I for one say the engineers and designers of this engine were idiots.
    Period.
    End of story.



    Dude, honestly i can tell you after owning a 300zx TT (Fairlady to you US guys) this VX engine bay is HEAVEN!!!!! You could spend days trying to recover a dropped spanner from the 300zx engine bay, lol you cant get your hands around it and there are SO many components crammed uner the hood. You are guaranteed to scrape the back of your hand just putting oil in it!!! and to change a starter motor means dropping the exhaust and possible tranny !

    This is a VERY tidy engine bay with alot of redundant systems removed, as you can see .....its TIGHT






    This was mine lol.....a bit dirtier!





    And just for the hell of it whilst im searching my photobucket account.....i think there is an engine bay here somewhere
